Operational excellence - an example

Chevron's tenets of operation is an excellent example of what process safety management should be! Their tenets, which I am quoting from this link in their website are

  1. "Always operate within design and environmental limits.
  2. Always operate in a safe and controlled condition.
  3. Always ensure safety devices are in place and functioning.
  4. Always follow safe work practices and procedures.
  5. Always meet or exceed customers’ requirements.
  6. Always maintain integrity of dedicated systems.
  7. Always comply with all applicable rules and regulations.
  8. Always address abnormal conditions.
  9. Always follow written procedures for high-risk or unusual situations.
  10. Always involve the right people in decisions that affect procedures and equipment".
I specially like the  last tenet. I see many companies NOT involving the right people in decisions that affect procedures and equipment.
