GENDER SPECIFIC CHALLENGES IN HAZARDOUS
INDUSTRIES
- SADIA BRENNAN

Summary
• The article discusses the various hazards in an offshore oil and gas industry, including some specific
challenges that are gender specific, and faced by women.
• Hazards in Oil and Gas Drilling: worker safety, geographic challenges and gender specific issues
• Geographic Challenges: Indentifying deposits in the rock, identifying reservoirs and traps, exploration and
field delineation.
• Offshore drilling types: Jack Up Rigs, Deep Water Drilling
• Notable Accidents: Land Well in Asia, Piper Alpha, Oman 2002, India 2001, Indonesia 2000, Deepwater
Horizon
• Worker Safety Training: Survival Training, Using Equipments to get off the installation; Emergence
Response System (Escape chutes); Location Specific training: (H2S, Mercury, High Temperature, HEAT
(Hostile Environment Awareness Training))
• Gender Specific Issues:
• 3% of women work in Offshore Oil and Gas Industry (mainly in catering, maintenance and health & safety).
• Challenges Faced by Women: Environmental, Accommodations, Physical Strength, Stereotyping, peer
perception
• Biggest Challenge: Individual perception

Policies And Procedure
• Policies and procedures:
• Survival Training
• Safeguard Engineering
• Offshore specific training
• Emergence Response Training
• BIOSEIT training
• HUIET training
• Transfer of personnel procedure

Strategies
• Training strategies:
• Training on safety methods
• Improving participation
• Demonstration of safety equipment
• Procedure for escaping the installation
• Prevention of blowouts

MARINE AND OFFSHORE HAZARDS

Summary
• Major Shipyard Accidents: Spyros Accident
• FPSO conversion process (components: pre arrival to conversion yard, arrival shipyard, construction/
commissioning, Turret Module Fabrication, Flare System, Fuel Gas, Separation, Water Injection, Export
Metering, Utilities, Power generation, e house, steam boilers, marine systems)
• Major Accident Hazards: Hydrocarbon related (Fire/Explosion, Gas dispersion); Non Hydrocarbon related
(Transportation accident, ship collision, Crane and boom collapse, occupational accident, dropped objects)
• Elements of a Safety Case: descriptive (info on MHI), MAPP & SHMS (Focus on major accident), Predictive
(Identification of Major Accidents & Risk Assessment), Process Safety, Mechanical Engineering, Electrica,
control & instrumentation, Human Factors (safety, critical task, roles and design), Emergency response
(incorporating domino impact), ALARP (gap analysis and demonstration).
• Elements of hazard management and safety training:
• Hazard Management and FSA; Dispersion and Radiation; Hydrocarbon gas release; Fire and Explosion; Safety
Integrity Levels (SIL): SIL 0, SIL A, SIL 1, SIL 2, SIL 3, SIL 4; Non Hydrocarbon Hazard Analysis (IRPA and PLL);
Quantifying Risk: IRPA (individual risk per annum); Predicted Noise Level Contour; Risk Matrices; Dropped Objects;
Understanding risk.; Tolerable vs Acceptable Risk; ALARP and Tolerable risk; Risk Martix
