Accident Prevention Program Prioritization Using Kepner Tregoe Model: Case Study of PT Pertamina EP Regional 2 Zone 7

Abstract

Pertamina EP Regional 2 Zone 7 (PEP R2Z7), a section of PT Pertamina EP (PT PEP), the National Oil Company of Indonesia, is an upstream Oil and Gas Company that operates in West Java Indonesia. The company conducts high-risk activities in exploration and production to extract oil and gas. According to the accident historical data, 40 work-related accident cases occurred in PEP R2Z7 in the period from 2018 to 2021. Accidents are caused by multiple factors that require programs to prevent a similar accident. The established accident prevention program in the company is generated from all accident data in PT PEP working areas around Indonesia which consist of 14 Zone. Because of these conditions, the accident prevention program becomes out of focus and needs to be prioritized based on accident case data. Accident prevention program priority is determined by the combination of Kepner Tregoe Method and Pertamina DNV SCAT accident root cause. The combination method is used to describe the root cause of an accident case, identify the accident prevention program criteria, and relevant alternatives to accident prevention programs based on the accident historical data, and choose the alternatives. The alternative solution is consist of the enhancement of established prevention programs and proposed the new prevention program. Some of Established prevention programs are still relevant with the historical data in Pertamina Region 2 Zone 7 such as Iman Campaign or Strengthen Work in Progress (WIP) Assessment. Meanwhile, some of the new proposed programs are Task Observation/Safety Awareness Supervision or Buddy System work for high-risk job. The implementation of the alternative solution is embedded inthe Objectives Target Program (OTP) of Health Safety Security and Environment (HSSE) PEP R2Z7. The OTP contains the program purpose, detail program, the output and the evidence of the program, schedule, and progress monitoring of the program. The proposed alternative solution is expected to reduce the number of accident cases in PEP R2Z7.
