The International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP) 423 (HSE management guidelines for working together in a contract environment) guideline has long been the benchmark against which oil and gas companies measure improving safety performance. Although a highly useful and sensible set of HSE good practices, there is no doubt that working to the guidelines in fragmented, remote, and high-risk, global oil and gas environments is demanding for even the most experienced HSE professional.
But there is an easier way. And it comes in the form of Achilles newly enhanced IOGP Compliance Module. The Achilles IOGP module has gained popularity in recent years due to its comprehensive alignment to every aspect of the IOGP guidelines and its ability to support energy companies at a global (rather than a national) level.
With its tiered approach to supplier management based on product and service categories (low risk through to high risk), supplier self-assessment and supplier and sub-contractor auditing, it provides a holistic solution that is both efficient and cost effective. With the latest module enhancements, it’s now a great opportunity for companies that are still using local or less comprehensive solutions to take a fresh look.
In this article we look at the enhancements in this latest IOGP Compliance module release. To book a no obligation demo, get in touch by completing the form below.
Holistic evaluation
The Achilles IOGP Compliance module enables oil and gas companies to take a holistic risk-based approach to contractor management. It includes independent contractor data validation, desktop and on-site auditing on HSE guidelines and standards—suitable for product categories classified as high risk by IOGP. It also supports networking between parties, incident reporting, emergency preparedness, training, and regulatory compliance.
Enhanced IOGP contractor self-assessment module
The IOGP module now includes an enhanced IOGP contractor self-assessment questionnaire that is fully aligned with the IOGP 423 Guidelines. The questionnaire takes contracting organisations through the process necessary to evaluate and measure their own HSE management systems, practices, and performance. It also simultaneously provides a full set of supplier and contractor data to enable oil and gas buying organisations to track and measure supply chain performance across the full set of IOGP 423 HSE categories.
Continuous improvement
Oil and Gas companies can now easily and efficiently benchmark suppliers’ and contractors’ alignment with IOGP requirements through the Achilles IOGP Score (out of 260 points). These scores and dashboards allow businesses in the Oil and Gas sector to quickly identify risks and improvement opportunities, and to measure themselves and others against industry-wide agreed criteria.
Easier Reporting
Oil and Gas companies can now more easily use Achilles reports to disclose information to stakeholders inside and outside the MyAchilles platform through Achilles Analytics, driving transparency, improvement, and most importantly, actionable insights to enhance and improve safety performance.
Join the Achilles Global Energy Network for improved HSE management
The IOGP Compliance Module is available via The Achilles Global Energy Network in the MyAchilles platform which connects major energy buyers with suppliers, enabling businesses to clearly showcase their compliance with a wide range of specific regulatory requirements and standards such as NORSOK S006 and IOGP.
Starting from a fast-track questionnaire on key company information and the products and services that your company offers, the Achilles Energy Network allows businesses to demonstrate they meet the requirements of current and potential buying organisations, and most specifically the IOGP guidelines, making it easier to achieve HSE standards and driving continuous improvement.
