Basic Safety Program

The Basic Safety Program manual will help you either develop a simple and effective safety program from scratch or add to your existing program. The final result will be a program that meets regulatory requirements, is supported by the upstream petroleum industry and suits the specific needs of your company. This program will also show you how to make safety a part of daily operations, and give you valuable management tools to make your company run more efficiently overall. This program was developed for the Canadian petroleum industry and is fully endorsed by Enform.

The Basic Safety Program is suited to all types of upstream petroleum industry companies, regardless of their size. These companies may:

• work in an area within the upstream petroleum industry
• be contractors, service companies, non-operating companies or operating companies
• operate field production facilities
• use contracted field supervisors (i.e., consultants) when acting as an operating company for drilling, completions, workovers, etc.

This Basic Safety Program can be used by anyone charged with improving company safety performance. This could be a manager, a safety supervisor or any other employee.
