Helping oil and gas leaders reduce major process safety incidents and improve operational performance using proven lessons from the US Nuclear Navy. Founder & President at High Reliability Group LLC | Keynote Speaker
If you work in Refineries or Chemical Process Plants, take some time to read the final report from the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board regarding the September 2022 fatal fire at the BP-Husky (now Cenovus' Ohio Refining Company) Refinery. HRG teaches "Learning Organization and Level of Knowledge" as principle number 1 of our HRO model of culture. Unfortunately, companies continue to underinvest in becoming a learning organization. See the excerpt below from the executive summary. After you read this report, please let me know why your organization does not need to focus on High Reliability Organization principles. {Yes, I am tired of being nice about this...people are getting killed.} We can do better. We must do better. Let's learn and apply HRO Principles. "Learning from Incidents. The final recommendation of the report of the BP U.S. Refineries Independent Safety Review Panel in 2007 (“the Baker Panel Report”) stated: “BP should use the lessons learned from the Texas City tragedy and from the Panel’s report to transform the company into a 13 Investigation Report recognized industry leader in process safety management” [2, p. 257]. a In its investigation of the September 20, 2022, naphtha release and fire, the CSB found similarities between the overflow events of the BP Toledo Refinery incident and the findings from the fatal explosions in 2005 at the BP refinery in Texas City, Texas. Catastrophic incident warning signs existed prior to the September 20, 2022, incident at the BP Toledo Refinery, and had BP effectively recognized and acted upon the warning signs following a 2019 incident, the company could have provided more effective safeguards to prevent the overflow of multiple vessels during a refinery upset such as the September 20, 2022, incident. (See Section 4.4)" P.S. Did you take action to share the learnings from this incident with your team? Or did you just say to yourself "That can't happen here. We are too good."? https://lnkd.in/gCiWJt84 #highreliabilityorganization #processafety

In light of recent high-profile incidents investigated by the Chemical Safety Board (CSB), the importance of designing effective safety and training programs is now more crucial than ever. In the midst of National Safety Month, it's the perfect time to reassess and reinforce our unwavering commitment to safety and operational excellence. Some items to think about during Safety Month: 1. External Reviews When incidents occur, however minor, are you unleashing the right external review? Picture an unbiased team conducting a thorough 72-hour on-site evaluation, meticulously observing shift turnovers, teamwork, and communication practices. The insights gained from these assessments are game-changing, revealing operational gaps and providing actionable recommendations that drive real improvement. 2. Leadership Unity Are your team of leaders unified in their vision for safety, all having participated in HRO workshops? These transformative sessions help develop a cohesive vision, ensuring safety isn't just a policy but a core value embedded at every level of the organization. 3. Workforce Training Workshops can train your frontline leaders on HRO principles using real-world case studies and foster an environment of continuous improvement. For example, when your organization adopts the "questioning attitude" and "team backup" principles, employees become proactive problem solvers, contributing to a safer and more reliable operation. 4. Coaching Programs Consider individual or group coaching programs that focus on specific problem-solving, where leaders are mentored to build confidence and adhere to HRO principles. 5. Audits and Reassessments Regular third-party audits and reassessments, coupled with root cause analysis for every incident, help maintain a high standard of operational excellence. This proactive approach ensures small errors are identified and corrected before they escalate, fostering a culture of vigilance and proactive management. Investing in these areas isn't just about compliance; it's about building a culture that prioritizes safety and excellence at every level. The key is to select the right partner in this journey, ensuring that your organization not only meets but exceeds safety standards. #OperationalExcellence #NationalSafetyMonth #ProcessSafety For more information on how High Reliability Group (HRG) can help your organization, contact us here or visit our website.
