Endure, Inc provides HMSDC critical information about the new requirement for Safety & Environmental Management Systems Compliance, "From Voluntary to Required" Lunch & Learn November 30, 2011.

The SEMS is a nontraditional, performance-focused tool for integrating and managing offshore operations. The purpose of SEMS is to enhance the safety and cleanliness of operations by reducing the frequency and severity of accidents. The Bureau of Ocean Energy, Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) has asked industry to voluntarily adopt SEMS.
The BOEMRE has four principal SEMS objectives:

1. focus attention on the influences that human error and poor organization have on accidents;
2. continuous improvement in the offshore industry's safety and environmental records;
3. encourage the use of performance-based operating practices; and
4. collaborate with industry in efforts that promote the public interests of offshore worker safety and environmental protection.
