Integrating Human Factors Into the Design and Operations Risk Framework
21st October 2020 - 23rd October 2020
Overview
During this Masterclass, participants will discover the real challenges that face the Executive Management team and their senior HSE design and operations’ professionals, in building the organizational capabilities necessary to reduce the risk associated with human competence weaknesses to As Low as Is Reasonably Practicable, ALARP.
The key industry sectors covered will be the upstream, mid-stream and downstream oil, gas, petrochemicals and related business segments. However, given the nature of major accidents, the course is equally useful to senior professionals in the power, nuclear, railway and aviation industries.
The course will describe the best practices in the development of competency management systems and how management can identify of the types of human error and pre-conditions that increase the likelihood of error occurrence. The Masterclass will also cover several critical design and analysis tools that must be applied such that the ergonomic aspects of the human-machine interface are engineered to promote consistent safe behaviour.
Organisational cultural models and behaviours surveys will be described such that management may benchmark their business against the cultural maturity model. In addition, the principle characteristics of what are termed High Reliability Organisations, HROs will be explored. Such HRO principles are applied in complex high hazard industries such as the military aviation and nuclear submarine sectors.
A key aspect in promoting positive behaviours stems from the actions of leadership teams in the company and the best practice leadership approaches, including the effective use of management site visits to reinforce the quality, safety and reliability performance within their area of control will be explored.
A further critical area to be covered will be the training of indigenous staff to operate high hazard facilities in developing countries, which is critical to being awarded contracts and to continue to establish their business in e.g. Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
At the end of this wide-ranging and Masterclass, participants will be able to re-assess their own companies’ strengths and weaknesses in developing the capabilities and behaviours needed to maximise profitability and safety, within ever more complex technology and enhanced stakeholder expectations.
