Socio-Economic Challenges Affecting Construction Women Labourers (WCLs) in The Nigerian Construction Sector (NCS)

Women constitute about half of the population of Nigeria and thus a critical mass in the human capital of the country. They make significant contributions to social and economic development of the society, yet they are never appreciated nor supported by public or private institutions. Recently there have been a growing number of women in construction labour work in the Nigerian Construction Sector (NCS) - an area hitherto exclusively preserved of the male folks. This study investigates aspects of social and economic conditions of women construction labourers (WCLs) in Ondo State Southwest Nigeria. Convenience and Snowball sampling were used to sample 101 WCLs. Simple descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data. The result indicates that most WCLs are low in education and skills hence they mostly participate in supportive roles that are energetic. The WCLs are exposed to multiple risks due to poor Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), welfare and social protection of Nigerian Construction Contractors (NCCs) in the informal construction sub sector of the NCS. The study recommends for the improvement and enforcement of HSE standards, welfare package and training in the NCS.

Super-sparse marine 3D: A game changer for seismic exploration

TotalEnergies SE and partners Shell and PetroSA recently completed the acquisition and processing of a large (10,000 km2) ultra-sparse (200 m between streamers) marine seismic acquisition survey off the west coast of South Africa in block 5/6/7 using a large PGS Titan Class Ramform vessel. The sparse design enabled fast acquisition and low survey cost and health, safety, and environment exposure. Advances in sparse processing enabled high-quality final seismic data consistent with the exploration objectives. In addition, DUG optimized the 4D regularization/interpolation parameters to approach the near offsets differently than the offsets with more complete coverage to help several processing steps. The survey was designed to be upgradable to a higher-resolution survey if needed via the addition of a custom regular infill pattern, either in its entirety or over targeted areas.

TATA KELOLA KEBIASAAN BARU DI TAMAN SUNGAI MUDAL YOGYAKARTA (Proses Adaptasi, Sosialisasi, Partisipasi oleh Pengelola dan Pengunjung)

Pandemi Covid-19 memberikan dampak yang signifikan terhadap sektor pariwisata karena banyak destinasi wisata yang tutup dan tidak dapat beroperasi secara maksimal. Tatanan kebiasaan baru menjadi alternatif kehidupan di masa depan yang tentu saja harus didasari dengan penerapan protokol kesehatan berdasarkan Keputusan Menteri Kesehatan RI Nomor : HK.01.07/Menkes/382/2020. Dibukanya kembali destinasi wisata harus didasari dengan tanggung jawab yang penuh oleh para pemangku kebijakan ataupun para pelaku wisatanya, termasuk di objek wisata Taman Sungai Mudal Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui “Tata Kelola Kebiasaan Baru yang Dilakukan oleh Pengelola maupun Pengunjung di Objek Wisata Taman Sungai Mudal Yogyakarta” dengan menggunakan pendekatan partisipasi dan metode kualitatif deskriptif. Tata kelola adaptasi kebiasaan baru sebagai acuan operasional di objek wisata Taman Sungai Mudal pada prinsipnya sudah disesuaikan dengan panduan CHSE (cleanliness, health, safety, and environment sustainability), meskipun masih belum begitu maksimal. Pemerintah sebagai salah satu bagian dari stakeholders pariwisata harus berperan ganda, yang tidak hanya membuat regulasi untuk mengatur kegiatan pariwisata dengan himbauan penerapan protokol kesehatan, namun juga dapat mengevaluasi pelaksanaan kegiatan tersebut sebagai salah satu langkah strategis yang berorientasi terhadap keselamatan bersama. Mengembangkan partisipasi dan dukungan dari para pemangku kebijakan sejatinya mendorong iklim yang kondusif dalam perencanaan pembangunan pariwisata yang unggul disuatu wilayah.

