This document, one of a range ofdocuments on good practice inhealth and safety management,is designed to support theprinciple of continualimprovement. It providespractical guidance on preventingthe most serious types of healthand safety incidents, referred tohere as material unwantedevents (MUEs).
This guidance document providesadvice on how to identify andmanage critical controls that caneither prevent a serious incidentoccurring in the first place orminimize the consequences if aserious incident were to occur.Both types of control are needed.Evidence from major incidentsin mining and metals, and inother industries, indicates thatalthough the risks were known,
the controls were not alwayseffectively implemented.Therefore, this documentprovides specific guidance on:
• identifying the critical controls
• assessing their adequacy
• assigning accountability fortheir implementation
• verifying their effectiveness
in practice.
The approach described in thisdocument is called criticalcontrol management (CCM).
CCM is well established andin use in many high-hazardindustries. However, this isthe first time this approachhas been captured in a singledocument designed specificallyfor the mining and metalsindustry. This would not havebeen possible without theguidance and support ofICMM member companies.
As with most new organizationalinitiatives, the successfulimplementation of CCM requiressenior executive support.This support is required interms of not only establishingCCM within companies, but inits ongoing implementation.The approach enables seniorleaders to more effectivelyexercise their leadership rolein safety as a result of the
transparency brought to bearby applying CCM. Under CCM,critical controls should beclearly described, and theirrequired performance and theaccountability for implementingthe controls should be madeexplicit. This should permitsenior leaders to participateeven more effectively inmanaging the risks of majorincidents. Committed leadership
through the active monitoringof CCM across the mining andmetals industry is essentialfor the long-term success ofthe approach.

Aim
The document provides advice onhow to identify and manage criticalcontrols that can either prevent aserious incident occurring in the firstplace or minimize the consequencesif a serious incident were to occur.This document provides specificguidance on:
• identifying the critical controls
• assessing their adequacy
• assigning accountability for theirimplementation
• verifying their effectiveness inpractice.
Structure
This guidance document utilizes anumber of steps that an organizationcan use to structure their approach toCCM. This document describes:
• the background and aim of theCCM process
• guidance to prepare an organizationfor the CCM process
• nine steps to develop the CCMprocess
• annexes providing additionalguidance on:
– a CCM journey model andmapping tool to help organizationsassess status and progress
– critical controls
– lead and lag indicators.
Preparation for theCCM process
The CCM process outlined here is astep-by-step approach where theprocess is divided between planningand implementation. It is importantfor an organization undertaking CCMto have the right skills, experienceand resources to implement it to ahigh standard. The organizationshould also have buy-in from seniorexecutives. Such support is a
fundamental characteristic of theorganizational maturity required tosucceed with CCM.
If an organization is unsure whetherit is mature enough to begin, it isrecommended that the organizationundertake a review of its readiness toadopt CCM. This guidance documentincludes an analysis tool that mighthelp identify that readiness: the CCM journey model and mapping tool.The tool is structured as a journeychart, with each step of the journey
describing an increased level ofcontrol management culture andpractices. The tool can help map theorganization’s current status, as wellas provide ideas for moving towardsCCM by establishing the requiredfoundation (see Annex A).
Once an organization has assessedits maturity and established theappropriate foundation, it is ready toproceed with the process.

INTRODUCTION
This documentprovides advice onMUEs – guidance onmanaging criticalcontrols that alignsrisk management andgood managementpractice. CCM is anintegral part of riskmanagement andaids in identifyingthe priority risks ina company andimplementing criticalcontrols to preventan incident ormitigate its impact.

