RISK MANAGEMENTAssuming the continuity of the Iran nucleardeal beyond 2017, the top five likely drivers ofrisks to international businesses in the MiddleEast are as follows, according to ControlRisks’ recent RiskMap analysis: • Geopolitics: Countries such as Saudi

Arabia, Egypt, Qatar and Iran will look tobuild or consolidate bridges with China,Japan, India and/or Russia to hedge againstthe uncertainty surrounding the USA’s andEurope’s engagement in the region. Thismay impact major project awards andbilateral trade agreements

• Fiscal consolidation: Efforts to reducegovernment spending in response to lowoil prices will continue to affect economicgrowth and dampen public investmentlevels across the region. They will alsodrive regulatory risk – particularly rises inlocal taxes and changes to local content

regulations, as well as risks of non-payment and contract frustration. Reformefforts are also likely to trigger localisedlabour and/or social unrest in NorthAfrica, particularly in Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco

• Push for FDI: While efforts to attractforeign investment to diversify economiesand boost growth may be successful innon-strategic sectors such as education,healthcare and e-commerce, they areunlikely to succeed in other major sectors,such as energy or telecommunications,where prevailing statist trends and a desirefor government interference will likelylimit the extent of privatisation andliberalisation

• Weakening of Islamic State: The collapse ofIS territory is likely to prompt a globalexodus of foreign fighters and theirrecruitment into other groups and

continuing operation in weak governanceareas, such as the Sinai in Egypt, as well asparts of Libya, Syria and Iraq. While in Iranand the GCC this trend is unlikely to triggerany significant increase in the threat ofattacks, countries such as Tunisia, Morocco,Lebanon and Jordan may face higherchallenges to contain returning IS fighters

• Cyber: The conflict in Syria and thebroader complex geopolitical situation inthe Middle East is likely to have asignificant impact on the regional cyberthreat landscape in the coming year,leading to plausibly deniable data-wipingattacks on rivals, which are likely to targetgovernmental bodies, symbolic targets andelements of critical national infrastructurein rival states.

FIRE SAFETYThe UAE has long beencommitted to ensure the safety ofits residents and citizens, and isincreasingly focusing on fireprotection. However, despitethese efforts, incidents of fire arenot unheard of in the emirates.Conscientious measures areconstantly being implemented bythe UAE government agencies,namely Dubai Civil Defence andAbu Dhabi Civil Defence, toimprove standards. To promote the emirates’ fire

protection agenda, Nullifireorganised ‘The Fire Protection inBuilding Design’ technicalconference, in collaboration withHealth, Safety & Security ReviewMiddle East magazine, to bringtogether more than 250 delegatesand top speakers from across thefire safety industry.The topics ranged from

enhancing fire protectionsolutions in building to lookingat fire safety in steel structure,both addressed by Dr AndrewTaylor, fire protection specialist,R&D at tremco illbruck.Providing reference cases from

the USA, he stated that most ofthe deaths occur not due to firebut due to inhalation of toxicfumes. He also reiterated theimportance of active and passivefire protection in buildings. As anexpert in intumescent coating, hesuggested that the protective topseal can go a long way insafeguarding steel structures inbuilding. Next on the agenda was how to

holistically approach fire safetycompliance for facades. AbhishekChhabra, internationalconsultant, business developmentat Thomas Bell Wright, put acrossthe importance of the

implementation of fire safetyplans in building design.The UAE complies with both

American and Europeancertifications, which may beconflicting in many cases.Michael Luna, director ofcompliance at VanguardConsultancy, urged in hispresentation support for a singleworldwide accreditation. Shamim Rashid-Suma,

president at UAE InternationalChapter of the Society of FireProtection Engineers (SFPE) anddirector of business development,presented case studies of fireprevention methodology in

buildings in the Middle East. Shepointed out that correctplacement of signages andimplementation of rules go a long way in ensuring saving of lives.The event was a tremendous

success. As Eng. CaptainMohamed Alkatheeri, fire safetymanager and fire protectionbranch manager – Abu DhabiCivil Defence put it, “It was a verygood event and very useful asnew information has come to thefore. It had very good line up ofspeakers who can help push theindustry in the right direction.”Nullifire is at the forefront of

smart passive fire protection. Forover 40 years, Nullifire has been amarket leader in intumescent andfire stopping solutions. Accordingto the company, passive fireprotection is highly complex butcrucially important, especially asbuildings become moresophisticated. With a uniqueteam of technical experts,everything is focused onproviding what its customersneed at every stage of theirproject - smart protection.

T he huge boom inconstruction activity inSaudi Arabia is forcing

officials, construction companiesand other experts to scrutinisehealth and safety ever moreclosely. With accidents alwaysfresh in the mind – the collapsedcrane at the Holy Mosque inMecca in September 2015 duringthe Hajj season that left 111people dead and hundreds moreinjured obviously springs tomind – the industry cannotafford to take its eye of the ball,especially during such a freneticbuilding period. The government’s massive

infrastructure roll out – coveringeverything from hospitals andhighways through to new portsand petrochemical plants – iskeeping engineers, constructioncompanies and workers at fullthrottle.The kingdom’s total

infrastructure spend was

reported to be worth US$30bnlast year alone, with more tocome this year. Despite reports ofa spending slowdown, promptedby more subdued oil prices,activity on the ground seems asbusy as ever.But there are, of course,

consequences to this. A newreport, Saudi ArabiaInfrastructure Report Q1 2017,identifies the labour market as apotential weakness in SaudiArabia’s ambitious constructiondrive. The kingdom has thelargest construction market in theGCC, it notes, and scores highlyfor the amount of investmentmade in the economy, although itadds that liquidity issues couldstart to weight on overall projectand activity levels. But it warns“the labour market is the biggestrisk in the construction sector.”As a result, the Saudi Ministry

of Labour (MOL) – hypermotivated following the crane

collapse, said to be the worstaccident of its kind in modernhistory – has stepped up site visitson firms and constructionprojects and slapped fines onoffenders where violations havebeen identified, creating a climatewhere all parties are keepinghealth and safety front of mind.

