Introduction
This Report covers Health and Safety inspection of the Logistics Base. The Logistics Base supplies offshore Oil and Gas industry.
The number of employees is 250. There are 5 managers and 16 line supervisors. The Base operates 7 days per week and 24 hours per day.
The facility consists of warehouse, open area, diesel treatment and storage area, pipe yard, laboratory, quayside and office including welfare facilities.
The inspection took place at the warehouse, open area, diesel treatment and storage area, pipe yard, office including canteen, laboratory and mechanical workshop.
Executive Summary
No serious incident happened at the Base since it started to operate. However there are some findings which are recommended to implement. The implementation of these findings will reduce injury to the workforce and prevent chronic occupational illnesses, beside that it may prevent possible dangerous accidents. The fulfilling the recommendations will protect workforce and satisfy international standards and conventions such as the Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health
Management System (ILO-OSH2001) and the ILO Occupational Safety and Health Convention
(C155) and the Recommendation (R164)
The most serious concern is absence of earthing of road fuel tanker and diesel storage tank, plus storage of gas and oxidizer cylinders at the same place. These findings increase risk of fire and explosion. Other areas of concern are:
1. Lack of effective instructing of workforce prior shift by line supervisors
2. Lack of reporting of unsafe conditions and acts
3. The presence of slips, trips and manual handling hazards
4. Inadequate arrangements for evacuation in case of fire
5. Lack of noise, vibration and chemical
