About Training
While learning what metrics are available in the O&G industry is important, the most crucial part is on what you do with the information that you have. This program will not only equip participants with the knowledge on what metrics to use, but also with the skills on how to utilize these data for the improvement of your safety & business performance.
Quantitative and qualitative safety metrics will be tackled. Participants will learn about trailing indicators & leading indicators, which will be useful for revealing safety improvement opportunities. Moreover, Delegates will learn about economic and technical ratios, system audits, composite formulations, and statistical and partial maintenance productivity indices. No specific set of metrics can be applicable to all operational activities. As such, this course takes an “adaptive” approach, focusing more on how you can apply metrics which best fit your operations. Case studies and intensive work sessions will be conducted to provide an avenue for knowledge exchange among industry peers.
Training Objectives
- IDENTIFY leading and lagging indicators to sustain safety standards within your company
- DEVELOP both retrospective and prospective way of looking at safety through measurable incident indicators
- INTEGRATE measurable metrics that best-fit your safety system
- BENCHMARK to best industry practices and evaluate how to adapt these metrics to current process safety programs
- KNOW what types of data are used for safety measurements and their implications