Safety records Most at risk are ordinarylabourers who make up the bulkof hired workers on largeprojects. According to one report,with Arab News citing data issuedby the Kingdom’s GeneralOrganization for SocialInsurance, up to 50,000construction labourers met withaccidents while on the job duringthe first nine months of 2015,nearly all of them non-Saudis.But that should not mask the

many day-to-day achievementsbeing made across literallythousands of work sites, large and

small, up and down the country.While the MOL continues to pickup on a multitude of violations,both minor and in some casesmore serious, across SaudiArabia, the industry has for themost part operated trouble-free,certainly given the scale ofactivity levels and spending. One of the country’s biggest

transport undertakings right nowis the Riyadh Metro, a massivemulti-billion dollar development,commissioned by ArriyadhDevelopment Authority. RiyadhMetro Transit Consultants(RMTC) is the engineer for twoRiyadh Metro contracts – it isperforming programme andconstruction managementservices as a consortium of threepartners, with US-basedengineering services firm Parsonshaving the lead role in health,safety and environment (HSE) management.Parsons announced recently

that it had passed a key safetymilestone on the flagship railproject after exceeding threemillion safe work hours. Thiscomes less than a year aftersurpassing two million safe work hours without a single lost-time incident.“Safety is one of Parsons’ six

core values, and we are firmlycommitted to maintaining a safeand healthy environment in all ofour offices and on each of ourprojects,” said Gary Adams,Parsons group president. “I am very proud of the RMTC

project team for achieving such asignificant safety milestone; their

shared commitment andcombined efforts have seen theapplication of stringent HSEpolicies and standards enforcedon site for all key stakeholders.”The culture within large state-

owned enterprises could beshifting too. Saudi ElectricCompany (SEC) said recentlythat it had reduced workaccidents by 16 per cent during2016, compared to 2015. It marksthe third year in a row forimproving its health and safetyrecord, and follows a determinedeffort by senior management toraise the game.

Niche opportunityEven with a slowdown in newproject spending, the level ofconstruction activity is likely tobe sustained to a great degree viastrategic initiatives such as SaudiVision 2030 and NationalTransformation Plan (NTP)2020, announced by DeputyCrown Prince Mohammed BinSalman. Sure enough, earlier thisyear, Saudi Arabian authoritiessanctioned three more publictransport projects in the portcity of Jeddah alone – a tramline, a marine taxi service and a

new bridge – a sign that anyfreeze on new infrastructurework in the kingdom may beeasing as the government slowsits austerity drive. It means Riyadh is eyeing long-

term growth, which is only likelyto benefit the constructionmarket in the coming years. This,in turn, will maintain the focuson all health and safety areas for along time to come, and provideopportunity for niche playersoperating in this market.Among them is Centurion, a

leader in headgear and above-the-neck protection for workers,which recently announced amajor global rebrand and focuson the Middle East. It followsnews of Centurion putting inplace manufacturing tools tomould products for the region inSaudi Arabia, with the brandbeing the first head protectioncompany to do so. It has alsoappointed a dedicated salesmanager for the Middle East tolead the new push.“We’re hearing from

customers that this is the right

time to really cement our focusin the region, and ourmanufacturing presence in thekingdom of Saudi Arabia is atestament to this,” said AhmedKamel, Centurion’s new regionalsales manager. The company’s chief executive,

Jeff Ward, also said that the movewas prompted by the hugeactivity levels and spendinggrowth in the region. “With a constant flow of major

infrastructure projects plannedthroughout the region, there hasnever been a greater need forcontinuing advancement in headprotection systems to ensureworkers can deliver their best,” he remarked.With spending on new projects

poised to continue, and asscrutiny grows on all health andsafety related issues, it seemslogical that more companies maywell follow suit and tap into thelocal market. Collectively, it canonly help in keeping theconstruction industry’s focus onthe most important issue of all –health and safety. �

According to the company, the UAE has

positioned itself as the region’s leading retailhub, with a recent study by the Dubai

Chamber of Commerce and Industryforecasting Dubai’s retail sector in particularto touch US$54.46bn in 2017 and expand atan average of five per cent annually. GenetecRetail Intelligence will help retailers gain adeeper understanding of customer behaviour,needs and preferences to build a morepersonal relationship by analysing andcorrelating information gathered frommultiple sensors such as video surveillancecameras and point-of-sale systems. Withpowerful analytics such as queuemanagement, heat mapping, directionalanalysis, people counting and conversion rate

analytics, the application can notify staff inreal-time to respond to shoppers in the storeor in a particular section. “Retail is a key pillar of the UAE’s economic

diversification strategy, and we extend oursupport to the country’s retail industry bypresenting our latest application that canprovide valuable data on customer behaviorto retailers. Genetec will throw the spotlighton its video surveillance application and howit can be leveraged for some real-time in-storeintelligence that can improve and impact salesand customer experiences,” says Firas Jadalla,regional director – MEA, Genetec.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTIONScott Safety participated at Intersec 2017 witha varied range of its high performancerespiratory protection, advanced thermalimaging and industrial PPE solutions. The company was displaying both

American and European-approved fireprotection products at its stand. Apart fromthe award winning Scott Sight in-maskthermal intelligence system, Scott Safety’sother product in the limelight was the LightDecontamination System, now launched inthe Middle East. The Light Decontamination System is a

commercial off the shelf (COTS) productdesigned for chemical, biological, radiologicaland nuclear (CBRN) decontaminationoperations, offering the end-user trueinteroperability via a multi-chemical payloadapproach. The man-portable backpack system delivers

four litres of atomised chemistry driven by a300 bar air cylinder. The technology comescertified to the European Pressure EquipmentDirective and is based around the delivery ofaerosolised chemistries that behave like a gasand will rapidly decontaminate all line of

sight (LOS) and non line of sight (NLOS)chemical and biological contaminants – bothairborne and surface. The system is alsocapable of delivering polymeric and highviscosity materials suitable for radiological tiedown applications. The deconta min ationsystem is principally designed for interiordecont am ination that includes critical andiconic infrastructure, airport buildings,hospitals, under ground facilities, buildings,containers, storage facilities, aircraft and shipsholds and vehicles.Paul Shaw, head of EMEA marketing , says,

“We have already launched the Light

Decontamination System in the military andnow want to extend the application to the restof the industrial sectors. What we have here isa unique product and the way it works is itspeeds up the breaking up of chemicals. Thebyproduct is mist, which is finer than anydecontamination process you can find in themarket today. And the advantage is anychemical agent can be put into the unit. “We believe we have a great idea and

technology that will work especially in theMiddle East because this region is very diverseand accepting of innovations.” Speaking further on Middle East expansion,

Paul mentions that Scott Safety has developeda strong distribution network to stock anddistribute its products across the GCCcountries. “Customers in the region haveindicated that they are ready to embrace ourwide range of personal protection equipmentcurrently sold in Europe. The response atIntersec has been very strong. It’s a verypositive market.”Scott Safety displayed its range of helmets

and bumpcaps, half and full masks, andgoggles at the three-day show, whichconcluded on 24 January.

