Working Environment

Experience show that a high level of safety and working environment reduces cost and increases efficiency and competitiveness. Authority regulations contain requirements to systematic working environment evaluations and analyses during planning of new as well as for existing work places. Scandpower has extensive experience in performing working environment and MTO analyses and assistance both in design and operation for all kinds of facilities.

Working Environment during Design and Construction Phases

Are all relevant working environment requirements considered systematically during the design and fabrication phases of your project? Scandpower can help you ensure that working environment needs are taken care of during all project phases. Our services include working environment management, establishing working environment programs and plans and performing working environment analyses, reviews and verifications. Recognised industry standards are used as basis for such assignments.

Working Environment in the Operation Phase

Scandpower performs analyses and mapping (surveying) of the working environment during operational phases of a facility. The mapping evaluates biological, chemical, ergonomic, physical and psycho-social factors in the workplace and compare the results against established occupational health policies, standards and procedures. The goal is to prevent and control foreseeable workplace hazards through a systematic identification and evaluation process.

Manning level and crew competence are also important factors for safety, working environment and cost of operations. Scandpower can assist to obtain the most optimal solutions.

Risk Assessments and Analyses to Prevent Occupational Injuries and Diseases

Risk analyses are performed to assess the risk for occupational injuries and diseases (exposure hazards) in order to implement specific remedial actions when necessary. Hazard identification and risk assessments for actual work operations are performed in close co-operation with supervisors and operators. Remedial actions are recommended for all main risk events.

Man, Technique and Organisation (MTO)

Industry has increased its attention on methods and strategies that address the combination and influence of human, technical and organisational factors. The MTO-methodology visualises what can go wrong during a work process, what kind of deviations that might occur, and describes the established barriers. MTO-methodology can be used in all phases of a project, from design to operation and is also a powerful method during incident and accident investigation.

CRIOP

CRIOP (Crisis Intervention in Offshore Production) is a method for systematic analysis of the interfaces between control room operators, process instrumentation and other personnel at the facility during accidental situations. CRIOP analysis can provide effective interfaces, a better working environment in the control room, reduced risk for errors and increased productivity.
