Episode 62 - Top 10 Talk: Process Safety Red Flags
Listen now
Description
In today's episode, we bring you another Top 10 Talk, this time on practices we deem to be "process safety red flags". In this episode, John and Rob cover what they consider to be red flags pointing to the potential for systemic issues in a facility's process safety program. They'll cover management's attitude, prioritization, and resource allocation, approaches to documentation, including reliance on paper-based systems, lack of attention to detail and poor operational discipline, lack of urgency in maintaining safety critical assets, lack of understanding when it comes to hazards and how to properly manage them, change management processes, attitudes toward action item closures, contractor involvement, and more.  We want to know what you think; did we miss any process safety red flags, or have you experienced any of these at your facility? Leave us a voice message at the link below or send a note to [email protected].  And if you haven't already, check out our previous Top 10 Talks here (PHAs), here (Compliance Audits), and here (P&IDs). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/amplifyyourprocesssafety/message
