Inour efforts toenhanceoccupational safety
atDolphinEnergy,we consistently trainour
workforce toensure competency in thework they
do, andgiveour employees and contractors the
authorityand responsibility to stopwork if they
believe conditions areunsafe.
In2015,we conductedaSafetyCultureSurvey
(SCS) toobtainabetter understandingof howwe
candevelopaneven stronger safety-firstmindset.
The resultsprovideguidance formonitoring the
status andprogressof our safety culture.
TheSafetyCultureSurveyachieveda56% response
rate, andoverall theSCSfindingswerepositive.
Themainareasof strengthwere ‘teamsupport for
safety’, ‘environment’, ‘amountandqualityof safety
training’, and ‘emergency readiness’.
Wehave successfullyupdatedour Permit to
Work (PTW) system toa single robust electronic
PTW system that further enhances thecontrol
andmonitoringof all our operations. Thenew
e-PTW system includes functionalities that
allow requesting, reviewing, approving and
documentingPermits toWork for tasks that
are carriedout by frontlineworkers.
At theendof 2015,we further enhancedour
WorkplaceActivitiesTargetingControl ofHazards
(WATCH) programbybringing it online. Now
