Design permit and isolation controls covering the work involved in comprehensive safety culture.
Building a Comprehensive Safety Culture Across All Organisational Levels
A structured, applied course in comprehensive safety culture — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in comprehensive safety culture; it has added to it. Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability both accrue interest. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a operating procedure for this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations as they go. They acquire practical criteria for judging when comprehensive safety culture is working and when it is only appearing to. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability. The programme takes participants through this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. Improvement in comprehensive safety culture stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Mature organisations treat the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations that participants can repeat annually.
