IMPLEMENTING A CULTURE of SAFETY

About the Book

Implementing a Culture of Safety Deepwater production of oil and gas takes place in one of the world’s most hazardous and dangerous environments … a place where operating in a pervasive Culture of Safety is not an option but an absolute requirement. Why? • A deepwater disaster could be as horrific as a release of a multi-megaton nuclear weapon! • A single deepwater player, making a poor decision, could cause an accident the size of a multi-megaton disaster! • The number of vitally-interested stakeholders has mushroomed, and they are mad! • The number of participants in the development of a billion dollar asset has skyrocketed! • Energy executives now have everything at stake when responsible for a god-like, megaton disaster! To stay safe and productive, energy companies must step up their game with new and improved ways of operating: • High Reliability Organizations • Strong-Bond Governance • Asset Integrity Management • Integrated Operations • Authorization, e.g., Two-Key Requirements • Surrounded by a true Culture of Safety. The heart of the matter is to design a valid Culture of Safety and then implement it on target, on time and on budget!
