From the Back Cover

Offshore operations engineers and managers in the US OCS must comply with the requirements of the BSEE Safety and Environmental Management System (SEMS) and pass audits accordingly. However, the available reference materials have been primarily created for regulatory and audit personnel, while the implementation is the responsibility of operations. This leaves operations personnel on their own to interpret the SEMS requirements and to develop implementation plans. An Operations Guide to Safety and Environmental Management Systems (SEMS): Making Sense of BSEE SEMS Regulations gives operations engineers and managers a vital tool to understand the SEMS requirements and priorities from an operations perspective. The core of the book is the 17 elements stemming from the BSEE SEMS regulations, which are broken down into parts to help operations management understand the keys to the compliance. The keys to operations understanding the elements are supported by "what good looks like" practical sections that are the composite of past failures and lessons learned. Rounding out with additional sections providing the history of SEMS and its relationship with ISO and process safety of references, An Operations Guide to Safety and Environmental Management Systems (SEMS): Making Sense of BSEE SEMS Regulations provides offshore engineers and managers a clear and concise direction on how to perform key actions for their SEMS programs and run safer long-term offshore operations.
