With the tightening of risk tolerance along with more stringent health, regulatory and environmental compliance issues, past solutions for safe operations are no longer sufficient. There is an increased need for greater asset utilization and protection as well as the development of functional safety related skills and competencies of operators and maintenance personnel.
This requires an industry leading safety culture along with the implementation of best practices to proactively plan and manage operational risk, effectively reducing production outage, equipment damage, environmental issues and danger to personnel. International standards for safety such as IEC61508, IEC61511, ISA S84 and a number of recent incidents are prompting a reexamination of safety practices and best safety culture that are driving an even greater focus on safety in order to maintain license to operate the plant.
More than ever, running your plant safely while optimizing productivity requires the right blend of experience and technology – it requires a Sustainable Safety Culture.
A sustainable safety culture involves a combination of People, Process, Technology and Support working together in a holistic and integrated approach to process safety management.
People – enabling personnel to effectively respond to abnormal conditions by enhancing skills and providing reliable information in real time
Process – validating how practice differs from design and create workflows that effectively manage change
Technology – providing automation that minimizes human error in the process and removes people from hazardous conditions
Support – ensuring systems and operations run at peak performance throughout the lifecycle of the plant
