HSE ABBREVIATIONS
Earthling: Earthling means connecting the dead part it
means the part which does not carry current under normal conditions to the
earth for example electrical equipment’s frames, enclosures, supports, etc.
Ecological: Ecological
features or patterns represent the composition and spatial attributes of
biodiversity, such as species abundance and richness, habitat heterogeneity,
and distribution. Patterns are often underpinned by ecological processes i.e.
that which structure ecosystems and contribute to ecosystem function.
EIA Environmental
Impact Assessment: Environmental impact assessment is the systematic
process of evaluating the environmental impacts of an activity, project, or
process on the environment of environmental impact assessment.
EIS Environmental
Impact Statement: Environmental
impact statement is the document prepared following an environmental impact
assessment. It is required for all projects, facilities, and operations where
there is potential for significant environmental impacts to occur. It
identifies significant environmental impacts and demonstrates how corrective
mitigation measures are introduced in the design process by using the Best
Available Techniques - to eliminate or minimize the impact of the environmental
impact statement.
Electric Arc: Electric Arc is the producing the intense heat
needed to melt metal in arc welding in a hot work job. The electric Arc is
formed across the gap between the actual work and an electrode stick, or wire
when the energized circuit and the electrode tip touch the workpiece and is
withdrawn, yet still within close contact with the electric Arc.
Electric Arc Welding: Electric Arc welding is a fusion welding
process that uses electricity to generate the heat required to melt the base
metal material.
Electrode: Electrode is the consumable, non-consumable rod,
or wire which conducts the current between the tip and the workpiece. The electrode
can also be designed to conduct the current while melting and supplying filler
metal to the joint.
Employee: Employee is the means an employee hired
directly under the sponsorship of the organization company including special
contract employees, Seconders In/Out, and manpower agency contract employees,
but excluding industrial shareholder seconders and service contract personnel.
Engulfment: The
Engulfment surrounding and effective capture of a person by a fluid e.g., liquid,
finely divided particulate substance that can be aspirated to cause death by
filling or plugging the respiratory system or that can exert enough force on
the body to cause death by strangulation, constriction, or crushing.
Environmental Aspect:
Environmental aspect element of the organization’s activities, products, or
services that can interact with the environment environmental aspects. A
significant environmental aspect is an environmental aspect that has or can
have a significant environmental impact element.
Environmental Audit: Environmental Audit independent, systematic,
and documented process of objectively obtaining and evaluating verifiable
evidence to ensure that environmental mitigation and monitoring commitments and
requirements are adequately implemented, and compliance with legal requirements
is achieved in the environmental audit.
Environmental Impact:
Environmental impact is any change to the environment
whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or partially resulting from an organization's
activities, products, or services from the construction projects.
Environmental Risk: Environmental
risk is a measure of the potential
threat to environmental conditions, which combines the probability that an
event may occur which may cause degradation of environmental conditions with
the severity of such an impact of environmental risk.
Ergonomics: Ergonomics is a scientific discipline
concerned with understanding the interactions among humans and other elements
of a system. Ergonomics is also a profession that applies theory, principles,
data, and methods to design to optimize human well-being and overall system
performance.
Ergonomics: Ergonomics
is the scientific discipline concerned
with understanding the interactions among humans and other elements of a
system. It is also a profession that applies theory, principles, data, and
methods to design to optimize human well-being and the overall system
performance of ergonomics.
ERP Emergency Response
Plan: Emergency response plan detailing the response requirements to
specific major accident scenarios and emergency preparedness arrangements of the
emergency response plan.
Event: Event is the unplanned or uncontrolled outcome of a business operation or
activity that has or could have contributed to an injury or physical damage or
environmental damage event.
Excavation: Excavation
is the cut, cavity, trench, or depression in the earth's surface formed by
earth removal irrespective of depth. It includes breaking into the ground
including drilling, cutting into floors, walls, or ceilings, and penetrating
areas with the presence of underground cables or pipes of excavation.
Exclusion Zone: The exclusion zone is a 500-meter radius
surrounding the Company's offshore facilities including platforms, offshore
terminals, and the vertical projection of subsea components and subsea
pipelines. This is analogous to a fence line around an onshore facility. The exclusion
zone is the 500 Meter exclusion zone as described in the Offshore Safety
Division of the UK Health & Safety Executive under section 22 of the
Petroleum Act 1987).
Eye Strain: Eye strain is some VDU users may
experience temporary visual fatigue leading to a range of symptoms such as
impaired visual performance e.g. blurred vision, red or sore eyes, and
headaches due to eye strain.
Fall Arrester: A
fall arrester is the automatic
lifeline device that acts by the resistance of movement to grab the lifeline if
a fall occurs at work at height.
Fall Clearance: Fall clearance is the minimum vertical
distance needed between the workers’ feet and a lower level this can be the
ground level, but also a lower working platform to prevent the worker from
hitting the lower level in the event of a fall from the work at height.
Fall Protection System:
A fall protection system is a system designed to protect personnel from the
risk of falls when working at heights.
Fatality: Fatality is a death resulting from an injury
or illness, regardless of the intervening time between the injury and death.
Fatigue & Stress:
Fatigue and stress is the state of feeling very tired, weary or sleepy
resulting from insufficient sleep, prolonged mental or physical work, or extended
periods of stress or anxiety. Fatigue and stress are furthermore, monotonous or
repetitive tasks and tasks placing stress on the musculoskeletal system can
intensify feelings of fatigue and stress.
Fire Watch: Fire
watch is the inherent hazards of the
worksite and cutting, welding, and allied processes, Ensures safe conditions
are maintained during the activities, Fire watch ensures to have
fire-extinguishing equipment readily available and shall have undergone proper
training to use it, Fire watch ensures familiarity with the facilities and
procedures for sounding an alarm in the event of a fire.
Firefighters: Firefighters
applied to this group are associated with Firehose handling and the Use of
mobile fire monitors, and fire hose branches of the firefighter.
First Aid: First
aid is any one-time treatment and subsequent observation of minor scratches,
cuts, burns, splinters, and so forth, which do not ordinarily require medical
care by a physician. First aid is a treatment and observation is considered
First Aid even though provided by a physician or registered professional
medical personnel.
First Aid Case: First aid case is any work-related injury or
illness that does not involve lost workdays, restricted workdays, or medical
treatment but which receives First Aid Treatment.
First Aider: First
aider is a first aider is someone qualified to give first aid treatment in the
event of an injury or illness.
Flaring: Flaring
is a Routine Flaring includes continuous production flaring, Pilot & purge Continuous
production flaring is characterized by a routine, continuous gas stream that is
routed to a flare system because there is no economical gas valorization route
for a satellite field or the routine venting of flash gas in upstream
production. Non-Routine flaring involves operations that result in high
emissions, large-scale emissions of smoke, high noise levels, or other unusual
features; any event where complaints could arise from regulatory bodies or
other authorities.
Fragile Surface: Fragile
surface is the surface through which one can fall through guardrail systems
barrier erected to prevent employees from falling to lower levels of the fragile
surface.
Free Fall: Free
fall is the act of falling before a personal fall arrest system begins to apply
force to arrest the fall from work at height.
FSMS Food Safety
Management System: The food safety management system is the risk management
system that controls both specific and general operational hazards using the
seven principles of HACCP hazard analysis critical control point and Good
Hygiene Practices (GHP) as described by the codex aliment Arius Commission of
food safety management system.
Fumes: Fumes are
the collection of small metallic
particles which have condensed from their gaseous state.
Fungi: The Fungi is
the small organism’s yeasts and mushrooms that cannot produce their food
but live on dead organic matter, or as parasites on plants and animals.
