About the Health and Safety Executive. Process Safety based on risk and performance indicators
Abstract
From the perspective of risk-based safety, the risk level of the risks in the process industry is not the same and it is necessary to identify larger risks, with the approach of the various resources available in the organization, which are often finite, in an optimal and effective manner. The section will be used. Measuring and monitoring performance indicators in this strategy is very important. These indicators provide a complete picture of the usefulness and effectiveness of the safety-related activities of the process, while identifying gaps and weaknesses in the system, will provide a good guide for complementary actions in order to enhance the safety of the process. In this paper, while describing the principles of safety of the risk-based process, its elements have been introduced and 105 functional indicators, including progressive and bottom-up, have been defined for it. From the indicators defined in this research, we can select the most suitable ones and use them to improve the safety of the process industries.
