Process Safety Purpose/Objectives: Improve process safety performance across the Australian oil and gas industry  Establish consistent reporting of process safety performance and trends.  Identify of opportunities for improvement  Increase awareness and develop a common understanding of process safety at all levels right across the industry  Build capability to reduce process safety risk across the industry –Information sharing, incidents, issues, solutions  Develop common approaches and tools

Process Safety History / Achievements:  Established in 2012 as a priority leadership project by the CEO safety leadership forum  Reporting of lag indicators (Tier 1 & 2 – API Standard) to APPEA; analyse and discuss incidents for sharing  Utilise APPEA High Potential Alerts to share in a timely way any incidents and root causes.  Process Safety Forum established, open to all APPEA members. By invitation include NOPSEMA/regulators; IChemE; service providers/contractors.  Commenced benchmark review of solutions developed in other oil provinces – strategies, guidelines and programs.