Criminalistic characteristic of the offenders committing crimes related to the violation of the regulations governing aquatic biological resources

The article examines the criminalistic characteristic of the offenders committing crimes related to the violation of the regulations governing aquatic biological resources. The author forwards a hypothesis that the understanding of the personality of the environmental criminals affects the clearance rate of this type of crimes, therefore, summing up the general data, it is possible to derive a portrait of a criminal, relying on a certain model typical for all criminals of a given category, taking into account three aspects - generalized, group and individual. Based on the study, the author concludes that persons who breach protection of aquatic biological resources regulations are not typical, although they have common features that make it possible to classify the offender as a specific type of criminals and they are characterized by the inherent features of random criminals (first-time offenders as a result of coincidence), as well as unstable criminals (first-time offenders regularly evading social norms and previously committed offenses). The author’s analysis of the judicial and investigative practice of violations of aquatic biological resources regulations shows that, as a rule, a person commits crimes without planning them in advance. A guilty person decides to commit a misconduct already in the process of his activity, which is due to the relevant conditions: lack of proper control by supervisory authorities, lack of knowledge of the operational situation at the current time, the need to shorten the time frame for the accomplishment of the work, the use of equipment in production that does not meet modern safety and environment requirements, etc. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying knowledge about the personality typology of the subjects of violation of aquatic biological resources regulations in the preventive activities of the state bodies, in order not only to combat these violations, but also to prevent them.

Boosting HSE Management More Efficiently and Sustainably: How Innovation Can Bring Change in Traditional HSE Mindsets?

As a part of laboratory Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) management system, the working environment control is applied to eliminate various occupational hazards for workers. This control is a continuous effort in our petroleum R&D laboratory as the working environment management system. As an element in the management system, workplace inspection has been taken into the regular HSE activity. Even traditional and well established, the workplace inspection has been continuously improved and optimized from various aspect of inspection design, inspection members selection, check list, and feedback. To make the continual improving practices more practical and effective, workplace features such as laboratory specific environment and ad-hoc research programs have been incorporated into the inspection design. All findings are summarized immediately after every inspection, and subsequently which types of risks hidden in the findings and necessary corrective actions are discussed. All of them: findings, risks, and corrective measures should be swiftly shared with all employees in the workplace. A check list format has been optimized from both aspects of easier recording by inspectors and correctly feedback to responsible personnel to take right counter measures. The paper analyses a large data of workplace inspection results in recent 10 years. The analysis reveals that hazardous sources are decreasing in recent years because of maturity of HSE culture in our laboratory. A combined cycle of inspection activity and data analysis would be useful for understanding the current status of working environment control and considering further updating plan. This paper discusses a practical example of laboratory HSE management system from both of detailed and high levels. Furthermore, a potential is discussed for a future workplace inspection using artificial intelligence and deep learning. The enterprising discussion contributes employee's traditional mindset fresh.

Enhancing Operational Safety Through Mechanization and Intelligent Automation of Drill Floor Operations

Our rig crews regularly work around structures that pose risks such as dropped objects and pinch points. HSE and operational performance is highly dependent on human performance. Human performance or human factors have resulted in a relatively high frequency of serious Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) incidents associated with tubular handling on ADNOC Onshore rigs. An example is the fatality on a rig in Abu Dhabi while preparing to run casing in February 2018. We believe we can prevent major incidents, enhance efficiency and reduce risk by removing our people from harm's way through mechanization and intelligent automation of drill floor activities. The objective of this work is to reduce the human factor as low as reasonably practicable through mechanization and intelligent automation of tubular handling operations on ADNOC Onshore rigs. An incident prevention workshop recommended a technology search to enable hands free operations and reduce the human to machine interaction as much as reasonably practicable. A quick market research and a "Go, See, Assess" exercise with ADNOC Shareholders revealed several potential offerings on the market. ADNOC Onshore collaborated with two major technology providers and jointly designed a mechanized set up for ADNOC Onshore land rigs. The solution involved the use of mechanized equipment such as Casing Running Tools complete with hydraulically actuated single joint elevators, hydraulic catwalk, automated power slips, remote operated tong system with supporting alignment systems, air operated elevators, remote operated stabber, etc. The solution was successfully implemented on multiple rigs. The mechanized set up reduced the number of people in the so called RED Zone by 50% (Stabber, Tong Operator, Thread Inspector and Floor man) during casing and completion running operations. Other benefits realized include: Reduced reliance on human performance Reduced risk of harm to people due to dropped objects and pinch points on the rig floor Assured consistency in executing repetitive tasks such as running casing, etc This level of mechanization and intelligent automation is a first in the ADNOC Group, represents a STEP CHANGE in operational safety and has transformed how we do our business, underpinning HSE as priority number one.
