AbstractCompany and contractor have a joint commitment to health risk management stated in health polices and should develop a health management system which needs to be based on a full and careful appraisal of the health hazards to which personnel will be exposed.One of these health hazards is the climate in which people live and work. A set of guidelines on cold has been prepared for member companies of the Exploration and Production Forum. Future guidelines are in preparation concerning work in hot climates.Work in the cold poses a certain number of acute daily problems. As long as the employee is in a protected environment (base, housing, camp), the risk is minimal. However, as soon as he or she steps out into the extreme cold, he or she is exposed to a large number of potential problems.These guidelines, which target line management as well as the company health professionals, aim at preventing accidents, illness and loss of life by providing useful information.It is important to remember that these guidelines are primarily aimed at the protection and maintenance of health and that, in certain situations, additional measures may be required to ensure effective and efficient performance.Staying healthy in the cold for days and weeks is possible, providing one is physically and mentally prepared and has access to the correct equipment. However, one's condition is also dependant on the application of sensible precautions based on knowledge of the local conditions and of personal limitations.

AbstractA directory of data for usc in risk assessments has frccn developed by the Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) Subcommittcc of The Oil Industry International Exploration and Production Forum (E&P Forum). The directory provides readily available benchmark data and references for common Incidents analyred in upstream production operations.The directory is intended tor estimating screening level and order of magnitude incident frequencies.Its primary uses are for reviewing cx[crnal risk assessments and evaluating risk in QRAs and qualitative assessments. The project was carried out as a QRA Subuommiuec activity to take advantage of [he pooling of knowledge and expertise between participants rcprcscnting various major E&P companies and other E&P Forum members. Sources for the data include information a}a]lablc to [hc public and industry such as may bc oblained from industry projects and the literature. Typical incidents analyzed in E&P risk assessments were identified and divided Into four major categories: accident data, event data, safety syslcms and vulncrahili[ics. Twenty six intiividual dalashccts were developed. Each datasheet contains incident frequency, population and causal data, along with a discussirm of the data sources, range, availability and application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