QATARHSE & FIRE SAFETYCONFERENCE


Al Garawi Group, distributor for the CATindustrial product line in the GCC, is puttingits best foot forward in the region with a focuson growing its appeal in key regional marketswith a diverse product offering.According to Zakir Hussain, marketing

manager, Al Garawi Group, Saudi Arabia isthe brand’s top performing market, followedby the UAE and Qatar.“The sheer size of the Saudi market means

there is more industry demand, and with thatcomes more purchasing power,” he said.“The UAE is our second largest market,

followed by Qatar, where infrastructuregrowth and construction industry activityahead of its hosting of the FIFA World Cup in2022, is supporting demand for CAT

footwear, safety apparel and accessories,” headded.The company is upbeat about the year

ahead, as he explained: “In general we areseeing increased commitment to health andsafety in our key markets and budgetallocations are healthy.“Our focus simple: to grow our product

base, and by participating in events such asIntersec in Dubai, we are able to connect withan important, relevant audience,” hecommented.The CAT brand philosophy ‘Forged by

Work; Driven by Life’ is showcased across itsdiverse range of safety-centric footwear andapparel, with global trends playing a key rolein product development.

Hussein said, “We are trying to add morelightweight products to our footwear range, indirect response to consumer demand. Ifyou're working on-site for eight hours ormore, then overall comfort is a major factor.”The Dimen line remains a top seller for Al

Garawi Group in the region, but he alsoflagged the trend towards more athletic-looking styles, as seen, for example, with theFormation and Linchpin ranges.“The athletic sneaker has been popular for

a while. Customers are definitely looking for alittle more style in their safety footwear, it’snot just about function,” he noted.Reflective stripes for added night-time

safety are another trend-meets-function valueadd, Hussein pointed out.

SAFETY SOLUTIONSThe signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) betweenDubai Civil Defence (DCD) and Honeywell at Intersec 2017, will seesharing of knowledge and know-how in safety solutions, withHoneywell training the emirate’s emergency responders in the latesttechniques.“We already have a partnership with DCD for their 24/7

programme, which covers the monitoring of commercial buildings inthe city, so this MoU is an extension to our existing relationship,” saidFahmi Jabri, strategy and marketing director for HSF, Middle East,Turkey and Africa (META), Honeywell.The agreement also provides an opportunity to gain invaluable

client input that Jabri said would be used for development ofHoneywell’s future product road map.“We are moving from being a product manufacturer to a solutions

provider,” he explained. Honeywell, which has been present in theregion for six decades, is committed to sharing the latest technologicalinnovation with the goal of improving safety and security across theMiddle East.“We need to understand [customer] needs today, and in the future;

and all our products will have customer input embedded in them,”added Jabri.The integration of Xtralis’ products into Honeywell’s expanding

regional portfolio since its April 2016 acquisition has also been apriority, with technologies such as its WINMAG Plus integratedsecurity management interface showcased at Intersec.A heightened sense of security in the region is similarly driving

demand for efficient full spec solutions from border control toperimeter security technology. Jabri said,“Our state-of-the-art PIR detectors, which were part of the

Xtralis acquisition, play a big role here as they are very long range,extremely accurate, tamper proof and military grade.”He also noted the emergence of new fire safety and security

regulations in the majority of countries in which Honeywell is present;an encouraging move in his opinion, as he explained: “Kuwait, forexample, came up with new regulations for security solutions last year,and Qatar’s interior ministry is developing regulations that mandatehaving high spec security solutions in certain areas.“We are helping our customers to leverage software and Internet of

Things technology so we can really connect buildings and industries,and not in name only.”

DRONE TECHNOLOGYFLIR Systems, developer, manufacturer anddistributor of thermal imaging solutions fordomestic, commercial and governmentapplications, returned to Intersec, with its DJIInspire 1 drone drawing visitors to its mainconcourse stand.The drone was developed to introduce an

additional layer of advance detection protectionfor the firefighting community in the region,with a mounted DJI Zenmuse XT stabilisedthermal camera combining to provide anadvanced first responder solution.“The drone has drawn lots of attention and,

along with our portfolio of fixed thermalimaging truck-mounted products that connectto a monitor, this is essential in conducting anearly assessment of a dangerous fire location,”

said Jalaal Abu Hassan, regional sales managerInstruments, Middle East, FLIR Systems.Hassan cites innovation in thermal imaging

systems development as fundamental to FLIR’sglobal commercial success.“It’s also important because if we don't have a

commitment to innovation then it would bedifficult to survive in this competitive market. Asa market leader, we need to demonstrate ourcapabilities to our customers,” he remarked.The DJI Inspire 1 drone is, itself, a first

responder. Said Hassan: “The firefighting teamcan fly the drone above key areas to identify hotspots in the building using a simple joystick. Thedrone has 20-22 minutes flight duration, whichallows plenty of time to survey the area.”FLIR has worked with Civil Defence in the

UAE for the last 10-15 years, and is the preferredsupplier for equivalent entities across the GCC,

including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait. “It’s important for us to have an open

dialogue with civil defence and the relevanttraining academies, and be able to exchangeideas and information,” said Hassan.Egypt is another market where the company

is seeing growth in demand for its products, ashe explained: “Awareness of the need to have thebest technologies in place is growing, and withcivil defence entities in various countries aroundthe region talking to one another andparticipating at regional events, this isprompting new interest.”The release of the UAE’s new Fire and Life

Safety Code at the Intersec event was applaudedby Hassan, who said, “This will drive furtherawareness of the need for technologicalinnovation and a commitment throughout theregion to put fire safety first.”

