Real-time inspection in energy sector
Over 59,000 work-related fatalities and 4 million non-fatal accidents occur across the African
continent each year. Learn how to improve your real-time inspection methods to ensure safety
at the workplace and to ensure that your staff is proactive

9:30 am - 10:00 am VISIONARY TRAILBLAZER: Real-time inspection to increase situational awareness in energy


Focus: Mechanical damages are high in oil & gas in Africa and are the primary reason for pipeline hazards
which leads to encroachment of pipelines. 29% of incidents and 20% of fatalities happen due to the
encroachment of pipelines
Key question: How can companies decrease mechanical damages of the assets?
• How pipeline monitoring and condition assessment will increase inspection rate up to 50%?
• Analytical solutions for correct integration of data sources from real-time inspection to achieve a decrease in fatalities by 70%
• Right training of safety operators to ensure appropriate repair methods for pipelines

10:00 am - 10:30 am REGIONAL TRAILBLAZER PRESENTATION: Overcoming offshore accidents across mobile and stationary platforms by implementing pipeline-leak detection systems to improve safety & productivity by 60%

Focus: An overturned oil tanker exploded in Nigeria in January 2019, killing many of the dozens of people who were scooping up its leaking fuel. Hundreds of people have died in similar accidents in recent years in Nigeria, Africa’s largest oil producer, as impoverished people risk their lives to collect fuel leaking from pipelines on and offshore facilities.
Key question: What are the key aspects to obtain an overview of emerging preparedness response in oil & gas in Africa?
• What are the biggest challenges & opportunity of pipeline-leak detection technologies?
• How far is the African market in implementing new technologies?
• What solutions exist on the African HSSE market?

Fire Safety and Evacuation Management
As it has been dramatically demonstrated not only in the Macondo accident but in variety of cases,
offshore oil rigs activities entail the hazard of a major accident with potentially severe consequences
to the life and health of workers plus pollution of the environment

Focus: In this session, you will learn how to effectively plan your emergency evacuation plan in case of a fire in the workplace by the use of new innovative technologies such as drones to increase the incident response by 40%
Key question: How effective can an evacuation plan be for controlling the actual accidents and deaths of workers?
• Communication is key: Setting up the right channels for effective and clear communication
• Evaluate current plans, procedures and incident or drill records

12:00 pm - 12:30 pm Work pressure and safety behaviors among workers in Africa: The moderating role of management commitment to safety

Focus: The majority of incidents in Africa happen due to lack of the training of the workers on the oil & gas or mine field. Resulting in over 59.000 work-related fatalities each year
• How to ensure quality on all levels of HSE in an organisation by implementing risk
Management software?
• Measuring and communication of effective HSE performance
• How can you measure safety parameters?

unwholesome health, safety and environmental practices; resulting in widespread ecological
disturbances, including pollution from pipe-line leaks; blowouts; drilling fluids and refinery effluents;
land alienation; and disruption of the natural terrain during oil and gas operations
Key question: What is the impact of correct HSE standards and increased productivity?
• What are the major challenges in using technologies such as drones or real-time monitoring technologies to improve safety in the energy sector?
• What regulations need to be considered while the implementation of technologies?
• How can Africa develop its own by bench marking with global players?
