			<title>Safety Moment  Just Get the Basics Right!</title>
			<description>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
	&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Being passionate about safety means being so caring about one&#39;s fellow workers and being so excited about the tools we have to help them work more safety, that we continually think ahead about more ways to protect people, talk with great enthusiasm when sharing our safety insights, set the right example every time, never shy away from stopping an unsafe act and continuously suggesting safer ways of working.&amp;rdquo; HSE professionals are constantly trying to finds ways to pass along the same passion for safety as they have. Often they are left feeling unsatisfied and dishearten when it passion is not displayed within their company.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
	&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;
	&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
	&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Not that they shouldn&amp;rsquo;t continue trying, but maybe HSE professionals should be satisfied and encouraged with co-workers doing the right every time for safety &amp;ndash; whether they were passionate or not. Maybe concentrate on the basics and repeating them over and over and don&amp;rsquo;t worry about generating passion. If co-workers don&amp;rsquo;t get the basics right, it will catch up with us eventually. Below is a list of 10 &amp;ldquo;basics&amp;rdquo; that we should all think about.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
	&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;1.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Technically qualified and competent people&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
	&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;2.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Effective inductions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
	&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Safe equipment, materials and environment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
	&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;4.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Specific safety training&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;

			<itunes:subtitle>Safety Moment  Just Get the Basics Right!</itunes:subtitle>
			<itunes:summary>
	&quot;Being passionate about safety means being so caring about one&#39;s fellow workers and being so excited about the tools we have to help them work more safety, that we continually think ahead about more ways to protect people, talk with great enthusiasm when sharing our safety insights, set the right example every time, never shy away from stopping an unsafe act and continuously suggesting safer ways of working.&quot; HSE professionals are constantly trying to finds ways to pass along the same passion for safety as they have. Often they are left feeling unsatisfied and dishearten when it passion is not displayed within their company.

	 
	

	Not that they shouldn't continue trying, but maybe HSE professionals should be satisfied and encouraged with co-workers doing the right every time for safety - whether they were passionate or not. Maybe concentrate on the basics and repeating them over and over and don't worry about generating passion. If co-workers don't get the basics right, it will catch up with us eventually. Below is a list of 10 &quot;basics&quot; that we should all think about.

	1.     Technically qualified and competent people

	2.     Effective inductions

	3.     Safe equipment, materials and environment

	4.     Specific safety training

	5.     Permits, proper risk assessments and pre-job talks

	6.     An effective safety observations system

	7.     Good reporting

	8.     Coaching to overcome aspects of human nature

	9.     Continuous, concise and frequent education

	10.   A great safety culture

The new NTL, which supersedes and replaces NTL No. 2007-G02, does not introduce any new types of mitigation measures but is intended to clarify how a geophysical contractor should implement seismic survey mitigation measures, including ramp-up procedures, the use of a minimum sound source, airgun testing and protected species observation and reporting. Additionally, the new NTL incorporates new regulations cited in the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR), which was necessary upon the dissolution of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement and the creation of the BOEM and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

			<title>Safety Moment: Risk Assessment  protecting your most valuable asset!</title>
			<description>&lt;div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		A risk assessment is an important step in protecting workers and business, as well as complying with the law. It helps you focus on the risks that really matter in your workplace &amp;ndash; the ones with the potential to cause real harm. In many instances, straightforward measures can readily control risks, for example ensuring spillages are cleaned up promptly so people do not slip, or cupboard drawers are kept closed to ensure people do not trip. For most, that means simple, cheap and effective measures to ensure your most valuable asset &amp;ndash; your workforce &amp;ndash; is protected.&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		&lt;strong&gt;What is risk assessment?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		A risk assessment is simply a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm. Workers and others have a right to be protected from harm caused by a failure to take reasonable control measures.&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		Accidents and ill health can ruin lives and affect your business too if output is lost, machinery is damaged, insurance costs increase or you have to go to court. We are required to assess the risks in our workplaces so that we can put in place a plan to control the risks.&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;

			<title>EM Environmental Impact Assessment completed</title>
			<description>&lt;div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of electromagnetic (EM) techniques used for oil and gas exploration and production in the marine environment has been completed and published. The EM EIA was funded by the member companies of the IAGC EM Subcommittee and prepared by LGL Limited environmental research associates. A &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iagc.org/EM-EIA&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Press Release&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; announcing the new publication was distributed to a range of international and local specialist oil and gas magazines on November 8.&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		The goal of the EIA was to provide a comprehensive resource summarizing available literature and potential effects of EM technologies on marine life. Designed for a broad audience, the document provides a basic description of EM survey technologies, naturally-occurring EM fields, and the potential use of these fields by diverse animal groups. The assessment focuses on survey activities considered to have at least some potential to affect marine animals, such as EM, noise, light emissions, and accidental events.&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		The EIA concluded that EM sources as presently used have no potential for significant effects on animal groups such as fish, seabirds, sea turtles, and marine mammals. In addition, cumulative effects from EM surveys are negligible compared to natural EM anomalies, induced fields from natural water currents, and anthropogenic EM sources such as those originating from undersea equipment.&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		The IAGC EM Subcommittee anticipates the EM EIA will be a useful reference document for the geophysical industry as well as oil and gas exploration companies, regulators, non-government organizations and other stakeholders. &lt;em&gt;Environmental Impact Assessment of Electromagnetic Techniques used for Oil &amp;amp; Gas Exploration &amp;amp; Production&lt;/em&gt; is available for download in pdf format at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iagc.org/en/cms/7708/&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IAGC website&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
		&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify; &quot;&gt;
