What five key principles should be employed to ensure a safe shift handover.
Shift hand-over should be:
High priority, conducted face-to-face

Carried out using verbal and written commands
Based on the analysis of the information needs of the oncoming shift staff
Given as much time as necessary
Identify the factors to be considered when assessing the health and safety competence of a contractor
There are many factors that have to be considered when assessing the health and safety competence of a contractor.
One important factor is the contractor’s experience and training, both in the type of oil and gas process that they will be working on and offshore safety requirements.
Whether the contractor has a health and safety policy in place, supported by the necessary organisation and arrangements, and the quality and extent of risk assessments carried out are also significant points to look for.
The contractor’s recent health and safety performance (including any accident history) should be reviewed, as well as establishing whether any enforcement action has been taken against the contractor.
Evidence should be requested of the availability of suitable, up-to-date method statements; arrangements to monitor health and safety and carry out site inspections; qualifications; training records and skills cards carried by workers; and membership of professional bodies or trade associations.
Proof of the contractor having employer’s liability and public liability insurance is an important factor, and references should be available from previous clients.
Finally, it is important to take into consideration arrangements for the selection and appraisal of any subcontractors and how liaison with the contractor is going to take place.
