Operational Excellence - A new buzz word but beware!

 OE is the present buzzword in process safety but I would like to quote the words of two participants in an OE workshop
"Technology delivers only part of the solution. People are still a very important aspect of day-to-day operations.”
“Technology takes you some way along the journey but fundamentally operations personnel's knowledge and competency is key to sustainable Operational Excellence.”

Learning from Incidents

 The late Dr Trevor Kletz in his book "learning from incidents"" writes:
"This book has been written to remember the dead and injured and to warn the living"
 Let us follow his advice and learn from all the incidents that have happened...this blog is a small effort to educate the living before they become the dead!! I have been posting since 2009 and hope that the contributions have made a small impact. If so, I am greatly satisfied...
