Presight Barrier Management tool is a critical component to process safety management. In short the software allows for the full risk picture of your assets, whether it is a drilling rig like a jack-up rig, a fixed platform, semi-sub or even a drill ship. It is also used for subsea equipment support vessels (SESV), or other offshore construction vessels. But it also applies to any asset where preventing or mitigating major accidents is critical. Moreover, it supports a clear visual overview and deeper insight into the overall risk picture.
This article will explore the Presight Barrier Management software tool and its capabilities.
The homepage

This home page gives a quick overview of your operations. It shows where your asset is, a quick area view of your asset, and the safety conditions related to the area. On the left, there are six concise graphs displayed: four pie charts and two histograms, showing key metrics for managing risks on an oil platform. Below these graphs, there is a map indicating the location of the platform. While in the middle of the dashboard, there are three categories with icons that lead to subpages: “Plant,” “People, ” and “Process. ” These subpages give more in-depth data on the different safety critical barriers and metrics.
On the right side of the dashboard, there is a drawing of an oil platform that shows the different areas of the platform. This gives a quick area perspective and overview of potential areas that need attention. Each of these areas can be clicked and will lead to the associated Dashboard.
The Offshore Installation Manager (OIM) Dashboard

Each graph can be be zoomed in from the OIM dashboard to show the status of corrective and planned maintenance on barrier elements. The graph has a slider at the bottom allowing the user to look back and ahead in time. This can for example be used for investigation purposes or to plan or for better decision-making in the future.