Next generation innovation taking FLIR to new heights

VIDEO SURVEILLANCEAt Intersec 2017, Quantum announced expansions to its storagesolutions family and technology partner ecosystem for videosurveillance and security. With the new Xcellis™ Application DirectorE, customers in low camera-count environments can now run videomanagement systems (VMS) or analytic applications with directlyattached storage. In addition, Arecont Vision, AxxonSoft and Digiforthave joined the Quantum Advantage Partner™ programme, enablingthem to test, qualify and integrate their VMS technology with Quantumstorage offerings for enhanced customer benefits. Xcellis Application Director E, a new model in the Xcellis Application

Director product line, is a cost-effective video server and storageappliance for smaller-scale camera environments. This new entry-leveloffering is ideal for implementations ranging from ten to 25 cameras;fulfils storage requirements from 18TB to 64TB (raw); enables users tomanage further data growth through integration into a larger QuantumQXS™ Series disk-based environment or Xcellis-based tieredarchitecture. Wayne Arvidson, vice-president, surveillance and security solutions,

Quantum, says, “As storage has taken on a larger role in users achievingtheir surveillance and security objectives, leading VMS companies havepartnered with Quantum because of our commitment to deliveringoptimised solutions for joint customers.” Speaking to Health, Safety & Security Review Middle East, Arvidson

also pointed out that Quantum’s flagship product StorNext has twodecades of development history and was originally developed tocombine data from high definition satellites, aerial reconnaissanceandmapping info and analysing it in real-time. The system was designedspecifically for managing video content. “We have enhanced StorNextover the past two decades and we realise those performancerequirements are becoming much more applicable in today’s overallsecurity market. There are a lot of data storage vendors in the marketbut what makes us different is that our system is specially made forcapturing video.”Speaking about the Middle East market, Arvidson opines that the

region is a big area for Quantum and there are larger projects in thepipeline. “HD camera technology has been adopted here: the challengeis being able to afford the storage. If you look at Saudi Arabia, thesystems have a five-year retention time. In the UAE and Qatar, it is 180days. If you are looking at 4k cameras, where you are producing eighttimes the amount of data, Quantum gives the capacity to meet theregulations while still being affordable.”

The far-reaching impact ofthe Mirai malware attackof October 2016, which

knocked out Amazon, Netflix,CNN and PayPal among others,should be the catalyst for a globalshake-up of critical infrastructurecyber security as the proliferationof network connected devicescontinues to gain momentum.This was the crux of a

conference session led by Lewitat Intersec 2017. In his session,which was entitled ‘CyberSecurity, IoT and the Role ofStandards in Protecting CriticalInfrastructure’, Lewit focused onthe necessity of balancing smartbusiness connectivity decisionsagainst the risk of possiblebreaches of an organisation’sinformation systems.“Energy security, access to the

electrical grid and police and firesafety are just a handful of thingsthat we take for granted on adaily basis. The issue is whathappens [to information] insidethose organisations, including thedigitisation of information andinternal communication, as wellas the transfer of informationoutside of the organisation, tomake it available wherever you

are and whenever you need it,”he said.The rise in the use of mobile

devices and increased options forinterconnectivity are a fact of life,both personally and for business,but are also a major cause forconcern for companies andentities keen to minimise threatsto their information security.This is being further impacted,

and opened up to risk, by newinformation-handling tools suchas big data, cloud systems and the

Internet of Things (IoT).ONVIF’s vision, is to, one day,

see all communications systemssharing one interface, whereinstead of worrying aboutsecurity across different driversunder development, there will beone single driver.Lewit also called for companies

to work together on thisapproach rather than on aproprietary basis; which hebelieves is slowly changing.“A key point to highlight is the

security

With the proliferation of network connected devices, a savvy cyber security approach is needed to offsetgrowing IoT risk, says Jonathan Lewit, communications committee chair for ONVIF, the open industry forumpromoting and developing global standards for interfaces of IP-based physical security products.

security of the devices that youput on the network, and this isn’tnecessarily isolated to the datathat's on them, but the availableintelligence that can potentiallybe compromised,” he said.In his presentation he also

touched on the dangers ofcomplacency, using passwords asan example. As he explained,“Around 95 per cent of breachesare due to some sort of simplepassword error. We are very quickto type in a simple, easy toremember password and thisincreases the potential forcompromised access to our mostprivate information.”IoT applications in everyday

life run the gamut of humanneeds from medical devices andbusiness security systems to

home monitoring and citywidetransportation planning.Lewit noted that with IoT

growth through to 2020 expectedto result in 50bn devicesconnected across the system, thisonly serves to increase the risk offuture breach exposure.Add to that a growing black

market for fake devices, which cancome pre-loaded with malwareand the associated risk of usingsuch non-controlled devices,which can be made complicit in adenial service-style attack.“IoT security budgets are also

expected to increase by almost 20per cent over the same period toaccount for this increase in theproliferation of devices on thesystem,” he added on a positivenote. “Organisations therefore

need to find the right balancebetween availability andprotection, taking cost intoaccount as well. It's a different‘threatscape’ than with a PC. APC can hold a lot of sensitiveinformation, but an IoT devicecan be complicit in other actionson your network.“We are not cyber mature at

this point. We need to think moreabout the benefits thattechnology gives us rather thanthe risk it presents, but tailor ouractions accordingly. And we alsoneed to develop a whole bunch ofnew technologies to resolve thesesecurity issues.”Lewit also urged

manufacturers to play their part,as IoT devices are easier toharden than your average PC,

and this presents an opportunityin leveraging existing encryptiontechnologies.“They need to think about out-

of-the-box default settings, forexample; or whether we shouldlock some things down straightout of the fate to protect ourcustomers when trying to set uptheir devices,” he said.The role of standards is vital to

ensuring real-time security. Lewitconcluded, “The message is loudand clear, from a connectivitystandpoint, the interconnecteduniverse isn’t going to go away. “There are two possible

developments here: we can havelimited utilisation of standards,or openness and unlimitedinteroperability. IoT is notpossible without standards.” �

