For some companies, the problem may not be assessment, but the next, and most difficult step implementation. Some plants are dragging their feet, due to budgetary and political issues, Sem says. An average sized chemical plant can easily spend from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars for site security - then, some plants have fence lines over a mile long, he adds. Right now, many companies know they should do more but can t see the forest for the trees. Generally, the most critical business processes should determine how to prioritize the intensity and focus of security efforts, says Troy Smith, senior vice president and practice leader for IT Security with the risk-assessment specialists, Marsh Inc. (New York City). 

A combination of performance improvement concepts and a particular approach to behavioral safety illustrates an additional change in how behavioral safety is offered and practiced. Aubrey Daniels Associates has been a notable and successftil practitioner in performance improvement for many years. In 2001, the safety aspects of the Aubrey Daniels organization was spun off and became a part of Marsh, Inc. under the leadership of William H. Grimes, Managing Director. Jerry Pounds, a practitioner in behavioral safety and formerly with Aubrey Daniels, has submitted a paper to ASSE for publication consideration, the title of which is Behavior-Based Safety Where Does It Go from Here ... 

To deal with uncertainties related to data collection and overcome the less-than-adequate data problem in this research, factual data from accident investigation reports and case studies were interpreted and then organised to fit the scheme presented in Figures 1,2 and 3. These accident reports were collected from insurance companies, regulatory bodies, commissions of inquiry, investigation boards and industry experts, such as MARSH Inc., the Australian Department of Industry and Resources (DoIR), the Australian National Petroleum Safety Authority (NOPSA), the Brazilian Nation ...

According to J H Marsh and McLennan, Inc., in the hydrocarbon processing industry (HPI) market data 2000 report (34), approximately 45% of large losses are because of mechanical failure of equipment. Equipment such as piping, tanks, reactors, process drums and towers, pumps and compressors, heat exchangers, heaters, and boilers fail regularly.

An opportunity in this area finally emerged in 1961. Ethicon Inc., of Rahway, New Jersey - a U.S. subsidiary of Johnson Johnson - invited CPD to bid on the design and supply of a cobalt-60 irradiator that would sterilize sutures, needles, and other disposable medical items. There was keen competition for the job between CPD and a British firm, H.S. Marsh Ltd., which had an arrangement with the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Agency whereby the latter provided it with technical support and sales staff for irradiators. CPD offered to build the facility at a very low price in order to gain entry to the field. Since the Ethicon irradiator would require a cobalt-60 source of 750,000 curies, this was an obvious sales tactic for a cobalt-60 producer like CPD. Ethicon was happy with the promised performance of the machine but, since this was CPD s first such installation, was not convinced that it could do the...
