(12a) Effective Procedures and Process Safety

All companies that deal with process safety have procedures. Unfortunately most of these companies have no real idea of what "good" looks like, and knowledge of the error traps that increase the vulnerability of the people using the procedures. Without writers, reviewers, and approvers knowing these critical attributes, the person using procedures often gets "blamed" when problems occur.

This sessions will discus the role of effective procedures on process safety. We will discuss the Top 5 Procedure Error Drivers, and how to diagnose and reduce them to create more effective written guidance. This interactive session will provide the opportunity to understand the next logical steps in an organization improving their procedures.
