Risk Management
The objective is to consider the design and operating effectiveness of the risk management activities identified in the table below.
| Risk Area | Local Manifestation of Risk | Risk Management Activity |
| Management of operations. | Failure to manage well control leading to a loss of well fluids, potential fire, explosion and environmental damage. | Well control management process.

| Maintenance. | Failure of rig equipment leading to, potential injury to personnel, damage to plant or the environment and unproductive time. | Rig maintenance and inspection programme. |
| Risk Management. | Failure to manage HSE on the rig leading to event escalation, potential injury to personnel and damage to plant or the environment. | Rig safety management system. |
| Training and Assessment. | Failure to provide trained and competent personnel to operate the rig leading to event escalation, potential injury to personnel, damage to plant or the environment and unproductive time. | Training and competency assessment processes and their status for all core disciplines. |
| Marine Integrity. | Loss of marine integrity leading to loss of stability, loss of position or collision. | Maintenance of marine systems and marine operations processes in line with applicable requirements and industry standards. |
Methodology
The risk management activities will be considered through a combination of the following;
- Verify and assess Technical Condition, Operations and Performance by crew.
- Document reviews.
- Verify functionality and capability of key systems.
Performance will be evaluated against the relevant Operator, Drilling contractor and industry standards applicable for the specific region.