Bowtie analysis (BTA)An analytical method for identifyingand reviewing controls intended toprevent or mitigate a specificunwanted event.
CauseA brief statement of the reason for anunwanted event (other than the failureof a control).
ConsequenceA statement describing the finalimpact that could occur from the
material unwanted event (MUE). It isusual to consider this in terms of themaximum foreseeable loss.
ControlAn act, object (engineered) or system(combination of act and object)intended to prevent or mitigate anunwanted event.
Critical controlA control that is crucial topreventing the event or mitigating
the consequences of the event.The absence or failure of a criticalcontrol would significantly increasethe risk despite the existence of theother controls. In addition, a controlthat prevents more than one unwantedevent or mitigates more than oneconsequence is normally classifiedas critical.
Critical control management (CCM)A process of managing the risk ofMUEs that involves a systematicapproach to ensure critical controls
are in place and effective.
HazardSomething with the potential forharm. In the context of people, assetsor the environment, a hazard istypically any energy source that, ifreleased in an unplanned way, cancause damage.
Material unwanted event (MUE)An unwanted event where thepotential or real consequence exceedsa threshold defined by the companyas warranting the highest level ofattention (eg a high-level health orsafety impact).
Mitigating controlA control that eliminates or reducesthe consequences of the unwantedevent.
Preventing control
A control that reduces the likelihoodof an unwanted event occurring.
RiskThe chance of something happeningthat will have an impact on objectives.It is usually measured in terms ofevent likelihood and consequences.
Unwanted eventA description of a situation wherethe hazard has or could possiblybe released in an unplanned way,
including a description of theconsequences.
Verification activitiesThe process of checking the extent towhich the performance requirementsset for a critical control are beingmet in practice. Company health andsafety management systems mightuse a variety of terms for “verification”activities. Common terms includeaudit, review, monitoring and activemonitoring.

Summary
CCM consists of nine steps, six ofwhich are required to plan the CCMprogram before implementing themin the last three steps, as seen inFigure 1.
This document provides guidance foreach step in the process, as well askey actions and selected health andsafety examples.
Each step might require revisitingthe previous step to achieve thedesired outcome. For example,the loop from Step 7 to Step 6indicates the potential need torevisit information from the planningsteps when site implementation isdefined. This might occur becausethe site control performance variesfrom assumptions made at theplanning stage.
Each step in the process has a targetoutcome that should be achieved
before moving to the next step.Table 1 summarizes all steps andoutcomes.
The following pages provide astep-by-step outline of the CCMprocess.

8 Health and safety critical control management Good practice guide
CRITICAL CONTROL MANAGEMENTSTEP 1: Planning the process
The first step of the CCM process is tocarefully scope out and plan the work.This includes planning what definitions,criteria and actions will need to becarried out, what areas of an organizationand/or specific people will be involved,and over what timeframe. The followingquestions should be considered (each iselaborated on in subsequent steps):
• What is the organizational context?Are there existing projects at a corporate,business unit or site level thatcomplement or conflict with this work?
• What is the objective and what are thespecific deliverables of the project?
• What sections of the business will beinvolved?
• What method will be used to identifypotential hazards?
• What methods will be used to identifyunwanted events?
• What methods will be used to assess therisk of the identified unwanted events,including the criteria for a MUE?
• What method will be used to review MUEcontrols?
• What will the criteria be for criticalcontrol selection?
• What will the criteria be for assessingthe objectives and performance of thecritical controls?
• How will the verification processes bedefined?
• How will ownership and accountability
be defined?
• How can critical control information beadapted to become site-specific?
• How will critical control performance beverified in practice and what actions willbe taken if requirements are not met?
• What methods will be used to investigatecritical control underperformance?
• How will the impact of the CCM initiativewill be measured?
Scoping for a major initiative shouldconsider additional resources such asleadership, facilitation, project teammembership, timing and budget.
Key actions• Develop a plan that describes the scope of the project.
This includes:
– organizational context
– project objectives
– responsibilities
– business sections involved.
• Develop methods to:
– identify potential hazards and unwanted events
– assess risk
– review MUEs
– select critical controls– assess objectives and performance of critical controls
– investigate critical control underperformance
– measure impact of the project
– identify ownership and accountability.
Target outcome
A plan that describes the scope of a project, including what needs to bedone, by whom and the timescales.

