AN EVALUATION OF ENGINEER’S RESPONSE TO SAFETY SYSTEM IN THI-QAR OIL FELID
Keywords:
Safety Systems, Thi-Qar Oil Field, Engineers, Oil And Gas IndustryAbstract
The study investigates the safety systems in Thi-Qar oil field located in southern part of Iraq and looks closely for engineers interact with safety systems by determine if the safety protocols act as it should. oil fields are considered as high-risk environments as result, the study seeks to understand engineers' perceptions and implementations of safety systems in oil fields. The objectives of the study are studying the historical content, assessing the current practices of safety systems and highlighting safety practices importance. The literature studied the development of safety standards in historical review and, present safety protocols and case studies for safety management. the results finds that important progress have been taken to set up safety protocols due to the efforts of organizations such as the American Petroleum Institute and OSHA .there are still some compliance, training, and infrastructure issues that present challenges to those safety protocols. Lastly, this research finds that fostering a robust safety culture alongside real-world engineering problems in advanced technologies requires much more than just a timid safety approach. To ensure safe operations in the Thi-Qar oil field, a real-world approach must incorporate untold feedback from both successful and unsuccessful advanced technological operations. The research recommends strategies such as bolstering enhancing training programs, employing interdisciplinary collaboration, and improving the adaptability of safety management systems.
