Teikoku oil Co. Drilling Department has tried to improve and transmit drilling and safety technique. Three methods such as “Standard operation procedure”, “Risk Assessment” and “Near miss accident map” are introduced in this paper.
“Standard operation procedure” is the record of the basic required knowledge for workers in the drilling department. Most of them have that knowledge already, but some of them do not have it. All of them can get above knowledge by reading the record, and this will protect them against accidents caused by human errors due to forgetting and misunderstandings.
“Risk Assessment” is used for finding hazards from each operation before having disaster.
“Near miss accident map” is the grouping of near miss accidents that were reported in the past. Drilling crew use the tool for foreseeing hazards in each operation, and a supervisor can tell hazards to drilling crew by using this tool.
