Petroleum and natural gas industries - Offshore production installations - Requirements and guidelines for emergency response (ISO 15544:2000, including Amd 1:2009)

This International Standard describes objectives, functional requirements and guidelines for emergency response (ER) measures on installations used for the development of offshore hydrocarbon resources. It is applicable to fixed offshore structures or floating production, storage and off-take systems.

Erdöl- und Erdgasindustrie - Offshore-Produktionsanlagen - Anforderungen und Richtlinien für Notfallmaßnahmen (ISO 15544:2000 + Amd 1:2009)

Diese Internationale Norm beschreibt Ziele, funktionale Anforderungen und Richtlinien für Notfallmaßnahmen
auf Offshore-Anlagen, die der Erschließung von Kohlenwasserstofflagerstätten dienen. Die Norm ist auf
feststehende Offshore-Konstruktionen oder auf schwimmende Förder-, Speicher- und Übergabesysteme
anwendbar.
ANMERKUNG Für mobile Offshore-Anlagen sind die Notfallpläne, die nach den Anforderungen und Empfehlungen der
internationalen Seeschifffahrtsorganisation (International Maritime Organization, IMO) erstellt wurden, im Allgemeinen für
den Normalbetrieb einer unabhängigen Anlage an den meisten Standorten ausreichend. Die folgenden Aspekte der
Notfallplanung werden im Allgemeinen von der IMO nicht angesprochen; sie sollten besonders betrachtet werden:
⎯ Bereichsevakuierung, z. B. vorbeugende Evakuierung in Bereichen mit tropischen Wirbelstürmen;
⎯ Kombinierter Betrieb, für die ein integriertes Befehls- und Notfall-System entwickelt werden sollte;
⎯ Arbeiten unter arktischen Bedingungen;
⎯ unkontrollierter Zufluss von einem Bohrloch.

Industries du pétrole et du gaz naturel - Installations de production en mer - Exigences et lignes directrices pour les interventions d'urgence (ISO 15544:2000, y compris Amd 1:2009)

La présente Norme internationale décrit les objectifs, les exigences fonctionnelles et les lignes directrices en
matière de mesures d'intervention d'urgence pour les installations utilisées pour le développement des ressources
d'hydrocarbures en mer. De telles installations peuvent être des structures en mer fixes ou des systèmes flottants
de production, de stockage et d'enlèvement.
NOTE Pour les unités en mer mobiles, les plans d'intervention d'urgence élaborés conformément aux exigences et
recommandations de l'International Maritime Organisation (IMO) sont généralement appropriés pour l'exploitation normale, et
indépendante de l'unité pour la plupart des lieux. Les aspects suivants de la planification d'intervention d'urgence ne sont
généralement pas traités par l'IMO, il convient par conséquent de leur prêter une attention particulière:
_ l'évacuation d'une zone, par exemple l'évacuation préventive dans des zones sujettes à des cyclones tropicaux;
_ les activités simultanées pour lesquelles il convient de développer un système d'intervention d'urgence et de
commandement intégré;
_ les opérations en zones arctiques; et
_ le débit incontrôlé d'un puits.

Introduction
The successful development of the arrangements required to promote safety and environmental protection during
the recovery of hydrocarbon resources requires a structured approach to be applied to the identification and
assessment of the hazards which may be present during the various phases in the lifecycle of an offshore
installation. These principles also apply to the development of the strategy, arrangements and procedures required
to respond to emergencies. An understanding of the hazards can be achieved by the application of ISO 17776 [4],
which gives guidelines for the processes of hazard identification and assessment for the offshore industry.
The content in this International Standard on escape, refuge, evacuation and rescue is consistent with the content
of ISO 13702 [1] but addresses in more detail how these aspects are built into development of emergency
response measures.
This International Standard has been prepared primarily to assist in the development of new installations, and as
such it may not be appropriate to apply some of the requirements to existing installations. Retrospective application
of this International Standard should only be undertaken where it is reasonable to do so. During the planning of a
major change to an installation there may be more opportunity to implement the requirements, and a careful review
of this International Standard should be undertaken to determine those clauses which can be utilized in the change.
This International Standard is based on an approach where the selection of measures for emergency response is
determined by an evaluation of hazards on the offshore installation. The methodologies employed in this
assessment and the resultant recommendations will differ depending on the complexity of the production process
and facilities, type of facility (i.e. open or enclosed), manning levels, and the environmental conditions associated
with the area of operation.
The verbal form “shall” indicates provisions that are mandatory and “should” indicates provisions to be considered.
Users of this International Standard should note that, while observing its requirements, they should at the same
time ensure compliance with such statutory requirements, rules and regulations as may be applicable to the
individual offshore installation concerned.
The principal objectives of this International Standard are to describe both the approach to be used and important
considerations in determining the emergency response measures that are required on an offshore installation in
order to:
� assure the safety of all personnel;
� minimize impact on the environment;
� minimize impact on assets and operations.
The technical guidance in clauses 4 to 13 of this International Standard is arranged as follows:
Objectives identify the goals to be achieved by the emergency response measures being described.
Functional requirements represent the minimum conditions which shall be satisfied to meet the stated objectives.
The functional requirements are performance-orientated measures and, as such, should be applicable to the
variety of offshore installations utilized for the development of hydrocarbon resources throughout the world.
Guidelines describe recognized practices which should be considered in developing the measures for emergency
response. The guidelines are limited to principal elements and are intended to provide specific guidance which, due
to the wide variety of offshore operating environments, may in some circumstances not be applicable.

