Order Respecting Dangerous Operation on HMDC GBS Slab

On Friday, October 10, 2014 the C-NLOPB’s Chief Safety Officer (CSO) issued an Order Respecting Dangerous Operation for work involving personnel working on top of the Hibernia Gravity Base Structure (GBS) slab, following a High Potential Near Miss that occurred on September 14, 2014.

As a result of the investigation report submitted by HMDC, it is the opinion of the CSO that continuation of this work has the potential to result in serious bodily injury.

No further work activity is to occur involving personnel working on top of the Hibernia GBS slab until measures/barriers for the safe conduct of such work are in place to the satisfaction of the CSO.