Body cameras areincreasingly becomingstandard kit for police

officers over the near term, andwe are seeing more use amongstother first responders and privatesecurity teams. They have someability to moderate behaviours,but they are really there forassessing and managing liability –i.e. who said what? Who didwhat? So, they are currently beingused less as a live operational tooland more as an important after-

the-fact management capability. At Digital Barriers we regularly

get asked for a more usefulsystem to assist operations andaddress the question, “How can Iaccess the video live during anincident so I can better manageour response?” Examples of where this is usefulinclude:• The ability of command tomonitor a fire as soon as the firstrapid response team arrives at thescene, setting up a cordon of

wireless drop cameras, camerason the engines themselves andbody-worn cameras. Whatadditional support teams areneeded, how is the public beingmanaged and kept safe, is theresponse increasing control of thesituation?• Giving additional remotesupport to a first responseparamedic on the ground whenthe situation needs immediateattention – allowing remote,skilled medical staff to assess

Mark Patrick, chief technology officer (CTO) Digital Barriers, discusses the value of live video and audiostreaming for first responders, and addresses some of the challenges.


trauma and give advice during acritical incident.• Viewing and listening to a policeofficer’s interaction with thepublic when she or he has askedcontrol for additional support –and keeping a record of thatinteraction. Also, a body cameracan easily be removed if thepolice officer is incapacitated –knowing that the video iscaptured and streamed anywayhas the potential to modify thebehaviour of the public anddramatically improve safety.

Addressing the challengesStreaming live video and audio isconceptually simple, but hardertechnically, to make reliable thanit might first appear. Butsolutions are available to counterthe challenges. Let’s explore whatthey are first:• Carriers and bandwidth: gettingthe video and audio back to the

control centre requires atransmission capability. For allbut specialist police responseteams, the solution is nearlyalways going to be cellular – overpublic networks or privategovernment capacity. Video ishungry for data, and a strongsignal and available bandwidth isrequired. If the camera is movingon a vehicle or is body-worn, thatsignal changes constantly –typical methods for sendingvideo do not cope well withfluctuating signals. We have designed solutions

that use less than half thebandwidth and continue tomanage well when movingrapidly between high and lowsignal availability. Using less datameans much lower running costsand the ability to transmit intough environments – buildings,rural areas and where thenetwork is congested due to large

numbers of public cell-phones.• Clutter and power: our firstresponders and commercialsecurity teams are carrying toomuch equipment already. Moredevices mean more power, moreneed to charge and manage thosedevices, and the need to ensurethat the device and its video areproperly registered to the rightuser. We have simplified themanagement of this to reduce thenumber of devices, and use off-the-shelf hardware for most ofour solutions. I wouldrecommend anyone considering astreaming solution to lookcarefully at the manageability ofthe overall solution.• Accessibility: getting video andaudio back to the control centreis one thing, but getting it back tothe field is also often required.An armed police response teamtravelling to a scene may wish toview cameras dropped by theinitial police presence to rapidlydetermine initial actions, or alocal command structure maywish to view all cameras droppedaround a burning building,including those out of line ofsight. The system deployed forlive video should have the abilityto re-stream back to authorisedusers on the ground, which canbe challenging due to networkissues.• Immediacy: is the video reallyreal-time? Most systemsintroduce a number of secondsdelay into the video streamwhereas sub-second is required.The delay, or “latency”, needsspecialist capabilities to minimise.

• Security: end to end encryptionof the video and audio streams isvital given the potentialsensitivity of the video. Thisfactor is hugely important to getright, so as to allow the systems tobe approved for deployment. Thewrong approach causes issuesfrom vulnerabilities allowingremote unauthorised access, toadding significant overhead indata usage and increasing latency. The challenges presented above

can be overcome, but requiresolutions designed for real-time,secure and reliable streamingover cellular, mesh, Wi-Fi orsatellite. Streaming from bodycameras and re-deployablecameras on vehicles and drop-cameras is growing, andorganisations are exploring howthese can have significant positiveimpacts on their operations. Weare seeing tremendous growth ininterest and early adoption, and Iforesee significant roll-out of thesecapabilities in the near term. �

Most people are familiarwith businessperformance

indicators such as KPIs (keyperformance indicators) tomeasure profitability. Theconcept is widely used butrecently, it has been extended toprocess safety (in the form ofsimilarly-named PSPIs), withsome companies reporting a verypositive outcome.

Why PSPIs? Major incidents such as the USTexas City Refinery explosion inMarch 2005, which killed 15workers and injured 170, have ledto calls for process safety KPIs. Inthis particular disaster, safetyperformance was assessed solelythrough measuring occupationalsafety, i.e. the number of slips,trips, sprains and strains. Thisgave a false impression of theoverall safety performance of the

organisation and was found to bea contributory factor to thedisaster. A PSPI programme canproduce predictive signals andgive early warnings of adangerous deterioration ofcritical systems. This enables theorganisation to foresee thelikelihood of a serious incidentand take corrective actions beforeit’s too late.

What resources are available?There are currently five practicesor standards giving guidance onPSPIs: � HSG254, Developing processsafety indicators, A step-by-step guide for chemical andmajor hazard industries, HSE,2006;

� Process Safety Leading andLagging Metrics, Centre forChemical Process Safety(CCPS), revised edition,January 2011;

� Process Safety PerformanceIndicators for the Refining andPetrochemical Industries,American Petroleum Institute(API), RP 754, 1st edition,April 2010;

� Process Safety – RecommendedPractice on Key PerformanceIndicators, InternationalAssociation of Oil & GasProducers (OGP), Report no.456, November 2011; and

� Guidance on Process SafetyPerformance Indicators,CEFIC, 2nd edition, May 2011.

These practices feature twodistinct approaches – the barrier-based approach (given byHSG254) and the tier-basedapproach (given by CCPS andAPI standard and adopted byOGP and CEFIC guidance).

Tier-based vs. barrier basedIn the barrier-based approach,major process safety risks are

If you want to improve reliability, profitability and safety (and who wouldn’t?),then think about implementing a process safety performance indicator (PSPI)programme, says Wahid Azizi, process safety expert at DEKRA Insight.

