About Gary Somerville

I have strived to establish and maintain best practices in a HSE culture throughout my 14 years work experience as an HSE Advisor / Manager with WesternGeco/Schlumberger, and an additional 5 years as an independent HSE Consultant. My primary goals are zero injury to people and avoiding damage to the environment. Integrity, sincerity and honesty are the core values that I apply at work and in my personal life. I prefer to think of myself as an advisor as well as a manager, whereby I have the opportunity to help people and preserve the environment in which we live.I have an outgoing, confident personality with strong leadership and motivational skills. I relate well to both subordinates as well as superiors and integrate readily into new environments. Fully aware of the importance of coordinated teamwork, as working with excellent team members many good things can be accomplished I have had the great fortune of working with many great team members during my career and without our combined efforts many of my accomplishments would not have been achieved.Specialties: Incident Investigation Facilitator Fundamentals of the 5-Why’s Working At Heights, Fall Protection Competent Person & Rescuer Financial for None Financial Managers Harvard Training CourseNegotiating Skills training Harvard Training CourseLeadership Though coaching Harvard Training CourseEssentials of Project Management Harvard Training CourseHSE For Supervisor &Loss Prevention Team LeaderPeople Management & Organizational Improvement Harvard Training CourseISM Code Auditor Course Advance Accident Investigation Warsash Maritime SchoolISM code familiarization & auditing Warsash Maritime School

    Preparing for a shallow water OBC project in Simpson Lagoon offshore Prudhoe Bay. Specialised vessels were to be used for this project, which were on-site from previous years. The vessels consisted of two Flexi-float cable/recorders, a purpose-built landing craft with a portable source and Arctic Star source vessel. As this was a new project for BPXA, a specialized Safety Case and Project Plan, including an environmental impact on Marine Mammals, and an in-depth waste management plan, had to be written for BPXA as no procedures, JSAs or risk assessments were available for this crew. This had to be created from new which took approximately four months to compile with the first drafts of all documentation accepted by BPXA.

  • Western Geophysical
    Hse Advisor
    Western Geophysical Jul 1996 - 2000
    Us
    HSE Advisor Onboard Western Legend and Western Trident January 1999 to June 2000(3D-multi Streamer Vessels)During my time serving onboard these vessels, my main task was to implement and populate the vessels’ new Safety Management System by introducing the International Safety Management code (ISM). This consisted of reviewing and rewriting all operational procedures, conducting ISM awareness training with all crew members for both seismic and marine operations, and redefining the vessels onboard emergency procedures as per the requirements of the ISM code. These had to be completed prior to the vessels being ISM audited by a Panamanian classification society in order to be in regulatory compliance. As the Western Trident was a new class of vessel to the feet in January 2000, many of the onboard procedures had to be written and approved by HQ. My main achievement was that both vessels received verification that the SMS onboard was working and was effective and that the crew had full knowledge and understanding of the ISM Code and received ISM Certifications from the Panamanian classification society.HSE Advisor Ocean Bottom Cable (OBC) July 1996 to December 1998Two years experience working as HSE Safety Advisor on an OBC crew where my main duties and responsibilities were extended to five additional vessels within the operation. While generally based on the recording vessel (mother vessel), I transferred between the other vessels to assist and support the crew operations in all HSE-related matters. Experience gained while working in various parts of the world from the North Sea, to shallow water operations in the Red Sea areas, with both marine and land operations in the Middle and Far East.
