identify that the app was available, he
worked closely with Mellora to customise
and develop the app for our specific needs
fitting into the safe systems of work that we
have developed over the years.
“Since receiving the app in its final
version, Richie has also developed a short
training package and provided user training
for our people, its ease of use and the speed
of the internet means that if an inspection
takes place, an incident occurs or an
opportunity for improvement is identified
the other side of the world, we know about it
within minutes of the user pressing the ‘send’
button.
“The added benefit for us as a company
is that the accompanying database that is
automatically populated makes it very easy
for us to identify any additional preventive
actions, analyse data for trends and to be
able to share our lessons learned globally,
not only internally on our world-wide
projects, but also with CRC-Evans Pipeline
International and our parent company Stanley
Oil & Gas”.
A useful and powerful resource
The app has proven to be a very useful and
powerful resource for CRC-Evans Offshore
as a company. It has helped to streamline its
reporting of matters relating to HSEQ and
allows the company to collate information in
a simple but very effective format.
CRC-Evans Offshore has seen a
significant increase in the number of positive
observations being highlighted by its
personnel and the company believes that
the app has helped increase further HSEQ
enthusiasm and focus.
Highlighting safe behaviour at work is a critical part
of how CRC-Evans Offshore manages health and safety.
The company can have all the systems and procedures
in place it wants, but it is personnel behaviours that
turns the systems and procedures it puts in place into
reality. On their own, systems and procedures will not
ensure successful health and safety management. The
successes of these are only determined by how the
organisation ‘lives’ its systems. At the click of a button
on the database, the company has access to all the
information it has received and can display it in several
different format types. CRC-Evans Offshore now has a
powerful tool that its personnel operating globally can
utilise to provide it with ‘as it happens’ information,
thus increasing the company’s ability to ensure that
all matters relating to HSEQ are dealt with swiftly and
efficiently.

From raising hazard observations to completing
workplace inspections, the app has helped to streamline CRC-
Evans’ reporting.

With CRC-Evans’ operations taking
its teams all over the world, it is vital that the
company receives up to date information on all
matters relating to health, safety and quality.
