An offshore Operator contracted Lloyds Register Consulting to conduct an independent HF-focussed organisational assessment into the underlying contributory factors to HCRs on their platforms, in order to support their own internal initiatives to reduce HCRs. The aim of Lloyds Register Consulting’s assessment was to help the organisation confirm and identify the key areas of focus in order to combat HCRs and prioritise further actions going forward.

Lloyds Register Consulting adopted a systematic approach to investigate the HF contributions to HCRs on the organisation’s platforms, including a Thematic Analysis of past incident data, offshore interviews and onshore interviews with staff and detailed analysis of findings to identify common emergent themes issues. Eight key areas were identified as priorities for further action, and Lloyds Register Consulting provided the operator with recommendations for improvements and/or remedial actions to deal with identified contributory factors

This presentation will explain the approach followed by Lloyds Register Consulting and the findings from the study, including the key Human Factors causal factors that were identified. It will also highlight the key lessons learned that are considered to be potentially relevant to the wider offshore sector.