Health and safety critical control management Good practice guide 9
CRITICAL CONTROL MANAGEMENTSTEP 2: Identify material unwanted events (MUEs)
Identify material unwanted events (MUEs)Identification of MUEs needs to considerhistorical as well as foreseeable eventsgiven the operations and activities atindividual sites. As a result, identification ofMUEs needs to include suitably experiencedpersonnel and a review of relevant data.This will need to include the history fromthe site, company and the industry morewidely. This is because some incidents,while rare, are potentially disastrous.For example, underground ignition ofmethane by lightning is rare but it isforeseeable and potentially disastrous.
Materiality criteriaMateriality criteria define the thresholdthat a risk must exceed before beingconsidered a material risk. The perceivedlikelihood of an event by any one individualmight be inaccurate, especially forlow-probability/high-consequence events.It is recommended that materiality shouldbe defined based on consequences, suchas the maximum foreseeable loss.
Examples of MUEs
The following table is a list of typicalmining- and metals-related MUEs basedon historical analysis.
Key actions• Understand major hazards and identify potential MUEs.
• Apply selection criteria to MUEs with a focus on the consequences.
• Identify design opportunities to address the hazard, reducing thepotential consequences and eliminating the MUE from theCCM process.
• Describe the identified MUE, including the relevent hazard,mechanism of release and nature of the consequences.
Target outcome
Identify the MUEs that need to be managed.

CRITICAL CONTROL MANAGEMENTSTEP 3: Identify controls
The purpose of Step 3 is to identify allthe controls – both existing ones andpotential new ones – before identifyingwhich of the controls are the criticalcontrols in Step 4.
Identify controlsIn most cases, controls will already existas a result of previous risk-assessmentwork, experience within the company orindustry from incidents, or as a result oflegislation and associated guidance. Thisstage recommends that each identifiedMUE should be reviewed to check that the
appropriate controls have been identified.
What is a control?Deciding on what is or is not a control isa key step. The following guidance isavailable:
• the definitions at the start of thisdocument
• the control identification decisiontree (see Figure 2)
• example of a critical control system
given in Step 5 (see Table 3).
Key actions• Identify the controls.
• Prepare a bowtie diagram.
• Assess the adequacy of the bowtie and the controls.
Target outcome
Identify controls for MUEs, both existing controls and possible newcontrols. Prepare a bowtie diagram.

CRITICAL CONTROL MANAGEMENTSTEP 3: Identify controls continued
Too many controlsExperience from other industriessuggests that it is possible to identifya large number of plans, processesand tools that can be inappropriatelyclassified as controls. This leads tounnecessarily complex bowtiesthat dilute the attention needed toeffectively implement those controlsthat can have a direct impact onpreventing and/or mitigating an MUE.Some examples of inappropriatecontrols are:
• management plans
• risk-assessment techniques suchas Step Back 5 x 5
• behaviour-based safety tools.
All of the above are important partsof health and safety managementsystems but are not specific topreventing or mitigating an MUE.Management plans might describecontrols, risk-assessment techniquesmight lead to controls being identified
and behaviour-based safety toolsmight tell us something about howcontrols are working or not working.However, they are not controlsthemselves as defined by thisguidance document.
This guidance document mightdemonstrate that many activities,previously thought to be controls, donot fit the definition or the purpose.For example, previously mentionedprocedures, rules and expectedpractices are not controls. Similarly,
training, supervision, maintenanceand other plans are not controls.
What is a good control?Good controls meet the definitionsgiven in this document and meet thecriteria in the control identificationdecision tree in Figure 2. In addition,they have the following
characteristics:• they are specific to preventing an
MUE or minimizing itsconsequences
• the performance required of thecontrol can be specified
• their performance can be verified.
Further guidance on controlsAdditional information and guidanceon controls can be found in Annex B.
Prepare a bowtieProprietary tools are available, butbowties can also be drawn by hand(eg on a whiteboard) or developed withstandard office productivity software.
There is no one right way to developa bowtie (see as an example inFigure 3). However, this is a criticalstage and the bowtie should beprepared by careful reference to thedefinitions at the start of thisdocument and the additional guidance
given on controls in Annex B.
It is usual to start with the MUE byasking:
• What are the possible causes thatcould lead to the MUE?
• What controls are in place (or could
be put in place) to prevent the causeleading to the MUE?
• What are the maximum foreseeableconsequences of the MUE?(It is usual at this stage to assumethere are no controls in place,which is sometimes referred to aslow-risk.)
• What controls are in place or couldbe introduced to reduce thepossibility of the consequencesoccurring?
Assess the adequacy of the bowtieand the controlsOnce the bowtie is developed, itshould be reviewed:
• to confirm that the controls areappropriate and relevant for eachcause and/or consequence
• against the hierarchy of control –is there overdependence onpeople-type controls compared withengineering controls, which arehigher up the hierarchy of control?

