A health and safety report, HSR, is to document that health and
safety risks on offshore installations have been identified,
assessed and reduced as much as reasonably practicable.
The HSR is also to document that the enterprise can control
these risks and, if necessary, evacuate the installation
effectively in critical situations.
As a minimum an HSR is to include:
- A detailed description of the offshore installation and its
operating conditions.
- A detailed description of the management system for health and
safety.
- Identification of potential risks of major accidents and
hazardous impacts on health and safety as well as the general risk
involved when on the offshore installation.
- An assessment of risks and documentation that these risks have
been reduced as much as is reasonably practicable (ALARP).
- Documentation that evacuation to a safe place can be carried
out effectively and safely in a critical situation.
The health and safety report is to be updated when significant
changes in health and safety conditions or the operating conditions
on the installation occur.
For mobile offshore installations the health and safety report can
be prepared in accordance with “International Guidelines of
Drilling Contractors, Health, Safety and Environmental Case
(Guidelines for Mobile Offshore Drilling Units)”.
The HSR does not need to be one coherent document containing all
the information mentioned above, but should as a minimum include
references to where this information can be obtained.
