Audit Methodology for Environmental Safety in Offshore Systems: An Integrated Approach of Brazilian Regulatory Systems

Abstract:

This paper presents a methodology that will provide subsidies for offshore companies to perform an audit of their facilities optimized because it contemplates the current legislation requirements on environmental issues, risk management, quality, process safety, occupational safety and health worker. Along the auditing process, organizations are forced to deal with other concerns, such as man-hours used only for monitoring of audits, infrastructure for carrying out various audits, difficulty in developing, implementing and monitoring of action plans of nonconformities generated from several audits which are submitted throughout the year. A systematic audit optimized integrated will be a fundamental tool for internal management of companies in the offshore segment as to its legal and managerial aspects, which will greatly influence the foundation for decision making, as well as enable the identification of opportunities for improvement in the management of health, safety and environmental (HSE), development and implementation of processes and procedures, allowing a prior diagnosis of their facilities before the existing government audits which occur in facility life .
