Safety & Environmental Management
Program (SEMP)
SEMP
Audit Protocols
One of the BOEMRE objectives for regulating safe operations has
been to promote continuous improvement in safety and pollution
prevention. Integral to that is some method of determining if
the safety management systems have the necessary components,
that they are in place, and that they are effective. This can be
accomplished through a sound audit program.
To assist the industry, the OOC and the
Bureau formed a joint working group to develop a set of audit protocols
based on API RP75. These can be used directly or tailored by companies who
are ready to begin assessing the effectiveness of their safety system
management programs but who do not have their own audit programs yet.
Companies with ongoing audit programs can also use them for benchmarking
purposes.
Note: The audit
questionnaire protocols in the following files are not subject
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Neither the BOEMRE, nor
any other Federal Government agency, requires the use of these
or similar questionnaires. Companies do not collect the
information for submission to BOEMRE or any other Federal
agency. Companies which implement API RP75 might use such audit
questionnaires as internal company documents, but would do so on
their own initiative.
