equipment failure.

Applicable E Choose "Y" if "Hazard Scenario What If" applies to operation and "N" if it does not.

Threats/Consequences F A list of the potential consequences (HSE and NPT) of the "what if" occurring.

HSE G The risk of a situation/event with the potential to cause harm (to people, assets, or the environment).

NPT H The risk of Non Productive Time (NPT), including lost time and costs, formation damage and/or any deviation from the plan.

Controls/safeguards, and detailed recommended practices for high risk HSE items and referenced to specific prescriptive
Required HSE Critical Controls / Safeguards O
IRP 22 enforced requirements.
Recommendations, considerations, and informational statements on how to reduce, eliminate, or manage Medium/Low
Considerations J
Risk HSE items and all NPT items.

List of actions required to reduce/eliminate the potential occurrence and/or severity if the hazard cannot be eliminated
entirely.
Actions to be Taken / By Who and When K
Who = Party/parties responsible for each action assigned.
When = Date by which the action is to be completed.

Primary Responsible Party L Categorization of the hazard scenario by primary responsible party.

Primary Category M Categorization of the hazard scenario by primary category (equipment, well program, etc.)

Risk Ranking - severity of the event (consequence multiplied by likelihood of occurrence)


High Risk - Engineering, Procedures, and Training required to control/mitigate risk.

Medium Risk - Procedures and Training required to control/mitigate risk. Should consider Engineering.
2
Low Risk - Training required to control/mitigate risk. Should consider Engineering and Procedures.

General Notes about Register


Register is divided into 8 sections, coinciding with the operational phases of UBD/MPD/AD operations.

Additional items may be added to each section by the IRP committee or the end user. The list of items in the register is not exhaustive and will change with time as
additional hazards are identified. Last item number used (as of 2015-03-11) is: 228 Begin any additional numbering with 229. Note that #152 was deleted as it was
redundant.
The IRP 22 Committee invites organizations to share lessons learned and additions to the Risk Register by emailing safety@enform.ca
Use alt+enter to create multiple line items within a single cell

Validations of operational phase, relevance, primary responsible party, primary category and y/n columns use the data in the tabs mathcing their name. All validations are
set up to validate any value from the entire column so when adding a new item it will automatically be included in the validation.

To subscript for H2S, O2, N2 etc, select the character to subscript, right click and choose format cells, check of subscript

Risk Register is set up to print on LEGAL paper in landscape layout.
