Managing risks in the production side of E & P is inherently problematic
and compounded by resource and logistical constraints imposed by
the often remote operating locations. Further, we fully recognize that
each installation, whether offshore or inland, has its own
distinct set of hazards and operating challenges.
A key purpose of Varicom's solutions in the E & P arena is to
not just identify hazards but to control the
events which can invoke those hazards. One widely known category of
such events is human performance. To this end, we apply our
training programs to help improve safe practices and develop
an effecitive incident response system. Yet these training solutions
are by no means generalized or "off the shelf" as so many others are.
Instead, we develop detailed models of the hazards
specific to the subject installatin and tailor each training program accordingly.
By taking this "installation-specific" approach our solutions
are better able to address not just the hazards
but their cause-effect relatinships to operations and workers.
At the end of the day this approach enables more effective risk avoidance,
fewer mishaps and better overall safety performance.
