Identification and Elimination of High Potentials - Lessons Learned

Andy Young Parker Drilling

Parker Drilling are committed to safe operations. This presentation shares the progression of the industry safety culture to highlight that they are more proactive rather than reactive and systematic. The target is always zero incidents, Parker are committed to continual improvement where every employee is charged with capturing and sharing knowledge gained from daily challenges and successes. The statistics of HIPOs and their causes from Parker were shown and HiPOs were 60% of the dropped object incidents. An example of a case study on Hazard Identification was shown whereby Staff conducted a drops inspection and identified 4 unsafe conditions. A senior manager then conducted validation inspection and defined a further 53 unsafe conditions.  

Parker hope that by sharing lessons learned and greater cooperation this will benefit the industry and look forward to networking with the attendees in the region.
