Behavioural Based Safety (BBS) History

Ensco adopted the DuPont STOP program in 1998
Document all intervention conversations and audits
using STOP Cards
Performance was measured (and rewarded) on the
basis of numbers and quotas
Benefits:
Easy to monitor participation and performance (tangible
output, STOP cards in hand)

BBS History (cont.)

We ended up with STOP card quotas producing a high
number of cards but they:
Did not ensure that crucial intervention conversations
were being held
Much time spent with Rig Managers and OIMs discussing
cards from dubious sources solving problems that may
not have existed
Interventions and safety discussions (which are at the core
of the STOP system) were pushed to the fringes of
information flow being generated by the system

BBS History (cont.)

Corporate SHE Audit Team first raised issue of
inconsistency in 2006.
In 2007 Ensco commissioned DuPont to assess the
effectiveness of the STOP system
Concluded that the initial benefits were outweighed
by the flaws of the system as currently implemented:

They told us we had modified the program to the

point it was no longer STOP (not unusual in their
experience)
They recommended moving onto the latest version
of STOP For Supervision (SFS)

Behavior, not conditions

BBS History (cont.)

In December 2008 Ensco Executive management made the
commitment to continue with STOP for Supervision as
our Behavioral Modification Safety Program.
Decision to follow the program exactly as DuPont
recommends
Focus on fostering one on one conversations about
work in progress (no cards written on these)
Instead of STOP Audits, we now conduct formal
STOP Safety Observations, which are documented
using an Observation Checklist

BBS History (cont.)

Two Toolpushers on each rig received special training to
facilitate the implementation on their rigs.
Cascade process started in early 2010 for all shore based
operations management and rig supervisors. All five units
and the refresher module were completed by end of 2010.
Trend data is being collected from the Observation
Checklist using the DuPont DataPro web-based data
base.

Question 13: What are you doing differently

as a result of STOPTM?
Believing
that all
accidents
can be
prevented.

Increased
awareness
of hazards
Looking at
more job
set-ups

Trying
harder to
set a good
example

Big picture
thinking

Taking time
for formal
observations

commitment
to have a
discussion.

Responders behavior has changed as a result of STOP. Key examples are

increase awareness of hazards, concentrating more on people than tasks,
spending more time talking with people, asking more questions, and using
STOP techniques.

Question 17: What changes, if any, have you

seen in your employees attitudes toward safety
since the SFS implementation?

Out of 72 responses, no negative responses.

A few no change responses

Great majority are seeing changes such as:

Seeing supervisors believe in the program
Positivity
Paying more attention to what they are doing
More willingness to talk openly

Development of better safety leaders

Less fear.

Question 18b: If not, what is their major

concern? (Do clients support the SFS process as
specified by DuPont?)

Mixture of responses to the level of support for SFS

which DuPont recommends and ENSCO is using.

Generally, the clients believe in an O/I system, but the

industry standard is more quantity-driven than qualitydriven.

They are not yet convinced that leading indicators will have as
good an impact as quantity.

ENSCO has the opportunity to lead the industry to a new level

of safety performance.

Question 19

Yes 27

No 45

Several systems are in place, mostly at rig level, to follow up on concerns

expressed in formal observations. Synergi, STOP DataPro, rig action
tracking base, RATD, excel, CAT list, mgmt calls/meetings were cited. No
concerns were expressed about a lack of follow up.

Data Collection & DataPro

STOP applied as DuPont recommends better

results and ability to change behaviour
Previous STOP cards limited data
Checklists numerous observations/card (20+);
observe a team of people
Additional data allows better conclusions and better
identification and management of issues
DataPro software provides data collection and
classification capabilities we did not previously have
However, further from rig, less meaningful the data
