How do you ensure that operational processes are managed safely and visible across your assets?

Efficient handovers, be they shift or trip based, are critical to operational visibility of all events affecting an asset.

The ability to capture action and task management data allows for the detailed recording of an action and corresponding tasks with scheduling and performing competency.

The importance of communicating with all staff and contractors as to changes in process, policy or standards can be audited and measured in terms of understanding and compliance.

The adoption of rigorous and streamlined ORA practises is a key focus for process operators especially so at the present time with increased pressure on efficiency of operational cost and safety.

The tracking and management of the approval of asset changes through single point reference and collaboration with verification and asset integrity at the fore of decision making.

Th ability to collect, analyse and visual map hazards around an asset including asbestos, water hygiene and fire is common to most assets. The ability to capture other hazards such as noise, lead, benzene, mercury, damp/mould and RAAC support safety operations around an asset.

Given the variety of environments and industries in which eLogbook can be used, the collection, sampling and testing of objects can be recorded within eLogbook to assure the accuracy of observations and assumptions made around an asset.

With globally ageing assets which are being asked to reliabily work harder and longer, it is critical that failures are analysed and understood to prolong the life of an asset or equipment.

Where appropriate processes may be overridden in a manner that is compliant with accepted procedures and that do not exceed safety parameters for either equipment or asset integrity.

When working in environments that process liquids or gases, it is important to record all movement of valves from locked open to locked closed and have these movements audited and approved to ensure asset safety and integrity.

The issuing and management of a permit ensures that an area of an asset where people may be working is safe and secure as well as being controlled by all interested parties as to when the permit has been completed and the area is safe to come back into operational use.
