The challenges associated with field operations in the Oil and Gas, Petrochemical and Construction industries are significant. Managing operational uncertainty is at the forefront of those challenges. Whether we are attempting to improve existing operations or assess new opportunities, there is a vast landscape of systems and tools to effectively manage risk and meet our operational needs. Each challenge is likely unique in circumstance and in the approach needed to reduce the risk to be experienced with field operations.

We are big believers in beginning with your goals. What is it that you would like to accomplish? Or, what are the challenges you have encountered? Our goals should drive the actions we take; they should drive the systems we create. The right goal could provide structure to the narrative your culture is based on.
What begins as an effort to improve safety performance will likely evolve into an effort that improves leadership in general. The most important aspect of any effort within a company is employee buy-in. This is true for production and schedule goals, business initiatives, change management, and safety programs as well. Safety audits and inspections, safety training, safety meetings, and behavior-based programs are essential tools for the safety professional, but it is equally essential these tools are applied appropriately.
The foundation of safety management is built on what could be referred to as The Tools. The tools are field service functions conducted by employees or safety professionals, which are essential to a quality safety program. A basic list of these safety-based tools is below.
- Human Performance Improvement
- Risk Analysis
- Job Safety Analysis
- Behavior Based Safety
- Incident & Near-Miss Reporting
- Training
- Safety Auditing
- Gap Analysis
- Hazard Analysis
- Permitting
- Incident Investigation
- Monitoring/Sampling
These functions are important to the overall program and producing consistent results in safety performance, but as stated earlier it is important how these tools are applied at the field level.
Is the interaction contentious or team-based? Are our methods punitive or constructive and supportive? Do we mandate or do we lead? Framing our efforts with ideas such as these help us to position ourselves to provide the quality service needed to build a positive safety culture. The methodology associated with Human Performance Improvement is a key element in this effort.
It is essential to view Safety as a service, and the 1st service is provided to front-line employees who personally carry safety risk; a 2nd service is provided to front-line supervisors and project management who are responsible for the safety of their employees and the public; the 3rd and overall service is provided to senior management / principal stakeholders who are responsible for the safety of their employees, the public and all other risk associated with their business operations.
O‧S‧Inc understands how elements of Safety and Risk Management are interconnected with each level of an organization and how each level of the organization can affect business operations.