CRITICAL CONTROL MANAGEMENTSTEP 4: Select the critical controls
What is a critical control?The starting point for this step isthe bowties developed in Step 3.The controls identified on the bowtieshould be assessed to determine ifthey are critical controls.
The following questions can help todetermine if a control is critical:
• Is the control crucial to preventingthe event or minimizing theconsequences of the event?
• Is it the only control, or is it backedup by another control in the eventthe first fails?
• Would its absence or failuresignificantly increase the riskdespite the existence of the othercontrols?
• Does it address multiple causes orof mitigate multiple consequencesthe MUE? (In other words, if itappears in a number of placeson the bowtie or on a number ofbowties, this may indicate that it
is critical.)
Critical control decision treeThe decision tree in Figure 4 providedby an ICMM member may also helpdetermine if a control is critical.
Note that the decision tree indicatesthat selecting a critical control may bean iterative process and could involvereviewing several aspects of a controlbefore deciding whether it meets thecriteria for a critical control.
Key actions• When identifying critical controls, apply the critical control definition
and guidance in this section.
• Consider the performance requirements of the potential criticalcontrols and how they could be verified.
• The final set of critical controls for an MUE should represent thecritical few that, when managed using CCM, can effectively managethe MUE risk.
Target outcome
Identify the critical controls for the MUE.

CRITICAL CONTROL MANAGEMENTSTEP 5: Define performance and reporting
Step 5 involves examining theobjectives, performance requirements(including current performance) andreporting mechanisms for a criticalcontrol. The following questionsshould be considered when definingeach of these points:
• What are the specific objectives ofeach critical control?
• What performance is required of thecritical control? (This is sometimesreferred to as a performancestandard.)
• What activities support or enablethe critical control to perform asrequired and specified?
• What checking is needed to verifythat the critical control is meetingits required performance? Howfrequent is the verification needed?What type of verification is needed?
• What would initiate immediateaction to shut down or change anoperation or improve the
performance of a critical control?
Control information summaryFor each critical control the followinginformation is needed:
• The name of the critical control
• What are the specific objectives ofthe critical control?
• What performance is needed fromthe critical control?
• What activities support the
performance of the control to thestandard?
• What verification activities areneeded to ensure the critical controlis meeting its requiredperformance?
An example of a critical controlsystem for a specific MUE is providedin Table 3.
Key actions• Define objectives and performance requirements for each critical
control.
• Identify current activities that affect the critical control’sperformance.
• Describe activities to verify performance and reportingrequirements.
• Identify what would trigger immediate action to stop or change theoperation and/or impose the performance of the critical control.
Target outcome
Define the critical controls’ objectives, performance requirements andhow performance is verified in practice.

CRITICAL CONTROL MANAGEMENTSTEP 6: Assign accountability
To ensure the risk of an MUE is beingmanaged, the controls must beworking effectively. This requires thehealth of the controls to be monitoredthrough verification activities that areassigned to specific (or multiple)owners. This can be described in averification and reporting plan.
The verification and reporting planmust include:
• an MUE owner (this should be asenior line manager responsible for
the operation)
• a critical control owner, who shouldbe a line manager responsible foroperations (they are responsible formonitoring the health of the criticalcontrols through review ofverification activity reports)
• a verification activity owner,responsible for undertaking andreporting the verification activityoutcome
• a communication plan among all
owners (see as an example Figure 5)
• a description of verification activities
• an owner for the review ofverification reports at a senior linemanagement level.
An example of a verification andreporting plan for a health MUE ispresented in Table 4.
Key actions• Assign owners for MUEs, critical controls and verification activities.
• Describe reporting plan for the health of critical controls.
• Assign owner for review of reports.
Target outcome
A list of the owners for each MUE, critical control and verificationactivity. A verification and reporting plan is required to verify and reporton the health of each control.