Process safety -how do you measure up?


process safety


identified first, followed by astudy of their causes and thesafety barriers that guard againstthem (also known as RCS – riskcontrol systems – in HSG254).Leading and lagging indicatorsare then defined around thesebarriers. The result of thisexercise is that each barrier willhave leading and laggingindicator(s) to measure itseffectiveness in managing theprocess safety risk(s) identified.The leading indicators give earlywarning of dangerousdeterioration of the barrier, i.e.the likelihood of an incident inthe future due to the failure ofthe barrier. The lagging indicatorssay something about the barrier’shistoric performance in avertingprocess safety incidents.

Obtaining lagging indicators The barrier-based approachidentifies three steps to

obtaining the right laggingindicators: identify the barriersfor the process; using thesebarriers, state the ‘desired safetyoutcomes’; and define thelagging indicators based onwhether the desired safetyoutcomes are achieved. Forexample, a bulk storage andtransfer process may bevulnerable to overfilling whichcould lead to loss ofcontainment and maybe even alarge fire. One of the safetybarriers identified could be staffcompetency due to the manualnature of the process.

Obtaining leading indicatorsThe barrier-based approachinvolves two steps: identify the‘critical parts’ of each safetybarrier, and then base leadingindicators on whether thebarrier is performing asintended; and set a tolerance

level (or action trigger level) foreach leading indicator. Forexample, at what stage of thedeterioration will an action takeplace to remediate?

Striking a balanceThe call for PSPIs in the processindustry is growing stronger andis being reinforced by regulatorybodies. The barrier-basedapproach to developing andselecting PSPIs can be flexibleand comprehensive, which will

result in a better set of indicatorsat the facility level because itleads to more bespokeindicators. The tier-basedapproach is generic and whileless flexible, it can lead to a set ofmore benchmarkable indicators.Although bespoke indicators areuseful at the facility level, theycan be very difficult to use forbenchmarking at corporate leveldue to inapplicability.Conversely, genericbenchmarkable indicators aremore useful at a corporate levelyet less useful at the facility level. Given this, a balanced

methodology between the twoapproaches should be adoptedacross an organisation. This willenable organisations to benefitfrom an effective PSPIprogramme at the facility level,while also providing usefulinformation for benchmarkingat the corporate level. �

Oil and gas companiesacross the Middle Eastare grappling with an

ever-moving feast of social,geopolitical and technicaladvances. The region has anevolving workforce in terms ofage, learning expectations andtransience, and the desire forexperienced workers, combinedwith the need for transferableskills, to a large extent moves inparallel with activity levels.The first stirrings of a shift in

how companies manage theirsafety and competency trainingrequirements is fast becomingapparent in the Middle East – ashift which might just set thetone for many other energyregions around the world.Following on from some of the

large-scale restructuring carriedout by organisations in the wakeof the global price drop, a

growing number of oil and gascompanies in Abu Dhabi, Dubai,Saudi Arabia and elsewhere arelooking for clarity and support tohelp them bring the safetytraining element of theirworkforce developmentprogrammes in-house.The creation of a skilled and

adaptable workforce has been akey driver for growth in theMiddle East region for sometime. The current focus is stillvery much on safety andcompetency, but industryemployers, particularly IOCs andNOCs, are looking at how thistype of training can be deliveredin such a way that it creates valuein relation to operationalefficiency and allows them toenrich their workforce,particularly during the currentchallenging period, withoutposing any additional risk.

It is this commitment towardspreserving high standards oftraining and competency whichhas brought OPITO to the table.As the global oil and gas skills,standards and workforcedevelopment organisation wehave been an active partner forthe industry in the Middle Eastsince 2010.

Supporting the industryOPITO works in collaborationwith employers to identify theneeds and requirements thatplay a pivotal part in thetraining of employees acrossboth the upstream anddownstream sectors. Our focus is on engaging and

focused predominantly on theoffshore sector. However, as theindustry undergoes a significantperiod of transformation andadaptation, so too does the focusand nature of what we do.A large number of companies

work across – or are becomingincreasingly involved in – both theoffshore and onshore sectors, andthey have the same requirementswhen it comes to the need forconsistent knowledge and safetytraining with world-classcredibility and compliance.The Onshore Petroleum

Processing & Refining FacilitiesStandards are our response to aclear message from industry thatit wants to have the benefit itgains from the offshoreframework applied to onshoreactivities. Critical to the marketand sought by a number of majoremployers, the onshore ERframework acknowledges theoverlaps but also the significantdifferences between the sectors;and we have contextualised anddesigned this new set ofstandards specifically to meet theneeds of a changing market. The new standards encompass

a number of key specialist roleswhose function is to manage anyemergency, coordinate theresponse and respond toinstructions around controllingan incident or emergency.

Underpinning these are theBasic Offshore Safety Inductionand Emergency Training(BOSIET) and InternationalMinimum Industry SafetyTraining (IMIST) standards, aswell as the Basic H2S Trainingstandard. All personnel will betraining to these standards, asthey are in the offshore sector.Together, we believe they providean answer to the needs of theMiddle East’s increasinglydiverse and integrated energy sector. The Onshore Petroleum

Processing & Refining Facilitiesstandards will allow plantemployers to implement anemergency response frameworkwhich is fit for purpose for theonshore community; and do itknowing that they have beendeveloped following the samevigorous process we use for theoffshore sector.Just as importantly however, is

how they have been developed.

Middle East Industry ForumOPITO’s understanding andtargeted response to regionalissues stems from ourengagement across multiplesectors and levels through ourMiddle East Industry Forum, agroup established to provide theplatform for identifyingtechnical learning needs andsharing knowledge.The purpose of the Forum is

to be the regional voice forOPITO standards. While stillgaining ground, the Middle EastIndustry Forum will also play a

major role in the shaping ofexisting OPITO standards basedon their use in the region, as wellas the development andimplementation of newstandards. The insight andintelligence we get through theMiddle East Industry Forum,along with its counterparts inother geographic regions, isessential for feeding into targetedindustry workgroups to ensurewe are providing the support andproducing the standards thatemployers in the region want andemployees need, both now andfor many years to come.More than providing an

understanding of the needs ofthe local industry, the Forum isalso a cross-sector group withrepresentation from across theemployer spectrum, includingnational and internationaloperators, drilling companiesand contractors – and this iswhere its true value lies.The industry is changing.

