HSE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING & VALUE SYSTEM
HSE-MAVS™ – HSE Management Accounting & Micro-Delay Cost Impact System
Oil & Gas EPC Construction Edition
Turn hidden HSE delays, safety interventions, standby time, non-compliance and risk exposure into visible USD management impact.
In major oil & gas construction and EPC projects, a 10-minute delay may appear insignificant. A permit issuer is unavailable. A scaffold is waiting for inspection. A lifting plan is delayed. A competent person has not arrived. A crane remains on standby. A gas test is repeated. A workfront is suspended for safety clearance.
Individually, these events often look small.
But when they affect hundreds of workers, expensive equipment, multiple contractors and repeated project activities, their cumulative financial impact can become substantial.
HSE-MAVS™ has been developed to help HSE, construction, project controls and management teams convert these often-hidden micro-delays and HSE-related events into an approximate financial impact in US Dollars ($).

- Management decision impact
700+ Oil & Gas Construction HSE Scenarios
The system includes a large library of 700+ HSE economic scenarios covering major oil & gas EPC construction activities from mobilization through commissioning and start-up.
The scenario database allows users to select relevant events rather than building calculations from scratch.
Interactive Excel Cost Calculator
The included Excel tool allows the user to select an HSE scenario and apply actual or estimated project parameters.
Editable inputs include:
- Number of workers affected
- Delay/exposure minutes
- Loaded worker hourly rate
- Equipment units affected
- Equipment standby cost per hour
- Supervisors and support personnel affected
- Supervisor hourly rate
- Number of occurrences per month
- Recoverable percentage
- Critical-path probability
- Schedule cost per hour
- Direct event cost
- Rework cost
- Contractual/claim cost
- Remaining project duration
- Gross risk exposure
- Residual risk exposure
The system then automatically calculates an approximate financial impact.
Automatic Management Outputs
Depending on the selected scenario and project data, the calculator estimates:
Labour Idle Cost
Supervision Cost
Equipment Standby Cost
Direct HSE/Event Cost
Rework Cost
Contractual Cost
Recoverable Cost
Net Immediate Event Cost
Critical-Path Exposure
Cost Per Event
Monthly Cumulative Cost
Remaining Project Exposure
Risk Reduction Value
Net HSE Economic Value

One of the main purposes of HSE-MAVS™ is to demonstrate the cumulative impact of repeated small delays.
For example:
A 20-minute delay affecting a workforce may appear insignificant when viewed as one isolated event.
However:
Workers affected × Loaded hourly rate × Delay duration × Frequency
plus
Equipment standby
plus
Supervision cost
plus
Schedule exposure
can result in a significant monthly or project-level financial impact.
This enables management to identify recurring losses that may otherwise remain hidden inside ordinary construction productivity reports.
Management Decision Support
HSE-MAVS™ is not designed merely to show that “safety costs money.”
The framework helps distinguish between:
- Planned HSE investment
- Necessary safety-control cost
- HSE process inefficiency
- Operational non-compliance
- Contractor failure
- Engineering/design failure
- Protective HSE intervention
- Incident/failure cost
- Risk-reduction value
- Strategic HSE value
This is important because a work stoppage identified by an HSE professional should not automatically be classified as an “HSE cost.”
For example, if a crane operation is stopped because its certification has expired, the system can distinguish:
Detected by: HSE
Cost caused by: Equipment/Plant Management Failure
Management impact: Labour + equipment + schedule exposure
HSE intervention: Justified
This gives management a more accurate understanding of cost causation.

Why HSE-MAVS™ Is Different
Traditional HSE reporting commonly focuses on:
- TRIR
- LTIFR
- Lost-time injuries
- Near misses
- Inspection numbers
- Audit findings
- Training hours
These indicators remain important, but they do not always answer the question senior management wants answered:
“What is the financial impact of what is happening?”
HSE-MAVS™ adds an economic dimension.
It helps management understand:
How much are repeated HSE-related delays costing the project?
Which activities are creating the largest cumulative losses?
Which small recurring problems should management prioritize?
How much equipment and labour time is being lost?
Which costs are avoidable?
Which controls are necessary and value-adding?
What is the approximate financial exposure if the problem continues?
What potential risk value has an HSE intervention protected?
USD-Based System
All financial calculations are standardized in:
US Dollars – USD ($)
This makes the system suitable for international EPC and oil & gas project environments.
Important Note
HSE-MAVS™ is a management-accounting and decision-support tool.
The financial outputs are approximate estimates based on the parameters entered by the user. They are intended to support management analysis, prioritization and discussion.
Project-specific rates, contract conditions, productivity assumptions, schedule impacts and risk valuations should always be validated by the relevant project, finance, commercial, project-controls and HSE teams before being used for formal financial reporting or contractual decisions.
A Simple Question Can Reveal a Major Project Issue
What if a 15-minute HSE-related delay happens 20 times every day across a major EPC project?
HSE-MAVS™ helps you put a dollar value against that question.
Measure the micro-delay.
Understand the cumulative impact.
Identify the cause.
Support the management decision.