Steps 1 to 6 may have taken place at thecorporate or business unit level in acompany that has similar sites and thereforecommon MUEs. Step 7 requires that theprevious steps be reviewed to ensure theyare appropriate and applicable to each site.
Figure 6 describes the process required todevelop a site specific MUE control strategyand subsequent implementation and rollout. It involves taking the corporate orbusiness unit MUE control strategydeveloped in steps 1 to 6 and adjusting it tosuit the local context.
A site-specific approach for a MUE shouldinclude an overall MUE verification andreporting plan, subsections of which define aspecific critical control owner’s verificationplan and the individual verification activitiesfor a critical control. The site specificstrategy may need to be tested with thecorporate or business unit level beforeproceeding. Once agreed, a plan toimplement the strategy at the site willneed to be developed. The plan shouldinclude leadership, accountabilities, a
communications plan, standards anddeveloping knowledge and understandingrelated to the critical controls.
The feedback loop between Steps 6 and 7,as shown in the CCM process diagramabove, indicates the iterative aspect ofStep 7 where the site submits their CCMplans to the corporate or business unitbefore finalization.
Key actions• Critical control information must be specific to a site or asset.
• Adjust the critical control definition, performance information andverification requirements as necessary to suit the local context.
• Site-specific planning for implementation may involve aniterative process.
• Site-specific planning should include establishing a foundation forCCM that includes leadership, communication and appropriatedevelopment of knowledge and understanding related to thecritical controls.
Target outcome
Defined MUE verification and reporting plans, and an implementationstrategy based on site-specific requirements.

CRITICAL CONTROL MANAGEMENTSTEP 9: Response to inadequate critical control performance continued
For the inadequate performance of thecritical control in an incident:
• What critical controls failed?
• How did the critical control fail orperform inadequately?
• What were the causes of the failureor inadequate performance of thecritical control? In order todetermine the cause it can behelpful to ask the “5 Whys”.
Based on the answers to the last
question, the following sample criticalcontrol questions might also behelpful:
• Was the critical control designed tooperate in the incident situation?
• Was the description of the criticalcontrol performance requirementsadequate?
• Did the defined critical controlperformance requirements includethe management activities that arerequired to ensure its function inthe circumstances of the incident?
• Did the owners and operators of thecritical control understand itsobjective, design and operation(ie are they suitably trained and/orexperienced)?
• Was the appropriate critical controldocumentation available to allrelevant control operators?
• Did the verification activities checkthe status of the control in a manner
that could have avoided theincident?
• Did the verification reporting systemcommunicate critical control statusprior to the incident to initiaterequired action and to prevent theincident?
The investigation of critical controlfailures and a subsequent criticalcontrol review process shouldestablish required improvements orchanges related to the critical control,including modification of performancerequirements and the verificationactivities, or even replacement of thecritical control with another control.
As such, critical control failureinvestigation and review providesimportant lessons learned forcontinuous improvement of the CCM
– hence, its circular design.
Note that investigation might alsosuggest a review of the MUE or theaddition of a new MUE, requiring areturn to Step 2.

