Permit to Work
No work proceeds except under a permit issued by the installation operator and countersigned by our supervisor.
HSEQ & quality
All incidents are preventable. We operate on that assumption.
Health, safety, environment and quality are managed as one system rather than four departments, because on an industrial site they fail together.
Framework
What the framework governs
Our HSEQ framework applies to every engagement — our own premises, client facilities and sites we do not control. It governs risk assessment, permit to work, competence verification, incident reporting and investigation, contractor management, and the environmental impact of every operation.
Stop-work authority
Every person working for BlueHarbor retains the right and the duty to stop work they believe to be unsafe, regardless of the instructions of an operator or a client, and suffers no detriment for exercising it.
Site controls
Permit to work and simultaneous operations
These controls are the same ones referenced from Marine & Offshore Services; they are set here and applied identically wherever we work.
Simultaneous Operations
Where our work coincides with other activity, we satisfy ourselves that SIMOPS controls are in place before proceeding.
Competence verification
Qualification, certification and medical fitness are evidenced for the role and the location before anyone is mobilised.
Contractor management
The same framework applies to contractors working for us as to our own employees.
Quality assurance
Verified against the specification, not our convenience
Acceptance criteria, inspection and test plans and documentation requirements are agreed before work begins. Quality is verified against the specification agreed with the client, not against our own convenience.
Management system alignment
The Company’s management systems are being developed in alignment with recognised international standards for quality, environment, occupational health and safety, information security, anti-bribery and risk management. The Board keeps the alignment under review.
Zero appetite
Six categories in which we hold no appetite
- 01Loss of life or serious injury to any person
- 02Bribery, corruption or facilitation payments
- 03Breach of applicable sanctions
- 04Mobilisation of personnel to a site known or suspected to be unsafe
- 05Falsification of records, certificates or test results
- 06Breach of classification, certification or flag state requirements
Any such event escalates to the Board immediately and does not await the next ordinary meeting.
Trade testing
An assessor records what happened. An assessor cannot change what was required.
Practical testing is framed by BS EN ISO 9606-1:2017 and carried out against approved weld procedure specifications. Material, process, consumable and examination requirements are fixed by the procedure rather than set on the day. Where conditions depart from the procedure, the deviation is written into the record rather than quietly absorbed.