Opportunities are now beingseen in areas where organisationsmay previously never haveconsidered operating. To keep upwith this change, the Middle Eastis rapidly embracing thechanging industry landscape, andOPITO will continue to supportand deliver enriched value-adding solutions that meet localindustry needs. It is not just about the benefit

OPITO brings to businesses, weare focused on the safety andcompetency of individuals andcompanies within the MiddleEast region as a whole. �

In Mid February, TaraSafe, aleading manufacturer andexporter of flame resistant

clothing from India, announcedthat they would be launching anew value range for all theircustomers globally. The companywill be launching these productsinitially in the European andAmerican markets followed bythe rest of the world. “We are thrilled to bring this

new range into the market andwe are sure that this will beextremely beneficial for ourexisting clients as well as for newclients looking for basic FRprotection,” says director ofTaraSafe International, VivekLohia. “The winter collection hasa FR coverall design and a FRjacket design, both in a 3 layeredflame resistant fabric. Thesummer collection comprises of aFR jacket design, FR trousers anda basic FR coverall. All thesummer collection designs will have multiple fabric andcolour options.”For all the talk of flame

resistance and flame retardantmaterials, there is a risk thatdecision-makers are purchasingthe wrong products for a specificapplication. Arco, the safetyspecialists, outline the differences.For them, “flame retardant fabricsare not 'flame-resistant' or'flame-proof ' however, they are

designed to stop the spread of fireand smother it intoextinguishing. Treated fabrics andinherent modacrylic fabrics havea chemical treatment eitheradded to the finished wovenfabric in the case of treatedfabrics, or added into the fibrethrough a textile process in thecase of inherent modacrylicfabrics. When exposed to a heatsource or naked flame thesechemicals react and release gaseswhich slow down the spread ofthe fire and help smother it bycutting out the oxygen needed bythe fire to continue to burn.” On the other hand, “flame

resistant fabrics, such as thoseusing DuPont Nomex fibres arenaturally flame resistant. Themolecule structure of the fibresitself are not flammable. Ratherthan release gas to smother theflame of oxygen, the fibres willresist the flame or heat source,swell and become thicker, thusproviding a protective barrierbetween the heat source and theskin. The fibres do not burn, meltor drop when exposed to heat or flame.” According to Arco, there were

over 3,000 burn-related injuriesin the workplace in 2010-2011. “Ifemployees are working in apotentially dangerousenvironment where heat or flame

hazards are present, it is theresponsibility of the employer toensure that workers aresufficiently protected. Flameresistant (FR) clothingsignificantly reduces burninjuries which can save lives inthe event of an accident.” DuPont’s Nomex fibre is a

proven material, used byfirefighters, industrial workers,police offices and military forcesto protect them from the heatand fires. However, for some

applications, Nomex fibre maynot offer enough protection. For

Kestell Duxbury explores the technology and applications for fire resistant and fireretardant clothing on the market today.

The technologybehind fire safety clothing



example, encountering sparks orsharp metals can requiresomething different fromclothing materials. Kovenexfabrics, for example, areprodominately designed forwelding applications. These aredurable with abrasion reistance,but are not coated with harshchemical compounds. The cutand tear resistance of Kovenexfabric also help contribute to itsflame resistance. This may be apreviously unconsidered need forworking clothing. Snagging onmetal can cause holes whichdiminishes the flame-resistanceof the material. Even if workersare operating in areas with highheat exposure, small holes inworkwear can raise the user’stemperature to unsafe levels and cause painful burns and heat rash. This may be a reason to even

consider flame retardant orresistant protection for users whoare not going to be in directcontact with flames or fires. For

example, the Dickies flameretardant modacrylic 180 gsmlightweight shirt is a normallooking work shirt. However, itoffers protection against heat andflames, and also includes anti-static fibre for protection againstelectrostatic discharge. This kind of development in

fire retardant and resistant fabrichas driven technology forward intraditional fire safety andprotection equipment. Forexample, Pacific Helmets’structural firefighting F15 helmetincludes Kevlar and fibreglass tocreate a tough outer shell, butalso uses flame retardantmaterials in the chinstrap andneck protector for the beststructural firefighting helmet. Finally, these materials are

finding their way into firefightingequipment such as fire blankets.Ward Science’s Nomex fireblanket is more effective thanwoolen blankets, improving thestructural integrity of the blanketand increasing the user’s safety. �

High profile incidents inDubai, UAE, andbuilding fire safety in

general remain a ‘hot’ topic forthe region, and leading cablemanufacturer, Ducab, used therecent MEE 2017 exhibition todeliver an informative session onthe latest industry updatesregarding cable fire safety.BASEC UK Certification Board

product manager and cable firetesting and approvals expert,Dave Hoare, flew in to presentthe topic, which focused on theBS8519 cable category, and newrequirements for cables across theEuropean Union (EU) as well asimplications for the constructionindustry at large.Effective 1 July 2017, the new

EU Regulation 305/2011 willbecome mandatory for all cablesproduced in member countries.The regulation is applicable to alltypes of cables ‘made available on

the market’ for permanentinstallation in building or civilengineering works, and coverspower, control, communicationand optical fibre cables.The issue of cable quality is

becoming increasingly importantin the UK as well as othermarkets with concernssurrounding high conductorresistance capability (insufficientcopper), the use of incorrectmaterials such as LSHF,insufficient armour, incorrectmarkings, anonymous cableswith no marked manufacturerand importers determiningproduct specifications.Hoare explained the

classification process, which isbased on fire performance andfire resistance, and ranges fromClass Aca, which indicates bestperformance, down to Class Fca,for bottom ranked product.Classification testing is based on

reaction to flame propagation, heatrelease and smoke release (burningin droplets and acid gas emission).

Fire resistance testingIn terms of fire resistance testing,the BS8519 additional measuresinclude cable selection guidelinesfor different building usages andfire survival times – 30 minutesfor means of escape from smallerbuildings, 60 minutes for largerbuildings and 120 minutes forfire fighting purposes.Hoare highlighted the

importance of standards andregulation, which cover a widerange of requirements fromensuring that products are fit forpurpose and cable design thatoffers specific beneficialcharacteristics to specifying theright product for the rightapplication and environment aswell as reassuring themarketplace.

