Our goal is to ensure that the HSE excellence at Shiv-Vani remains a continuous process so that we may provide our customers with best industry performances. The HSE objectives for each E&P solution are designed to eliminate lost time accidents and minimize environmental impacts. Our objectives include

• Ensuring employee protection against occupational risks, accidents, health hazards and dangerous situations.
• Establishing a work environment that conforms to world-class health & safety standards.
• Integrating safety and health measures at every level - be it rig design, operational activities or maintenance.
• Setting up Major Hazards Registers at all units.
• Implementation of OISD (Oil Industry Safety Directorate) standards (designing and operations) at all units as per the Petroleum (Amendment) Rules, 2005.
• Providing adequate training on Health, Safety and Environmental responsibilities, ensuring high training standards and building overall awareness.
• Encouraging active employee participation for enhancing work conditions and environment management.

At Shiv-Vani, we are fully aware that Health, Safety and Environmental protection remain the responsibility of every individual and all our employees work dedicatedly towards this goal. The company has set up an effective HSE Management System that closely follows the ISO 9000 standards and adheres to the regulations & guidelines of such globally acclaimed organisations as the IADC. Based on reports and reviews, comprehensive HSE plans are chalked out every month at the top management level and forwarded to all units/project sites for immediate implementation. The company has further strengthened its HSE policy by introducing a meticulous and well-integrated PTW System to regulate and monitor potentially hazardous activities. In order to ensure adequate means for employee & environmental safety, Shiv-Vani focuses on the following activities

Risk Management

- Identifying & evaluating HSE risks and implementing effective methods for risk reduction.

Safety Planning

- Planning and preparing safe working procedures so that measures can be taken immediately to implement necessary changes and ensure emergency preparedness.

Implementation & Monitoring

- Setting up performance indicators, implementing corrective actions and ensuring stringent monitoring to measure HSE effectiveness.

Audits & Reviews

- Inspection and assessment of system performance as per the annual HSE.plan.

HSE Manual/Handbook

- Providing each Shiv-Vani team member with an HSE manual/handbook (H.S.E. for All) - a concise, comprehensive and structured description of our HSE Management System. The personnel handbook specifies each individual's responsibility for sound safety and environmental management, thus enabling the field staff to comply with best possible safety practices and procedures.

Shiv-Vani has successfully conducted a series of Hazard Awareness Programmes at all project sites to help minimise health, safety and environmental concerns and decrease regulatory compliance costs. Our priorities include enhancing HSE commitment and reducing risk levels in order to build a good safety culture within the organisation. Effective input from Client's Company Man and PE's also helps ensure that international standard safety norms are developed, implemented and followed without the least deviation. To encourage active participation, thorough comprehension and fail proof practice of impeccable safety rules, we have also introduced inspirational awards such as Safe Man of the Month and Best STOP Observer of the Month for each project location.

The company employs Safety Training Observation Programmes (STOP) as the primary accident prevention tool. We promote thorough training and impeccable risk management processes to help improve safety & security and reduce waste & emissions. As a result, our employees are able to identify worksite hazards even better and meet challenges proactively - leading to lesser incidents reporting and overall decline in the injury rate for employees on mobile and permanent installations. There has been a significant reduction in TRC's (total recordable cases including restricted work cases, medical treatment cases, LTI's and other high severity personal injury incidents) and subsequent improvement in LTIF (lost time injury frequency).

In a bid to develop a more objective and measurable basis for incidents management, the organisation has developed a strong and effective Incidents Reporting Structure so that all incidents may be reported round the clock. Detailed investigations of all incidents are carried out without any delay and prompt corrective actions are taken to avoid similar occurrences. Our wide experience and cutting-edge expertise have also taught us that hazards are highly avoidable and zero incidents, along with enhanced environment management, will propel us to peak performance.
