In 2010, following one of the most catastrophic offshore blowouts in U.S. history, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) began mandating Safety and Environmental Management Systems (SEMS). Until then, the Safety and Environmental Management Program (SEMP) was a voluntary program for all oil and gas operations in the United States. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). Much like OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 which contains 14 elements, SEMS outlines 13 key elements that aid employers in their efforts to prevent or mitigate episodic chemical releases that could lead to a catastrophe, endangering workers and the surrounding environment.

To control these types of hazards, employers need to develop the necessary expertise, procedures, judgment and proactive initiative within their workforce to properly implement and maintain an effective process safety management program as envisioned in the SEMS regulation.

BOEMRE has four principal SEMS objectives:

  • Focus attention on the influences that human error and poor organization have on accidents;
  • Encourage the use of performance-based operating practices; and
  • Collaborate with industry in efforts that promote the public interests of offshore worker safety and environmental protection.
  • Continuous improvement in the offshore industry's safety and environmental records;
