Alternatively named ‘STEWARDSHIP‘ to reinforce the principle that this is not the sole responsibility of senior roles (i.e. ‘Managers‘) to create and sustain safe assets & activities. Everyone who contributes to and/or may be affected by process safety & process integrity has a part to play.
Unlike LoC or Ignition cards, these are not based around Events. The 13 ‘Stewardship’ or PSM elements are assigned to the 13 playing cards in each of the 4 suits starting from the 2 up to 10 then J, K, Q and Ace.
Cards can be used at all levels from the Boardroom to the Control Room e.g. ‘players’ are dealt a card from the deck and have to briefly summarise their understanding of and contribution to the element on the card.
Playing cards illustrate and summarise the elements of Process Safety Management (PSM) systems including OSHA “Process Safety Management“, CCPS “Risk Based Process Safety” framework and the Energy Institute “High Level Framework for Process Safety Management“
Supporting guidance makes due reference to key Leading & Lagging Process Safety Performance Indicators (PSPI) from industry sources including:
- IOGP 456 “Process safety – recommended practice on key performance indicators”
- API 754 “Process Safety Performance Indicators For The Refining And Petrochemical Industries“
- HSG 254 “Developing process safety indicators: A step-by-step guide for chemical and major hazard industries“
- IChemE Safety Centre ISC “Lead Process Safety Metrics – selecting, tracking and learning“:
This deck can be summarised as a framework which is “All for one and one for all” i.e. inclusive and informative with a simple core of:
- How Dangerous is it ?
- Determine the Hazards, Events & Risks
- Make it Safe !
- Fit for purpose
- Implement appropriate protection measures (designed to be big enough, fast enough, and strong enough)
- Fit for purpose
- Keep it Safe !
- Fit for Duty
- Ensure operations activity does not disable the protection
- Ensure permanent modifications do not delete the protection
- Ensure temporary modifications do not defeat the protection
- Fit for Service
- Ensure maintenance inactivity does not allow the protection to degrade.
- Fit for Duty
