Process SafetyPurpose/Objectives:Improve process safety performance across the Australian oil and gas industry Establish consistent reporting of process safety performance and

trends. Identify of opportunities for improvement Increase awareness and develop a common understanding of process

safety at all levels right across the industry Build capability to reduce process safety risk across the industry –

Information sharing, incidents, issues, solutions Develop common approaches and tools

Process SafetyHistory / Achievements: Established in 2012 as a priority leadership project by the CEO safety

leadership forum Reporting of lag indicators (Tier 1 & 2 – API Standard) to APPEA;

analyse and discuss incidents for sharing Utilise APPEA High Potential Alerts to share in a timely way any

incidents and root causes. Process Safety Forum established, open to all APPEA members. By

invitation include NOPSEMA/regulators; IChemE; service providers/contractors.

Commenced benchmark review of solutions developed in other oil provinces – strategies, guidelines and programs. (UK HSE, O&G UK, IChemE, CCPS)
