In the high-stakes environment of the oil and gas industry, road safety is a top priority. SysLab offers comprehensive, out-of-the-box solutions to manage road safety, addressing everything from driver behaviours to vehicle checks and journey management compliance. This is especially critical in the Sultanate of Oman, where road safety is a focal point for HSE departments in oil and gas organizations.
Driving Safety Initiatives in Oman
In Oman, significant efforts are underway to reduce road incidents and enhance driver performance. Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), a major operator, has rolled out version 5 of SP 2000, introducing new KPIs, vehicle age limits for concession areas, and other measures to improve driving standards. The Oman Energy Association (OPAL), representing the oil and gas industry, has also issued version 2 of its Road Safety Standard, implementing extensive changes across the Energy & Minerals sectors.
SysLab’s Commitment to Road Safety Excellence
SysLab is dedicated to promoting road safety excellence by providing tools that simplify the implementation of road safety rules and initiatives. Here’s how SysLab makes a difference:
Streamlined Vehicle Checks
SysLab streamlines the vehicle check process, helping drivers complete checks and report issues efficiently. The software ensures that vehicle issues are highlighted in real-time and reported to the maintenance department, Journey Manager, and line managers. Only vehicles that pass these checks are visible to the Journey Manager for journey planning. For vehicles that don’t pass the pre-trip inspection, repair requests are generated with just a few clicks, ensuring prompt maintenance and safety compliance.
Comprehensive Journey Planning
SysLab’s journey planning feature includes all necessary information, such as driver names, emergency contacts, defensive driving training status, and vehicle details. Integrated with multiple databases, the application provides up-to-date information on driver training, driving licenses, vehicle registrations, and inspection expiry dates. This integration ensures seamless validation and issuance of journey plans.
Journey plans can easily incorporate ETA and planned route details, with predefined rest points based on location or time. The software classifies journeys as day or night and requires the necessary approvals before issuing the plan. A dashboard displaying open journeys and compliant/non-compliant journeys helps Journey Managers effectively oversee and manage journeys.
Monitoring Driver Behaviours
SysLab integrates with various In-Vehicle Monitoring Systems (IVMS) to collect and analyse driver behaviours data. The software generates comprehensive reports by driver, department, and organization, complete with charts and detailed insights. These reports can be produced daily, weekly, or for any specified period and sent to drivers via SMS, WhatsApp, or email. This hassle-free process enables ongoing monitoring and feedback, rewarding good performance and addressing areas for improvement.
Enforcing Assurance Standards
SysLab also supports the enforcement of assurance standards. The software includes checklists for the Seven Pillars Audit, vehicle spot checks, and Journey Management Audits, all pre-loaded to comply with OPAL requirements. This facilitates the work of HSE professionals, ensuring thorough inspections and audits.
In conclusion, SysLab is revolutionizing road safety management in the oil and gas industry. By providing robust tools for vehicle checks, journey planning, driver behavior monitoring, and assurance enforcement, SysLab ensures that road safety initiatives are implemented effectively and deliver tangible improvements. With SysLab, organizations can achieve road safety excellence, protecting their workforce and enhancing operational efficiency.
