HSE-MS set up for a new organization in the Offshore Oil & Gas Industry

The participation of a new Rosetti’s Nigerian subsidiary in a new business project for the most important Oil Company in Nigeria, requires the setting of a new HSE Management System (HSE-MS), which considers Nigerian legal requirements, different type of hazards, risks and opportunities as well to the employment of local personnel. The purpose of this thesis is to identify, define and stablish the main requirements to consider in a new country when a new HSE-MS for an organization, which provides Engineering, Procurement and Construction services to the Offshore Oil & Gas Industry as Rosetti Marino Group, must to be implemented. This involves the identification of external and internal factors at specific conditions for understanding the context and needs of the HSE-MS organization to identify additional hazards and risks that under different conditions would be irrelevant or even not considered. For that purpose, in this work are considered the International Standards ISO 45001 “Occupational health and safety management system” and ISO 14001 “Environmental management systems”, as well to IOGP Standards, contractual requirements and previously experience of Rosetti Marino in other countries in this field. The set-up of the HSE-MS for three different countries (Kazakhstan, Mexico and Nigeria), will be compared to have a better understanding on how these internal and external factors could affect and change the planning and implementation of it. In the case of Kazakhstan, it will be described the HSE-MS that is already implemented at Kazakhstan Caspian Offshore Industries LLP (KCOI), which is another Subsidiary of Rosetti’s Group. This to compare it with the ones to be implemented at Nigeria and the hypothetical case of Mexico.
