On 30 June 2019, a pipe support dropped from the LP Flare Line at the Northern Endeavour facility in the Timor Sea (operated by Upstream Production Solutions). The incident was verbally reported to NOPSEMA on 1 July 2019 at 20:00 hrs CST. This report classifies the occurrence as a dangerous occurrence under the categories of "dropped object" and "could have caused death, serious injury or LTI." The incident triggered mandatory reporting requirements under OPGGS(S) Regulations, with Part 1 submitted within the required 3-day notification window and Part 2 due within 30 days. The dropped object incident represents a safety-critical event requiring NOPSEMA assessment of whether the operator's safety management systems adequately controlled dropped object risks at the facility.
