Risk Management Professionals
SPE Summit: The Human Factor, Process Safety and Culture
The National Commission on the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and
Offshore Drilling set out the need for sweeping reforms that would
accomplish no less than a fundamental transformation of the oil and
gas industry's safety culture. This two-day SPE Summit's goal is to
map out mechanisms and actions that will accomplish this radical
change from an organizational and an individual standpoint. It will
focus on how E&P professionals make use of the information they
receive during critical events and how this translates into
decisions that lead to specific actions.
|
 |
The Summit is scheduled for July 18-19th, 2012 in
Houston, Texas. Additional details are available
here.
