Incidents: What to do in the first hour?

First, contact the vessel/ project.

Then address the following points:

  • Is the risk removed?
  • Is the spill contained?
  • Is the damage / injury taken care of?
  • Is the authority / captain / vessel SHEQ informed?
  • Request a safety card to be submitted.

What next?

Use Incident Classification to determine severity.

Then, follow up on procedures and start communications with relevant stakeholders.
