This is an extract of the supporting information & guidance cards from the IOGP Process Safety Fundamentals documented in their Report 638.

  • We improve our understanding of process safety hazards at our location and our roles in controlling them.
  • We are vigilant about the potential impacts of uncontrolled process safety hazards.
  • We discuss process safety hazards before starting a task.
  • We bring forward process safety hazards to be included in activity risk assessments.

Tips for Managers:

  • Take time to discuss major accident hazards with frontline workers.
  • Check that risk assessments address both personal and process safety hazards.
  • Encourage front-line workers not to become desensitized to process safety hazards.

This page only summarises the guidance – refer to the IOGP report and/or IOGP website for further information.