should be considered in conjunction with statutory requirements, industry standards and individual company
philosophy, to determine the particular measures that are necessary for emergency response.

3 Framework for emergency response
Effective management systems are required to address the health and safety aspects of the activities undertaken
1)
by all companies associated with the offshore recovery of hydrocarbons . These management systems should be
applied to all stages in the life cycle of an installation and to all related activities. Such a management system,
which has been developed for environmental issues, is described in ISO 14001 [2] and the principles contained
therein can also be applied to issues relating to health and safety.
One key element of effective management systems is a systematic process of identification of hazards, followed by
evaluation and risk management. Risk reduction is an important component of risk management, and the selection
of risk reduction measures will predominantly entail the use of sound engineering judgement. However, such
judgements may need to be supplemented by recognition of the particular circumstances which may require
variation to past practices and previously applied codes and standards. In certain circumstances, risk assessment
may be able to provide useful input to the decision-making process providing that the operator has established
criteria for this purpose. Risk reduction measures should include those to prevent incidents (i.e. reducing the
probability of occurrence), to control incidents (i.e. limit the extent and duration of a hazardous event) and to
mitigate the effects (i.e. reducing the consequences). Preventative measures such as using inherently safer
designs and ensuring asset integrity should be emphasized wherever practicable. Measures to recover from
incidents should be provided based on the evaluation and should be developed taking into account possible
failures of the control and mitigation measures. Based on the results of the evaluation, detailed health, safety and
environmental objectives and functional requirements should be set at appropriate levels.
The above is general and applies to all hazards and potentially hazardous events. ER should be treated in the
same manner, and ER measures should be provided based on an evaluation that takes into account possible
failures of the control and mitigation measures. It is these ER measures which, as an integrated system, provide
the appropriate response to an incident occurring on or near the installation.
The results of the evaluation process and the decisions taken with respect to the need for, and role of, any
measures required for ER should be fully recorded, in which case the record shall be available to those who
operate the installation and to those involved in any subsequent change to the installation. This record is the
emergency response strategy (ERS).
ISO 13702 introduced the concept of strategies but stated that such strategies do not have to be separately
documented, as the relevant information may be included with other HSE information for an installation or may be
contained in recognized codes and standards that are relevant to the operating location. Indeed there can be
significant overlap between strategies and other HSE information, so that combining this information into one
source is likely to assist the understanding by the people on the installation of how the various measures are
integrated.
The ERP should set out the operational and procedural requirements to be followed under the various emergency
scenarios that are relevant for a particular installation.
1) For example, operators should have an effective management system. Contractors should have either their own
management system or conduct their activities consistently with the operator's management system.

The resources that typically are involved in ER can be divided into three categories:
a) unit resources
Resources which are under the direction of the person in overall charge of the installation, and which are
immediately available. They include personnel and equipment, vessels and helicopters that have been
assigned ER duties.
b) area resources
Resources which are not under the direction of the person in overall charge of the installation, but which are
located in the same area. The resources are made available by a mutual aid or cooperation agreement, and
may include installations in the vicinity, supply vessels, other vessels and helicopters.
c) external resources
Resources which are not under the direction of the person in overall charge of the installation, and which are
not located in the area. Such resources may be the organization and resources of national and international
rescue services, as well as other resources which professional bodies or others may place at the disposal of
the field or installation manager. This may include aircraft, helicopters, coast guard and navy vessels, shore-
based personnel resources, regional or national oil pollution resources, the public health service and resources
