1 Small Boat Operations in the Marine Seismic Industry Jess Yeates Marine HSE Training Manager CGGVeritas Chair Small Workboat Workgroup (IAGC)

2 A Holistic and Synergistic Approach to Small Boat Safety

3 Step Change in Safety - Strategic Plan: We have developed a set of six long-term goals to help us focus our efforts on those areas that will deliver a sustainable improvement in our industry's health and safety performance. They are: Our industry has the competence to identify hazards and ensure that risks are properly controlled; We will have strong and sustainable leadership in health and safety; Our workforce will be fully engaged in health and safety; We will raise standards and continually improve our health and safety performance; Asset integrity issues will be effectively managed across our industry; Health and safety issues will be effectively communicated across our industry.

4 IAGC - PCCN October 2010 The principle of instigating a Small Boat Safety Induction (SBSI) course for New Hires and Technical Support Staff was presented to the PCCN Forum Which received general acceptance that this course may be beneficial within the industry The underlying principle of the SBSI was to provide controlled exposure to hazards presented by small boat operations, including capsize drills in a safe environment, similar to that of the HUET

5 The next step The SBSI however could be seen as one of many steps in the creation of a more industry regulated and recognised training portfolio for Seismic Small Boat Operations and asks some fundamental questions should we now, as an industry body determine and govern the training and operational use of small boats; define competency levels agreeable across the seismic industry, that both we and our clients can measure; and define continuous personal development/attainment for seismic small boat crews (A log book in essence) with set objectives? Whilst allowing individual seismic companies to carry out training and operations for small boat within their own policies and standards

6 Maritime Law The marine industry is governed by the IMO The IMO oversee regulations that all flag states can attain, the lowest common denominator Small Boats operations are governed by STCW, but only reflect the use of Rescue Boats, Fast Rescue Boats and Life Boats Work boats are unique to a limited number of industry's and are not covered by STCW

7 Industrial Ownership of Small Boat Operations Between the combined fleets of 4 seismic companies a small boat is launched every 45 minutes Company Number of Vessels Number of Launches per month Average launches per 3D Vessel per month Data capture for a period of: CGGVeritas 15 (3D) 6 (2D) Months PGS 11 (3D) 2 (2D) month Fugro 8 (3D) 1 (2D) months Western Geco 15 (3D) months Total 954 This much exposure provides the marine seismic industry with almost unparalleled experience in small boat operations This Experience can define Small Boat Operations in the marine seismic industry

10 What tasks Workboats perform : 2010

11 What tasks Workboats perform : 2010

12 Risk Analysis of Small Boat Failure Modes Qualitive Risk Assessment based over 3 small boat workshops, by small boat coxswains

13 HSE Competence Assessment Training Guidelines for the Geophysical Industry How we currently define the training of small boat crews

14 What is Competency? Knowledge, Skills and Attitude We recognise behavioural based safety is the next step in reducing incident rates Selecting delegates on attitude as well as knowledge and skill

15 OSM 8 - Small Boats Marine Operations is this the way ahead? or an area for development?

16 Workboat Guidelines Is it time to revise this document? New technology in small boats and seismic equipment, etc!

17 How should we determine Competency? Defining core generic training objectives with competency based assessments within IAGC, utilising the combined knowledge of all companies provides us with synergy

18 Human Factors - Behavioural Based There are two distinct types of Human Reliability Assessment (HRA): 1. qualitative assessments that aim to identify potential human failures and optimise the factors that may influence human performance, and 2. quantitative assessments which, in addition, aim to estimate the likelihood of such failures occurring. The results of quantitative HRAs can feed into traditional engineering risk assessment tools and methodologies, such as event and fault tree analysis. Martin Anderson MErgS, EurErg, MIOSH, HM Specialist Inspector of Health & Safety (Human Factors) UK Health And Safety Executive

19 Personal Protective Equipment, Why SOLAS? SOLAS test requirement ( IMO LSA Code) is to turn an unconscious person in calm fresh water. The NEW SOLAS 2010 Lifejacket Regulations: After the 1st of July 2010, all lifejackets being replaced on board an existing vessel, or any vessel buying new lifejackets, must buy lifejackets that comply with the new SOLAS EC 2010 MSC.200(80) Regulations

20 Personal Floatation Device Test 8 th April 2010 Test Conditions Life Jackets Crewsaver Crewfit 275n Twin Chamber (SOLAS) Mullen 275n Twin Chamber Mullen 150n Sea Conditions Calm Sea 0.5m Wave 1m Wave Test Subject Size 60-80kg kg 100+kg

21 Test Conditions - Additional Test Capsized Small Boat Escape Calm Sea only Work-suit - Buoyancy Typhoon immersion/work-suit Personal Locator Beacon Antenna height out of water SOLAS test requirement ( IMO LSA Code) is to turn an unconscious person in calm fresh water.

22 100kg Test Subject - 1m Wave (Crewsaver 275) Fitted Work-suit Fitted Life-jacket Inflation Time 4 seconds Righting Time 4 seconds Concerns Funnel effect experienced from bladder geometry Spray hood increased funnel effect (MOV0BB) When test subject turned, face down, self righting was not achieved

23 Capsize (Mullen 150) Escape time 2 seconds (MOV0B5)

24 Capsize (Mullen 275) Escape time 5 seconds (MOV0B2)

25 Similar test carried out by the UK HSE and RGIT in 1994

26 Results reflected by UK HSE Report (OTH )

27 Conclusions reflected by the same report

28 Lifejackets for abandonment from an offshore installation - Offshore Information Sheet No. 7/2009 The Offshore Installations (Prevention of Fire, Explosion and Emergency Response) Regulations (PFEER) The British/European standard for personal flotation devices, BS EN ISO , indicates that a 275 Newton lifejacket is likely to be necessary to right an unconscious person wearing an immersion suit. (However this passive self righting ability will also depend on the immersion suit type and on the lifejacket design, so that a lesser buoyancy may still be sufficient in some circumstances). As per EN ISO Section 4.4, a suitable lifejacket must be selected depending on an evaluation of the risks to which the user is likely to be exposed. Note also that this standard does not define every lifejacket feature which may be appropriate, such as provision of a suitable light, or provision of a buddy line.

29 The Offshore Installations (Prevention of Fire, Explosion and Emergency Response) Regulations (PFEER) Compatibility test protocol for lifejackets and immersion suits on offshore installations

30 Industrial Reporting In order for the marine seismic industry to lead the development of guidelines for best practise collective information is vital, it will enable us to benchmark Benchmarking allows accurate Semi-Quantitative Risk Assessments and Trend Analysis to be achieved Creating an Industrial Reporting Mechanism could produce quality data for interrogation

31 Summary Our industry has the competence to identify hazards and ensure that risks are properly controlled; We will have strong and sustainable leadership in health and safety; Our workforce will be fully engaged in health and safety; We will raise standards and continually improve our health and safety performance; Health and safety issues will be effectively communicated across our industry. A Holistic and Synergistic approach by the Marine Seismic Industry will achieve all of the above
