Marine Operations
Marine Operations are in many cases complex and involves a large number of personnel often from different companies and organisations. There is a challenge to make these people work against a common goal and to ensure spread of sufficient information's in order for them to perform safe accomplishment of the operation.
Marine Operation HAZOP is a tool for verification of an acceptable safety level prior to execution of the operation. It is also appropriate to ensure that the involved personnel have the necessary understanding of the activities relevant for them and the operations in question.
Scandpower carries out Marine Operation Hazops in accordance with requirements in "DNV Recommended Practice for Risk Management in Marine- and Subsea Operations, DNV-RP-H101". In addition to aspects connected to organisation, schedule and emergencies/contingencies a list guideword list is used to ensure a systematic and equal process.

Through a discussion of the relevance of these guidewords the most critical aspect for marine operations will be covered. The outcome from the hazop session is a report describing the operation and the method and documents the revealed concerns and hazards. The list of recommendations with appurtenant due dates and responsibilities must be followed up and closed out by the project organization.
