It is a set of management systems for the health, safety and environmental management of the oil and gas exploration, development, and construction industries that are common in the international petroleum industry. It is also a management mode generally recognized by major international petroleum and petrochemical companies, with the characteristics of systematic, scientific, standardized, and institutionalized. ^[1]

HSE is the English abbreviation of Health, Safety, and Environment. The formation and development of the HSE management system is the result of years of experience in oil and gas exploration and development. From the 1970s to the 1980s, people began to pay attention to and reflect on the overall impact of social and economic development on social progress, and further developed into concerns about social welfare, human rights, and the environment. In the 1990s, some multinational companies and large modern joint ventures began to establish occupational health and safety and environmental protection management systems. As a code of conduct for corporate self-discipline, by the mid-1990s, the third-party certification principle was introduced. In 1989, Shell Petroleum issued the Occupational Health Management Guidelines (OHUG) and published guidelines for health, safety and environment (HSE) policies. In 1991, the first international conference on health, safety and environmental protection of oil and gas exploration and development was held in The Hague, The Netherlands. The complete concept of HSE is gradually accepted by everyone. China sent a representative to participate in the work of the ISO / OHS special working group in 1995; in October 1999, the State Economic and Trade Commission issued the "Trial Standards for Occupational Safety and Health Management System"; in December 2001, the State Economic and Trade Commission issued Guidance on Safety and Health Management System and Auditing Standards for Occupational Safety and Health Management System. China National Petroleum Corporation promulgated the oil and gas industry standard (SY / T 6276-1997) "Health, Safety and Environmental Management System for the Oil and Gas Industry" in 1997. ^[2]

The general elements of the HSE management system are: (1) Leadership commitment, policy objectives and responsibilities. The top leadership of the company made a top-down commitment and established the HSE guarantee system; formulated the company's policy objectives and management, and established the guiding ideology of the enterprise HSE management system; the enterprise established an organizational structure to clarify the responsibilities of different departments, different positions, and different types of work. (2) Organization, responsibilities, resources and document management. Enterprises set up HSE management organizations, clarify responsibilities, authorities and affiliations; rationally allocate human, financial and material resources to conduct extensive training to improve the awareness and skills of all employees; in order to ensure the normal operation of the HSE management system, a complete, appropriate, Effective file control. (3) Risk assessment and hidden danger management. Identify the evaluation objects, establish evaluation methods and procedures, determine the impact factors of hazards and accidents, select discriminating standards, make records, establish detailed targets and quantitative indicators; conduct assessment and management of hidden dangers in the production process. (4) Safety, health and environmental system management requirements for contractors and suppliers. (5) Design and construction of installations (facilities). (6) Operation and maintenance of HSE management system. (7) Change management and emergency management. (8) Inspection and supervision of HSE management system. (9) Accident handling and prevention. (10) System review, review and continuous improvement.

The HSE policy and goals are decomposed into the grass-roots units of the enterprise, and measures to identify hazards, reduce risks, and responsibilities are implemented to the post personnel, truly standardizing the operation of the HSE management system from top to bottom, reflecting "full participation and risk control" , Continuous improvement, ensuring performance ". For example, the implementation of the HSE management system by China National Petroleum Corporation adopted the entire set of "HSE Operation Guide", "HSE Operation Plan" and "HSE Checklist" (referred to as "two books and one table").

The basis of "two books and one table" is HSE risk management. The key of "two books and one table" is to implement responsibilities, and the role of "two books and one table" is to promote continuous improvement.

The development trend of the HSE management system is: (1) The deepening and broadening of the industrial HSE problem, that is, the expansion of the company's vision from an international perspective, the extension of the concept of HSE and the connotation of corporate safety, and the people's accident management of safety, health and environmental management The recognition of the losses caused will lead to a deeper and more comprehensive analysis of the consequences. (2) "Enterprise externalization" on industrial safety and health issues. One is that safety and health issues are increasingly happening outside direct working hours; the other is that safety, environment and health issues are increasingly happening outside the enterprise; the third is that safety, environment and health issues are increasingly caused by Caused by external factors. (3) Publicization and legalization of industrial safety, environmental and health issues, and professionalization of management personnel. (4) Safety, environment and health management with the concept of human resources. The first is the decision-making level, with the establishment of a management committee with the participation of experts; the second is the department-level committee consisting of employees and supervisors. (5) A new health and safety management model appears. Among all human resources activities, safety, environment and health management are the activities that most require leading behaviors. (6) New health management issues occupy a more important position. Such as staff stress and mental health problems, indoor environmental quality and poor building syndrome, cumulative trauma disorders and so on. (7) Internationalization issues brought about by economic globalization-new issues of internationalization of human resources and safety, environment, and health issues.