”The consequences can bequite catastrophic, such as theaftermath of The AddressDowntown Dubai fire in 2015,”Hoare noted.Hoare recommends full type

testing every time, which coversthe full remit of tests and not justfire tests, as he explained: “Thisincludes surveillance audits andsample testing. “It’s a much moreholistic way of looking at theproduct.”BASEC level approval involves

production plant andmanagement system inspections,initial type testings, routineinspections two to four times peryear, surveillance testings and,depending on product level, thiscould be anything from 16-50samples per annum. Successfultesting and category rankingmeans that a company is addedto BASEC’s website listing andcan use the BASEC mark on therelevant product.“With full type testing there

will be continued surveillance ofthe process and also ongoingtesting by an independent body,”

said Hoare. “Type testing alsolooks at the capability of amanufacturer to produce theproduct.”

Middle East relevanceWhile this is currently only anEU-mandated requirement,Hoare stressed the relevance tothe Middle East market, citingDubai Civil Defence as anexample, with the entitycommitted to procuring onlyfully accredited product.However, not everyone is as

quality and safety-focused, andHoare issued a word of warning.“There are always people whowish to under-buy in themarketplace. Faulty and sub-standard cables are becomingincreasingly problematic. It’sestimated that around 20 per centof product shipped into the UKmay not be up to standard.”While figures for the Middle

East are not readily available,Manoj Pillai, QHSE manager,Ducab, shared some localexperience.

“Fake cables are a concern foreverybody. Five years ago atDucab we tested 26 samples takenfrom the market [here], and onlythree of them fully complied withthe others all failing, in one wayor another, to meet the minimalrequirements.”Since then the Emirates

Standardization and MetrologyAuthority (ESMA) has come intoplace and Pillai praised its role asa major force in working toeliminate sub-standard cables inthe UAE. �

DIVER SAFETYA new on-demand wirelessribbon lighting system, designedto revolutionise diver safety andefficiency in remote subsealocations, has been launchedfollowing a collaborationbetween Scottish technologycompanies WFS Technologies Ltdand PhotoSynergy Ltd (PSL). Seatooth LIGHTPATH™ is a

combination of two advancedtechnologies – WFS’s Seatooth, asubsea wireless communicationsystem that can download andlog information gathered onsubsea installations remotely, andPhotoSynergy Ltd’sLIGHTPATH™, a side-emittingflexible fibre that projects acontinuous line of light thatcarries no electrical power.The new product works for

both diver and ROV operatorsworking either near surface or atdepths of up to 3,000m. The lightis engaged automatically whenthe diver or the ROV comeswithin five metres of a structure,and provides instant illuminationof subsea architecture anddelineating features such as

control valves, docking bays andeven the outline of the structureitself against the natural darknessof the underwater environment.It switches off automatically

when the diver or the ROVdeparts the scene, and has theability to act as a proximitywarning system whenapproaching installations, otherdivers, ROVs or danger areas.The unit has been successfully

tested in the lab, and will betrialled in subsea conditions inearly 2017.PhotoSynergy Ltd director

Don Walker said, “By integratingthe two products, we haveproduced a much more

convenient and efficient methodfor lighting a challengingenvironment with no physicalcontact required from a distanceof five metres. The subseaenvironment is an intrinsicallydangerous place where it is easyto become disoriented, so theSeatooth LIGHTPATH™ is a verysignificant development insafety.”Brendan Hyland, chairman of

WFS Technologies said, “This is afurther example of the ‘SubseaInternet of Things’, whereintelligent devices automaticallycommunicate with one anotherwirelessly, improving efficiencyand safety.”

GAS DETECTIONNew technology which couldoffer the oil and gas industry acheaper way to visualise methanegas is taking one step closer tobecoming commercially available. In a paper published in the

journal Optics Express,researchers from the University ofGlasgow’s School of Physics andAstronomy and Scottishphotonics company M SquaredLasers describe how they haveused a technique called single-pixel imaging to create real-timevideo images of methane gas in atypical atmospheric setting. While gas imaging technology

has been commercially availablefor some time, current systemsare expensive, bulky and power-hungry. Single-pixel imaging usesjust one light-sensitive pixel tobuild digital images instead ofusing conventional multi-pixelsensor arrays, which can beprohibitively expensive for infraredimaging. This allows the researchersto build a much smaller, cheapergas detection system. The scene in front of the sensor

is illuminated using a sequence ofinfrared patterns created using a

laser tuned to 1.65µm, theabsorption wavelength ofmethane, and display technologycommonly found in digital dataprojectors. Using sophisticatedsampling techniques to correlatethe projected patterns and thegas, the researchers can create areal-time, coloured coded, imageof the gas overlaid on an image ofthe scene using a conventionalcolour camera. The collaboration between the

University of Glasgow and MSquared Lasers was facilitated byQuantIC, the UK’s quantumimaging technology hub, which isbased at the University. QuantICaims to bring a range of newsensing technologies into themarket. The global gas sensingmarket was estimated atUS$1.78bn in 2013 and isexpected to be worth US$2.32bnby 2018, offering an attractiveopportunity for new technology. Dr Graham Gibson, lead

author of the paper, said: “Ourdetector allows us to produceimages which refresh 25 times asecond, equivalent to thestandard frame rate of video,which provides a highly accurate

real-time picture of the scene infront of the detector.“Working with M Squared

Lasers, with the support ofQuantIC, has been of immensebenefit to the project. MSquared’s advanced laser systemsallowed us to effectively ‘tune in’to the wavelength of methane gas,and opens up the possibility ofusing the system to detect othertypes of gases in the future.” Nils Hempler, head of M

Squared Lasers’ innovationbusiness unit, said: “Closecollaboration with QuantIC hashelped M Squared to identify and

create lower cost, compact,greatly improved imagingsolutions that are suitable for arange of industries. “We’re keen to continue our

collaboration to bring this projectto market and to build on thisfoundation to create single-pixelsensors capable of detecting awide range of other sources.”

The team’s paper, titled ‘Real-timeimaging of methane gas leaks usinga single-pixel camera’ is publishedin Optics Express and is available athttps://www.osapublishing.org/oe/abstract.cfm?uri=oe-25-4-2998.
