How to Design Safe Processes – Learning from others’ mistakes

Presented at Joint GPA Europe / GPA GCC Annual Conference held in Athens, 21 - 23 September 2016 by
Chris Flower, ABB Ltd
Abstract:
Errors are inevitably made within the design process and some of these can lead to unsafe process and plants.  Oil and Gas companies have been introducing 3rd party process safety reviews in order to identify and eliminate these before final design and construction.  The findings from twenty-two such gas processing projects were reviewed in order to identify common themes and pitfalls.  These were broken down into three categories: procedural; managerial; and behavioural.  This paper will describe the findings from this review and will share recommendations on how to improve the Contractor / Operator Project Management Team relationships and procedures in order to provide safer process designs.
