HSSE-R-011 - Project HSSE Reviews (PHSSER)
Regulation Title
Topic
Health, Safety, Security and Environment
Objective
To provide guidance on the Project HSSE Review process adopted by OMV Group throughout the project lifecycle.
It outlines the Review procedure, recommended composition of the Review team, responsibilities for key personnel
and the code of conduct to be followed by the Review team. It also provides details of the methodology for
assessing which development projects should be subject to the PHSSER process.
Target Group
All employees involved in Capital Projects
Scope of Effectiveness
OMV Aktiengesellschaft and all companies which are fully consolidated. In companies not fully consolidated, where
OMV Aktiengesellschaft has a controlling interest. All stock corporations are excluded with the result that these
regulations have to be separately enforced in these entities.
In the interests of simplicity and readability, the language of this statement is gender neutral to the extent possible. Where
applicable, the masculine includes the feminine. Print-out is only valid on the date printed. Check for the latest version in the
Regulations Platform. In case of conflict, the document in its Master Language must be applied.
This Recommendation provides guidance on the Project HSSE Review (PHSSER) process
adopted by the OMV Group throughout the project lifecycle (i.e. Identify & Assess, Select,
Define, Execute and Operate). It is applicable to both major and minor ‘greenfield’ and
‘brownfield’ development projects and projects involving major changes or upgrades to existing
operating facilities.
In the context of this Regulation a project is defined as a Capital Project with a total budget
greater than EUR 20 million. Smaller Capital Projects should apply the same principles and
practices.
The objectives of a PHSSER are to provide an independent and authoritative assessment of the
following:
Compliance with the OMV Group Sustainability:HSSE Policy, Corporate HSSE Management
System (as per the 12 policy Elements and their objectives) Directive and Standards;
Compliance with all relevant legislation and OMV Group Standards;
Reduction of HSSE risks to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP);
Effectiveness of the project HSSE plan;
Effectiveness of the systems put in place for the management of process safety and
technical integrity;
Any special aspects specific to the development project;
Identification of actions for improvement.
The findings and recommendations of the PHSSER team, along with the response from the
Project are documented and formally communicated to the Project Owner, Executive Board
Member/SVP of Business Segment, SVP Corporate HSSE and SVP Corporate Project
Management and Corporate Project Management GTM-H (Project Related HSSE).
2. Content of Regulation
As illustrated below, five PHSSER stages (1-5) should be conducted throughout the project
lifecycle.
Each PHSSER stage, as illustrated above, is commenced when a project phase is around 60 to
80% complete. It is recommended that where practicable the PHSSER Stage 4 should be
combined with the IGR 4. Depending on the project, and on agreement with the Project Owner
and HSSE Business Partner, the PHSSER Stage 2 and 3 may be conducted together as
appropriate with the Execution Progress Reviews (EPRs), i.e. during Execute Phase, subject to
determining that the HSSE review process is not diluted and compromised due to time
constraint or lack of skills and experience on the review team.
A PHSSER team leader, who is independent of the project, shall be selected by the HSSE
(Business Partner). The team leader shall then assemble a team of experts (independent from
the project) relevant to the PHSSER stage to conduct the Review. These may include, for
example:
The size and composition of the team will vary depending on the project. The team leader will
determine who shall be on the team based on the skills and experience required. Where
appropriate the team leader may ask for a Project representative to join the team to help
facilitate the review.
After appointment of the team leader, the general steps of a PHSSER shall be as follows:
2.4. Responsibilities
In consultation with the Project Owner deciding if the PHSSER process is required for a
development project (refer to Annex I for decision making criteria);
In consultation with Corporate Project Management GTM-H (Project Related HSSE)
ensuring, that the PHSSER is conducted to an acceptable and consistent quality;
Approving the PHSSER team leader and ToR;
Approving the final report;
Communicating findings to the Project Owner, Executive Board Member/SVP of Business
Segment, SVP Corporate HSSE, SVP Corporate Project Management and Corporate Project
Management GTM-H (Project Related HSSE).
Planning the requirements for PHSSERs post six month takeover/steady operations;
Assisting in the preparation and endorsing the ToR;
Making personnel/facilities/information available and assisting the PHSSER team in the
completion of its duties;
Completing the Operations response part of the final report;
Implementing the recommendations from the PHSSER.
Preparing the ToR in consultation with the Project Manager and HSSE (Business Partner);
Selecting team members for the PHSSER;
Identifying preparatory material for the team to review before the start of the PHSSER;
Preparing the schedule of the interviews and meetings (refer to the example in Annex III);
Managing the PHSSER including interfaces with any contractors or suppliers that are being
reviewed;
Ensuring that sufficient investigations are carried out to give an authoritative assessment of
the project;
Revising the ToR if during the PHSSER more information is revealed that may require a
different approach to attain the objectives of the Project HSSE Review process.
Making presentation in the kick off meeting to the Project team of the PHSSER;
Presenting findings and recommendations in a close out meeting to the Project Owner and
project team
Preparing a final report containing the findings and recommendations from the Review.
The following section provides an overview of the key HSSE documents which should be
considered for review and therefore included in the ToR for each PHSSER stage.
2.5.5. PHSSER Stage 5 (OPERATE Phase – Post six months takeover/steady operations)
To satisfy the objectives of this Recommendation the Project HSSE Review team shall be
provided with:
Facilitation and access shall be provided at all sites or offices including contractors and
suppliers.

This Annex outlines the risk ranking methodology to be used to assess which development
projects should be subject to the PHSSER process. At the beginning of a project the Project
Owner in consultation with HSSE (Business Partner) is responsible for determining whether
PHSSERs are required for the project. The Project Owner is also responsible for ensuring that
these reviews (i.e. where applicable) are included in the Project Assurance Plan.
The Project Manager should assign a numerical score to the following risk factors (a description
of the risk factors and the scoring system is described in the next section):
The overall risk (R) shall be determined by the summation of all the above risk factor scores, i.e.:
The risk level score shall then be applied as follows to determine if the PHSSER process is
applicable:
Table - 1
When a development is carried out in stages (e.g. temporary early production system followed
by further drilling and permanent full production systems) the risk factors
(C+L+S+H+T+E+Sec+X) should be allocated based on the potential maximum final development
scenario.
Where a development has onshore and offshore facilities, then the total project value should be
used and treated as wholly offshore for the purposes of allocating the ‘C’ factor.
