Getting everyone home safe every day<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

After a challenging start to the year, the safety performance of TotalEnergies EP Denmark slightly started to improve as the year progressed despite a high amount of hours worked under the final stages of the Tyra Redevelopment Project. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During 2023, various initiatives were launched to address the increase in workforce and influx of new contractors as part of the Tyra project. Since a portion of the employees were less experienced in safety protocols, special attention was given to addressing this gap. This involved raising safety awareness during simultaneous operations and enhancing understanding of the increased safety requirements when transitioning from a shut-in platform to an operational platform with flammable substances and other new risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An example of one of focus areas in 2023 is the safety observation system. As part of our safety initiatives to protect our people, daily operations, and assets, we utilize observation cards. Our employees at both onshore and offshore sites can submit an observation card when they witness an unsafe act or condition, as well as when they observe positive safety behavior. This process allows us to enhance safety awareness in our day-to-day activities and to continuously learn from each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the observation cards submitted in 2023 was from a contractor\u2019s employee who was on Tyra East for the first time. He had noticed two signs detailing the site\u2019s escape routes pointing in opposite directions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the signs were aligned and the contractor had helped improve the safety on site so that if an emergency should occur, the escape routes were clearly displayed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cObservations vary hugely. It could be a tripping hazard, which you review and fix and then close. Some observations avoid a major risk in an ongoing job. Safety is dynamic so it\u2019s always evolving, and the observation cards are a key tool to prevent major incidents on our installations,\u201d explains Tony Saraiva, Operational Safety Manager at TotalEnergies EP Denmark.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Safety as a core value<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Safety is one of TotalEnergies\u2019 core values, a company-wide commitment to ensure that there are zero fatal accidents and that everyone comes home safe. The observation cards are merely a fraction of numerous measures that highlight the importance we place on safety here at TotalEnergies. It\u2019s a clear demonstration of how safety is a daily priority, approached with dedication and careful attention by every member of our team. Safety is not just a procedure to follow but a deeply ingrained mindset that guides our actions and ensures the well-being of everyone in our company.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Recognizing good safety behavior<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Recognition is one of the keys to achieving the highest possible level of safety performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our contractors received a Monthly Safety Recognition Award for raising the issue of the confusing signs. These awards are another way in which TotalEnergies EP Denmark raises awareness of safety and addresses potential issues before they can become a problem. Anyone \u2013 offshore or onshore, employee or, contractor and guest \u2013 is expected to follow our procedures and speak up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While TotalEnergies EP Denmark recorded a slight downward trend of total recordable injuries in 2023, there is always more that can and needs to be done to ensure everyone returns home safely every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had five lost time incidents in 2023 and that\u2019s five too many. I\u2019m satisfied with our operations but we\u2019re still far from our objectives. We can still improve a lot on our safety performance,\u201d Saraiva says.<\/p>\n\n\n
