Why was there no focus on major hazard risk on the Macondo? This is the question posed in the Macondo Blowout: The Human and Organisational Causes process safety training video. The distinction between process safety and personal safety that Hopkins makes, answers this question. It is important to understand the human and organisational causes discussed in this program so as to prevent such accidents from occurring.
The program is relevant to process safety management.
Key learning outcomes:
At the end of the workshop, participants will:
Understand how organisational structure may contribute to poor engineering decision making
Be aware of major hazard risk indicators
Be aware that preoccupation with profit before safety comes at a cost
Learn from other incidents
Understand defence in depth
Be aware of the multi-causal nature of accidents.