APPENDIX BGuidance on critical controls
Method to assess control adequacyFigure B1 shows a sample controladequacy analysis method developedby an ICMM member. This exampleincludes three control schemes:people based, system based andengineering based.
The illustration shows seven levelsof event severity where Level 7 is thehighest. It also suggests that the mosteffective controls for the highest-severity levels are engineering based(or objects), that is Control Level 4, 5
and 6. Note that control levels equateto levels of reliability.This frameworkcan assist with discussion on theadequacy of controls for severeconsequences or an MUE.
Following is an overview of the supportinformation for Figure B1.
People-based controlsThese rely on the skills, knowledgeand experience of individuals orgroups. Control actions (or acts) are
initiated by individuals based on theirskills, knowledge and experience andon their interpretation of theorganization’s values and objectives.Given the reliance on people, thereliability of people-based controlsmay vary over time. People-basedcontrols (or acts) have three levels ofadequacy based on considerationssuch as degree to which peopleunderstand the roles andresponsibilities, how skilled andtrained they are and the overall levelof process discipline. Note that even
the highest-level control, a Level 3,is not seen to be adequate for high-severity consequences or MUEs.
System-based controlsThese are executed by individualswithin the bounds of a managementsystem. Execution is based on aprescribed approach either as acommon practice or as a definedprocedure and in some instances,input from people is governed bysystem-set rules and protocols.
Control reliability is achieved throughthe system surrounding the control,including management review andfollow-up. Systems-based controlspotentially range in adequacy fromLevel 1 to Level 5, where Level 5 is
suitable for an MUE. A Level 5 system-based control has a documentedprocedure including document control,there are system-set rules andprotocols (access, authority levels,expected control range), operators aretrained in the procedure including
periodic assessment, control outcomeperformance is clearly defined andverified (similar to the suggestedCCM approach) and the system designis covered by a rigorous changemanagement process.
Engineering-based controls (or objects) These execute automatically and donot require human intervention.Engineering-based controls mayinclude both hardware and automatedIT-based controls. Engineering controlsare designed to achieve a specific
repeatable level of control to a set levelof availability. Reliability of engineeringcontrols is achieved through themanagement system surrounding theongoing review and improvement ofthe controls performance. Engineeringcontrols can achieve the highest levelof adequacy ranging from 4 to 6.Levels 5 and 6 are suitable for MUEs.These controls are designed andimplemented to specific performancecriteria (availability and reliability), aremanaged as part of a preventative
maintenance system, have a system-generated alarm/notification in theevent of control failure and havemanagement follow-up of systemdeficiencies, and there is a rigorousmanagement of change.
This method can be used to establisha control level for an individual controlby assigning the relevant adequacyrating (green, yellow or red) based onconsideration of the control level andpotential consequence. The methodcan be repeated for all controls in the
MUE bowtie analysis (BTA). Also, thegraphic BTA can be modified to showthe relevant colour for each control.
Once every control in the BTA iscategorized red, yellow or green, theBTA can be evaluated to consider theoverall risk-control strategy. As aguide, tolerable risks will have atleast one green control per cause.As a result of applying this controladequacy analysis method to an MUEBTA, there should be an opportunity to:
• confirm that the overall MUE controlstrategy is adequate and the risk istolerable, or
• identify causes for which controlenhancements are required.
Successful definition of a well-derivedBTA for the selected MUE, whichincludes agreement that the overallcontrol strategy is adequate, willprovide the basis for critical controlselection in Step 4. An example of aBTA is provided in Figure B2.
Other analysis methods for examiningcontrol design adequacy or overallcontrol effectiveness are availablein Hassall, M, Joy, J, Doran, C andPunch, M (2015).

APPENDIX CCCM lead and lag indicators continued
The UK HSE suggests that both lagand lead indicators should be usedfor MUE risk management.The illustration below is from theirguide, Developing process safety indicators (Health and Safety Executive(HSE) 2006). Their focus is the “riskcontrol system”, which we canconsider synonymous with our CCMsystem – the result of applying theCCM process in this document.
Like the UK HSE, this documentrecommends that both lag and lead
indicators be established to measurethe CCM system.
These measures can also be usedto define key performance indicatorsat various levels of the organization.The CCM process defines verificationand reporting activities. For additionalinformation relating to the importanceof developing key performanceindicators, please refer to InternationalAssociation of Oil & Gas Producers(2011).
This ICMM document alsorecommends regular review of theentire CCM process and system in
order to identify the degree to whichthe initiative is being implemented andoperated to expectations. An annualreview of the CCM initiative couldinvolve a gap analysis comparingactual status with the original scopeand the detailed execution of allsteps in the process, including themeasurement of performance and theuse of key performance indicators.
This information can also assist withthe continuous improvement of theCCM process.
Additional information on leadingindicators can also be found in theICMM publication Overview of leading indicators for occupational health and safety in mining (ICMM 2012).
