PRINCIPLES AND STRATEGIES TO ASSIST IN THE PREVENTION OF MAJOR ACCIDENTS

Process safety management (PSM) systems are only as effective as the day-to-day ability of the organization—including workers at all levels—to rigorously execute system requirements correctly every time. Conduct of Operations and Operational Discipline: For Improving Process Safety in Industry details management practices which will help every organization ensure strong PSM performance and overall operational excellence.

Part of the Wiley CCPS Concept books that complement the more comprehensive Guidelines series, this resource helps organizations design and implement conduct of operations (COO)—the ongoing management systems—and operational discipline (OD) systems—the deliberate and structured execution of the COO and other organizational management systems by personnel throughout the organization. Readers will find ideas and methods on how to design and implement COO and OD systems, correct deficient COO and OD systems, or improve existing COO and OD systems. Chapters describe:

• Definitions of conduct of operations and operational discipline
• Guidance on determining whether an improved COO and OD program is required within the organization
• The benefits of implementing a COO and OD system
• The important role that management leadership has in successful implementation of the system
• Human factors issues that are important in either setting up the system or in identifying solutions to performance problems
• Key attributes of a COO and OD system
• How to monitor and continuously improve COO and OD performance
