B. Review Comments

The following text is copied from the E&P Forum Guidelines.

The E&P Forum is the international association of oil and gas companies and industry organisations founded in 1974. It is concerned with all aspects of oil and gas exploration and production having international implications, and in particular with safety and health and environmental protection. It represents its members’ interests at the United Nations (UN) agencies, European Union (EU) and other international bodies.

These Guidelines have been prepared to assist in the development and application of Health, Safety and Environmental Management Systems (HSEMS) in exploration and production operations. Forum Members have participated in the work, to ensure that their collective experience is used and that the Guidelines have wide acceptance.

The HSEMS Guidelines have been developed by the E&P Forum to:

• cover relevant Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) issues in a single document;

• be relevant to the activities of the E&P industry worldwide;

• be sufficiently generic to be adaptable to different companies and their cultures;

• recognise, and be applicable to, the role of contractors and subcontractors;

• facilitate operation within the frame work of statutory requirements; and,

• facilitate evaluation of operations to an international standard(s) as appropriate.

This management system is comprehensive and contains all 27 OHSMS variables, except, employee participation and health program/surveillance. Of particular note is the extent to which this management system addressed core structural issues, such as, procedures on procedure development. Another example is the detail provided on requirements for a controlled document system.
