The Grounds for HSE
A Good HSE Program Has Long Term Benefits for
the Company and Its Employees
Why Have a Good HSE Program?

Importance of Loss Prevention
The first duty of a business is to survive. The
guiding principle of business economics is not
the maximization of profits - it is the avoidance
of loss. Peter Drucker

Why QHSE programs?
Schlumberger Corporate Mission Statement
Our QHSE mission is to ensure that quality,
health, safety, security and environmental
considerations remain top priorities for
management and for all employees. Prevention of
accidental risk and loss from process failure
becomes a recognized, integral part of our
continuous improvement culture.

HSE Management
The Objective of QHSE is

• Loss Prevention

• Loss Prevention

7
The Cost is Substantial

• For every 1 of injury/Illness costs there is
• - 5 to 50 of damage costs
• 1 to 3 of miscellaneous uninsured costs
• A range of 6 to 53 times as much
• At 10 net an additional 1,000,000 of revenue is
  required to pay for a 100,000 accident.

8
Hidden High Cost of Accidents

• US Industrial Accidents 1995
• 6600 Fatalities
• 3,600,000 LT Injury / Illness
• 120,000,000 lost workdays
• Total Cost 119.4 Billion
• Cost per Fatality 790,000
• Cost per injury 28,000
• Total US Industrial Profit in 1995 was 450
  Billion
