As a young engineer, I had the privilege of working with renowned gas companies like BOC, Air Liquide, and Linde, where the emphasis on behavioral safety was paramount. We were trained in LeadSafe techniques, modeled after the DuPont STOP (DSS+ STOP) program, and also learned from case studies like the OPCAL Piper Alpha accident (1988), which starkly highlighted the importance of considering human factors in safety management. These experiences shaped my understanding of the critical role human factors play in safety.
With OCIMF (Oil Companies International Marine Forum) SIRE 2.0, which emphasizes human factors, scheduled to go live soon, Professor Patrick Hudson's Hudson Safety Ladder framework is a good starting point for shipping organizations to understand the different stages of safety maturity and to assess their organizations. This framework explains the different stages of organizational safety maturity, from a pathological approach to a generative state, aiming for world-class safety standards.

The development of a robust safety culture is crucial, where leadership and commitment to safety are evident at all levels of the organization. By fostering such a culture, we can ensure that safety becomes not just a priority but a core value embedded in every action we take.
🔧🚢 Let's continue to strive for excellence in safety, and together, we can achieve a safer and more resilient future for the maritime industry.
