AbstractSince the publication of the OGP (ex-E&P Forum) "Guidelines for the Development and Application of Health, Safety and Environmental Management Systems" in July 1994, HSE Management Systems built along the OGP model have been developed in many sectors of the Oil Industry. Actual field implementation and buy-in from operating units have however been and remain today the most challenging part of the process. This paper shall present the main steps that were followed to successfully implement a common HSE Management System across one multiservice, culturally diverse international corporation and shall review early results.
