Abstract

Introduction

Oil companies are crucial for global economies. However, their operations involve significant risks that can jeopardize not only the continuity of operations but also occupational safety and health. Given this, it's fundamental that they adopt international safety and health standards to reduce accidents and improve working conditions.

Objective

To implement a health and safety system based on the ISO 45001 standard during oilfield operations.

Methods

An experimental, quantitative research approach was used. Data collection was based on the planning, identification, and training stages, following the principles of ISO 45001 and applying the Deming Cycle through the following steps to contextualize the regulatory adjustment: 1. Plan, 2. Do, 3. Check, and 4. Act (P.D.C.A.).

Results

The oil company studied showed moderate compliance with ISO 45001, which was reflected in a downward trend in accident rates over three years of records. Furthermore, an occupational safety and health system was implemented, which began with risk assessment and management procedures, a safety manual, and the application of internal audits.

Conclusions

The implementation of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System Plan based on the ISO 45001 standard potentially influences the prevention of hazards and risks in oil drilling activities.
