Bayer, for example, had some of its employees working onsite at Millennium Pharmaceuticals to facilitate communications during their collaboration. See Ziegelbauer, K., Farquhar, R.

Lessons learned provide valuable information for managing health and safety programs. This information addresses conditions to be avoided or recommended practices. Lessons learned typically have the potential for wide-ranging application. Effective identification of lessons learned requires an awareness of emerging practices, programs, and technologies related to hazardous waste activities [3]. 

Lessons Learned. It s very early in the game to make predictions about what changes may be needed as a result of the Manwood test. However, there are already some useful insights that the Task Force expects to factor into the PSM installation plan for the division. These include 1) We need to be very clear in introducing PSM to our employees, and take time to answer their questions. Orientation meetings should be at least 90 minutes, not the one hour we had scheduled. 2) Getting valid feedback takes some effort personnel need to know we mean it when we say we want constructive criticism. 3) Close collaboration between the Task Force and the facility manager is absolutely vital. 

In many respects, crop production has advanced little in the last two decades. More tools (herbicides and insecticides) are available for use by producers, but in many cases we have not fully utilized lessons learned earlier. Residue management seems to be one of those cases. In no-till agriculture, residue management techniques will have to be developed—by engineering, chemical, or biological means—for the system to function.

Continuous improvement is a necessary element of a successful management system. Each investigation or implementation of the management system provides an opportunity to evaluate its effectiveness. The lessons learned strengthen and refine the management system. It is also valuable to recognize and share the positive aspects of those investigation activities that were especially successful. 

The Concorde aircraft tragedy in July 1999 involved a fuel tank puncture caused by tire failure.During the investigation, it was disclosed that there had been at least five previous incidents of almost the same scenario. In one of the previous incidents, a tire failed and punctured the fuel tanks, yet there was no ignition. The incident investigation management systems used by the airlines failed to adequately follow-up and apply lessons learned from previous investigations.

Include the knowledge from the lessons learned in key performance indicators, expectations, and accountability for management. 

Document lessons learned in the incident investigation management system. 

Lessons learned from one facility s incident often have applicability to other facilities within the same parent organization. A management system should be in place to ensure that the understanding of the lessons learned is not isolated to a single location. Another way to express these thoughts was presented in Trevor Kletz s paper Organizations Have No Memory.In practice, organizations may find it extremely difficult to... 

As previously stated, the American Chemistry Council also recognizes this concept as an integral part of the code of Responsible Care , Process Safety Code of Management Practices, Companies should openly share nonproprietary results from internal process safety incident investigations and related research through the auspices of trade and professional associations, and other networking opportunities. Other organizations should strive to benefit from the lessons learned by others and keep abreast of latest developments and safety alerts. 

The bottom left-hand cell in Figure 5.1 thus represents managers for whom development is inadvertent. They leave their experience to unfold as the dictates of their Job demand and subsequently only reflect on such experiences as they feel warrant attention. For these managers, lessons from experience are more often than not tacitly rather than explicitly drawn. This is the normal everyday learning from everyday experience that we are all no doubt familiar with. 

Chapter 2 reviews the lessons learned at JACADS. Chapter 3 assesses the adoption of these lessons into the modified baseline process and evaluates the design information available at the time the report was prepared. Chapter 4 presents the results of stakeholder interactions, as well as safety and risk management considerations. Findings and recommendations are provided in each chapter and compiled in Chapter 5.
