Articles and safety moments that are included in this topic are to do with operational excellence and management assessments.
We have developed an Operational Excellence Assessment System to help address the challenge of capturing practical experience, and we decided to follow a similar thought process, i.e., first structure a system and second create a means of establishing a baseline.
The structure is organized around the 18 elements shown below. It is based on the traditional PSM elements but it also incorporates features directed toward field experience.
- Culture
- Compliance and Standards
- Risk Analysis
- Safety in Design
- Information Management
- Hazard Identification
- Written Procedures
- Safe Work Practices
- Asset Integrity/Reliability
- Training and Performance
- Management of Change
- Operations
- Maintenance
- Human Factors/Health
- Emergency Response
- Incident Investigation
- Operational Readiness
- Industries
