Safety management system overview

The conclusions for company B are similar to company A in that safety was ignored from several individual or local standpoints, mainly by product quality and cost constraints, lack of historical information about deviations and lack of experienced people. This contributes to the main weakness of the safety management system, which are a lack of overview of deviations, their underlying latent conditions and of their influences on the safety barriers in the operational process.

Safety management systems can suffer incidents for a number of reasons. It is important to implement an effective system wellness plan to make sure the prognosis for all systems in an organization remains positive. That is what an evaluation is all about to determine the wellness of the system [3]. Table 17-6 lists symptoms of an ailing system, and Table 17-7 gives an overview of causes producing the symptoms. 

Risk Management This first chapter provides an overview ot satety management in the offshore oii and gas industry. Trends within the industry are discussed, aiong with an assessment ot the impact of the Deepwater Horizon incident. A description of the different types of safety— occupationai, process and technicai —is provided, aiong with a description of Safety Management Systems. 

Formal Safety Analysis A brief oven/iew of some of the technical analyses used to build a Safety Management System, primarily in the design phase, is provided. An overview of the topic of risk quantification is also provided. 

As indicated previously, some introduction to the concept and method of PSSR at a given facility is often presented as part of a process safety management system new employee overview. But two major categories of personnel may benefit from special consideration - the first category is your facility s PSSR leaders and team members and the second is your management team and the remainder of the workforce. 

What is organizational culture Why is it considered essential to the development of an effective safety management system Let s begin with an overview of definitions of culture. 

While the fundamental concepts of a safety management system can be the same, we will discuss in Chapter 5, Overview of Basic Safety Management Systems , how it is deployed and sustained will vary based on the organization s culture. Program elements, safety-related... 

For example, to improve the safety culture, one goal may be to implement a structured safety management system as discussed in Chapter 5, Overview of Basic Safety Management... 

In Chapter 5 we will discuss an Overview of Basic Safety Management Systems and in Chapter 6 we will continue our discussion on Selecting Your Process . In these chapters, we will discuss approaches for developing a foundation for a successful safety process and define what a safety process should look like structurally. Do not assume people know what is being done ... 

As issues with the current safety culture and the safety management system are identified, the PDCA/DMAIC concepts provide a framework for administration of the safety management system elements. Refer to Figure 6.2 for an Overview of the DMAIC and the PDCA Processes Relationship . 

Step 6 Develop a macro overview using organizational charts, a network map, and how diagram of the current safety management system process. 

Once the basic safety management system elements as discussed in Chapter 5, Overview of Basic Safety Management Systems , are implemented and deemed successful, your organization has reached a maturity that will allow you to move to the next level. The intent is to ensure that the organization has the initial fundamentals in place before taking on an advanced safety management system.

This book has attempted to provide an overview of the topic of offshore safety management—with a particular focus on technical and process safety, and the avoidance of catastrophic events. The development of process safety management systems such as SEMS and technical safety systems, such as the Formal Safety Assessment part of safety cases, has been discussed in depth. Although it is diffictilt to pin down how much improvement such systems have generated, there can be little doubt that they have been effective at reducing the number and severity of offshore accidents.

This chapter provides an overview of a management system for investigating process safety incidents. It opens with a review of management responsibilities and presents the important features that a management system must address to be effective. It examines systematic approaches that help implement incident investigation teams, root cause determinations, recommendations, follow-up, and documentation. 

In the previous chapters the purposes of near miss reporting have been outlined and a framework of designing such a safety management tool has been presented. The importance of human behaviour as a dominant factor in incident sequences was stressed by developing a system failure classification scheme largely based on a theoretical model of operator behaviour. Also an overview was given of the organisational factors necessary for a successful implementation of a NMMS.
