TOFS Time Out for Safety


TOFS Time Out For Safety is a safety stop of the job, and means that everyone included in a work task can stop the job at any time for a safety review in order to make the job safer. A TOFS is not necessarily a lengthy stop, but can still have a great impact in terms of preventing or avoiding undesired incidents. TOFS Time Out For Safety is a personal tool to be used by everyone involved in a working operation. Leaders could also implement a common TOFS. A TOFS Time Out For Safety can be demanded when you are in doubt about what to do you are uncertain about whether the operation is carried out in a safe enough manner the work changes significantly from the original plan you believe there is a need for a reminder to people about the need to maintain the right focus When a TOFS Time Out For Safety is called for, you must 1. Stop the work 2. Assess the work situation 3. Explain or reconsider what needs to be done

Introduction

BOSS (similar to the Norwegian version STOPP) is a tool used for encouraging observations of and conversations about safety at work.

BOSS focuses on a number of observation categories, i.e. :


Human actions Use of personal protective equipment Work postures Use of tools and equipment Procedures and housekeeping Process Safety\ Major accident risk. Health Environment BOSS/STOPP can be used by everybody who works for or with BP Norge

User Conversation

A BOSS observation is to lead to a discussion between the observer and those being observed (colleagues or supervisors) and end up with a completed BOSS/STOPP card The conversation can cover both positive, safe working behaviors and at risk behaviors that can be improved. A person's HSE behaviour is influenced by having a conversation about safety understanding the significance of the conditions observed understanding that good safety behaviour is observed and appreciated understanding that if you are about to make a mistake that could lead to an accident, one of your colleagues can stop you in order to prevent the accident A BOSS/STOPP conversation is to be reported using the STOPP card (paper version) or electronically via the BOSS database ( Link to the database ) The descriptions in BOSS/STOPP cards shall not refer to names in order to encourage everyone to focus on improvements and positive actions After a BOSS/STOPP card has been completed, the department leader (team leader) shall try to identify and mitigate the basic causes of the unsafe behaviour observed If a BOSS/STOPP card can not be treated at team leader level, it has to be registered in Traction for any further action. BOSS/STOPP onshore shall not be used for reporting poor quality conditions not associated with the activity taking place in the area and which therefore will not lead to a conversation. Such conditions shall be reported to Johnson Control.

SOC Safety Observations and Conversations


All operational sites operated by BP must use the Safety Observations and Conversations (SOC) tool. Ref. OMS 3.2.2.1 Implement the SOC program. SOC is a tool for systematic observation of workplaces and encourages positive interaction between management and staff. The SOC tool is for use by all leaders and other personnel who are accountable for maintaining safe operations. In BPN the following personnel are required to receive SOC training: All offshore managers/leaders BP representatives/leaders at fabrication yards Onshore managers/leaders who regularly visit offshore/onshore operational sites Other personnel who may benefit from having the SOC training are: Management/team leads onshore HSSE professionals Technical Authorities Other personnel visiting operational sites/fabrication yards Safety Delegates Training will be conducted by certified SOC trainers. To complete certification to conduct SOCs, personnel must have completed the 1-day training course and quantity three SOCs onsite in the company of another trained individual. SOC is designed to support developing and maintaining good safety performance as follows. recognize and promote good practice and behaviour recognise and prevent the unsafe acts, errors and violations that trigger events root out the hidden latent hazards in operations maintain protective barriers in a condition that will prevent accidents Ideally an SOC conversation will involve two people conducting the SOC a leader and an assistant. If you are going to lead an SOC conversation in an area other than your own area of accountability, then the assistant will ideally be someone who is accountable for that area. It will not always be possible to have an ideal two person team conducting an SOC. At some work-sites, practical constraints will mean that the SOC is carried out by one person. In this instance the core principles of SOC will not change. In deciding the work activity to be covered in an SOC, the principle should be risk-based. The SOC should focus either on activities involving personal safety risks or on risks due to process hazards where significant defences (layers of protection) should be in place to prevent accidents. The 4Ps: Plant, People, Process and Performance are a useful checklist for thinking about what to look for in the observation itself.

Processing SOCs

The two key parts of an SOC are: (1) Observing the worksite, and engaging in a safety conversation, triggered by witnessing a good or bad practice. This part will conclude with action being taken, usually by the person doing the work. (2) Expanding the conversation to discuss the hidden risks, such as energy sources, process hazards and major accident risks. This part may uncover risks requiring action by the leader conducting the SOC. The SOC steps are: Preparation (who, what, when, where) Observations (triggers, energy sources, behaviours) Conversation (reinforce good practice, risk assessments style questions, coaching, agreement) Action (document in Traction) SOC conversations shall be recorded on the Tr@ction database Units should avoid using the Total Number of SOCs as a measure of success and should focus more on the quality and impact of SOCs. The highest authority at the site/offshore installation manager shall make sure that SOCs are performed and studied to identify trends conditions that leaders/supervisors should pay special attention to special improvement areas A range of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) may include: Action creation indicating that conversations are identifying risk and acting to reduce the risk Action closure indicating that actions are completed correctly and in a timely fashion Workforce feedback through questionnaires or safety committees Site coaching schemes effectiveness judged by conducting SOCs with local experts or coaches Observation of good practice proportion of total with targets to improve in particular areas Leaders should be motivated to participate in SOC through reinforcement, discussion of impact and by the example set by the supervisor. If numerical target are to be set, these should be assigned to the individual through annual objectives.

A review shall be carried out by HSSE annually to consider how we are using SOC to improve on our safety leadership and how SOC is enhancing our safety culture. This must include an assessment of how SOC is leading to a Attention: Paper copies of governing documents are uncontrolled. This copy is valid at time of printing only.

reduction in risk and how SOC is improving our safety performance. SOC information in Traction is a key source for carrying out such reviews. The conclusions and recommendations from this review shall be communicated to Management for further consideration and follow-up.

JUST CULTURE
Just Culture is a tool used for dealing with non-compliance with BP's safety standards and is to ensure that such breaches are handled in an objective and proper manner. The principles for Just Culture are: Safe job performance is a condition for employment Focus on guidance/positive recognition and enforcement of good safety behaviour and attitudes Breaches of safety standards, procedures and conditions for employment will have consequences The consequences depend on the seriousness, risk potential and any previous breaches Just culture is a management tool The first step is a conversation between the department manager and the person carrying out the activity to establish why the breach occurred and how to prevent recurrence. As a minimum, the conversation shall include knowledge of the expected standards and the correct procedures how the job was planned and carried out to what extent the supervisors were involved the seriousness and risk potential of the incident the involved persons' attitude to learning from mistakes and improving any previous breaches of expected standards Before taking any disciplinary action, the department manager (team leader) shall check that safety expectations and standards have been established, communicated and understood that procedures are in place (if relevant) the involved persons' skills how sufficient the planning and subsequent performance was, including identification and recognition of risks to what extent the supervisor/area authority was

Disciplinary action

4-POINT CHECK
The 4-Point Check is to be used as a last review of all work operation before start up. It is to ensure that everyone is familiar with the work permits, procedures and instructions before the work can commence. Job references such as WP, procedures and instruction number must be recorded on the risk assessment form. The 4-Point Check form is signed and documents that everyone involved has been sufficiently informed about how to carry out the work. The risk assessment form is to be kept at the work site together with, for instance, the Work Permit or together with the procedures/instructions for ongoing work. In those cases where e.g. a safe job analysis has been performed and everyone involved has taken part in a documented review and planned process, it is not neccessary to carry out this 4-Point Check in addition. In cases where you do not use the work permit a 4 point check could be used.
