SYNOPSIS

In view of the hazards and risks associated with production and, transportation of hydrocarbon, companies in the oil and gas industry have always given the pledge to have business top priority to the subject of safety. People may get injured or killed, and environment may be damaged. It is evident from the history that, if the hazards and risks are not managed properly, catastrophic disaster could happen, as in the case of Piper Alpha, Bhopal, or to the recent one at Macondo.
 
Managing safety has always remained a top challenge though. With the cost pressure and business sustenance, the pledge of maintaining a safe working environment as the top business priority will be tested.  This talk will look into past major incidents lesson learnt, and provide another lens of viewing safety management from organization behavior and culture perspective for business sustenance.
