TPSMI has completed TOTAL EP Diving Safety Management Systems audit to reach approved supplier status.
The audit took place towards the end of 2014 and was conducted at the TPSMI’ Africa head office in Congo, where a full review of the processes, facilities and staff competencies was carried out.
The 75,000 square foot industrial unit currently acts as the primary base of operations where all diving assets are mobilised safely and efficiently.
At Pointe Noire based unit has resources situated in strategic shoreside bases, which provides localised logistical support to various clients’ operational requirements.
TPSMI has successfully passed an audit with TOTAL EP that sees them reach approved supplier status to carry out surface supplied air and nitrox diving services.The oil and gas industry is renowned for being robust on its approach to QHSE and requires contractors to operate to recognised standards. In passing the back-to-back audits, TPSMI has demonstrated its capability to operate at high QHSE standards in line with industry recognised performance levels.
Improving performance and being compliant within key markets involved in subsea engineering is important to TPSMI and this is demonstrated with the second successful audit in recent months within the oil and gas industry.
Commenting on the successful completion of the audit, managing director, Stéphane Troté , said: “Safety is paramount in the diving industry, but to be able to dive in the West Africa Sea with a company such as TOTAL EP demonstrates the levels of competency we are operating to. To have passed this audit is something that we are both excited about and proud of as the commitment demonstrated by the team here at TPSMI has been exceptional.”
