10.30 Interactive Session: How Do We as Companies Most Effectively Address the Mental Health Challenge?
Moderators: Lars Nydahl Jorgensen, Regional Director Europe, IADC & Kimberley Armstrong, QHSE Manager, Valaris
In recent years, mental health issues have been of increasing concern across geographies and across industries. Partly owing to the nature of many of the operations in our industry (remote, dangerous, away from family etc.), we have seen alarming statistics and what some call a mental health crisis. Many companies do their utmost to fight the crisis or mitigate the effects of it, and many organisations build expertise and develop recommendations for how to handle the situation. One of these, is the IADC North Sea’s Mental Health and Well-being Charter, which calls for industry-wide cultural change, providing a framework that organisations can adopt and a joined-up approach based on best practices and lessons learned. Overall, this session sets out to share companies’ insights and experiences to inspire others.

Panelists:

• Simon Lee Maryan PhD, Psychologist
• Heilwine A.H.M. Bakker, Director, Balans en Impuls, in collaboration with MORE Medical
• Heather Beach, Founder, Healthy Work Company
• Thomas Sullivan, Senior Field Compliance Coordinator, Saudi Aramco
• Graeme Christie, QHSE Manager Europe-Africa, Borr Drilling

13.30 Interactive Session: Learning from Normal Work
Moderators: Mariann Jorgensen, HSE Manager North Sea & Australia, Noble Corporation & Andrew Lambert, Head of Safety, Security and Sustainability for Global Drilling and Wells, Equinor
Learning from normal work involves engaging employees at all levels of the organization in the process of identifying and implementing improvements. By involving employees in the process and considering human factors such as workload, communication, and decision-making, organizations can gain a better understanding of how work is actually performed and identify areas for improvement that take into account the realities of the workplace. This approach can help to build trust, collaboration, and a culture of safety that prioritizes the well-being of employees. Recognizing the significance of learning from both routine tasks and incidents is vital, particularly when shifting our mindset from safety defined by the absence of incidents to safety understood as the presence of capacity and controls. Learning from normal work is imperative for fostering a proactive approach to continuous improvement and safety enhancement.

Panelists:

• Thomas Koester, Human Factors Specialist, Noble Corporation
• Marcin Nazaruk, Director, Psychology Limited
• Kristian Gould, Leading Advisor Human Factors and Organizational Safety, Equinor
• Lamberto Nonno, Global HSE Director, Baker Hughes

Moderator: Erik Alfred Mokal Henriksen, Vice President – Director Drilling, Floating Wind and Aquaculture, DNV AS
In the drilling industry we usually differentiate between technical barriers and human barriers in order to obtain a safe and safe operation. The technical barriers do usually get high attention from owners, operators and regulators. Though, to have a really safe operation, the human barrier is just as important. How personnel is trained and educated to behave correctly in a potential dangerous situation is crucial. Are these aspects really addressed to the extent needed, and what measures are taken to ensure that we are doing the right things?

Heat Stress Mitigation and Challenges in Onshore Drilling Rigs Operation: Abdelhak Saidi, HSSE Supervisor, Horizon Petroleum Services
Due to the nature of our hot weather environment, we must endure extreme heat for extended periods during daily operations on the drilling site, which can result in injuries and illnesses for outdoor workers at the workplace. Employers have a responsibility to provide the necessary resources for effective control and management in order to mitigate risks related to heat stress, which involves combining all necessary safety measures and considering its challenges that can be faced.

The Elimination of Fluid Spills to the Ocean via Slip-Joint Packer Failure with Packer Management Technology: Craig Martin, Global Business Development Manager – Archer Surface Solutions
On floating drill ships, semi-submersible rigs and platforms, slip joint packers are used to seal drilling fluid within the telescopic riser. These elastomer seals are subject to wear through the action of ocean swell and tide – and can eventually leak. If seal failure/leak is undetected, it can result in drilling/circulating fluids spillage to the ocean. We have developed Packer Management technology which eliminates this risk for the operator, and protects the environment.
