2. Safety Culture
Safety cultures consist of shared beliefs, practices, and attitudes that exist at an establishment.
Culture is the atmosphere created by those beliefs, attitudes, etc., which shape our behavior.
positive attitudes towards compliance (meeting and exceeding minimum standards);
feel responsible for public safety, and protection of the environment, for each other’s safety, and for the health of the business;
and fundamentally believe in non-punitive reporting.
Safety as a core value with participation at all levels. Examples: wearing a hard hat to walk from car to office. Wearing a vest and steel-toes on the property even when sitting at a desk, start every meeting with a safety message or having a daily huddle with a safety message

3. Pipeline Safety Management System
A systematic way to identify hazards and control risks while maintaining assurance that these risk controls are effective.
Guidelines for the facilitation of a good
safety culture.
Activities combine to make processes. SMS addresses the process as a whole instead of individual activities. (such as manufacturing, installing, regulating etc.)
Other industries have already been using these for over 20 years and DOT issued a final rule for FAA in January 2015 that requires most commercial airlines to have SMS in place by 2018.

4. Collaborative Approach
Risk Management - Sometimes we have bad policies and processes in place.
NTSB 2014– Chris Hart “If you’ve got good people who aren’t following the rules there is probably a reason.”
Where is the problem? With the person or the system? Usually it is the interaction between the two. Focus on improvement and not on punishment.
manufacturing, installing, regulating etc. – how can we work together to become more than our sum (synergize)

5. System Think Identify Issues Prioritize the Issues Develop solutions
Evaluate the solutions
Collaboration – A process that is built with all parties is more likely to be implemented and is more likely to be incrementally improved as time goes on
System Think brings everyone together to look at a complex system collaboratively – look at the big pictures and how the parts interact

6. NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board)
Accident Investigators across all of DOT including pipelines
Results of these investigations are recommendations
Many other industries have SMS programs and some have been in effect for over 20 years already
Result of an investigation surrounding an incident in 2012: pipeline industry needs to look at having it's own SMS program, recommended API write an RP

7. API/ANSI RP 1173 Framework to reveal and manage risk
Promote a learning environment
Continuously improve pipeline safety and integrity
API identifies what is to be done, and leaves the details associated with implementation and maintenance of the requirements to the individual pipeline operators

8. PDCA Cycle
i. PLAN– The ‘Plan’ step includes the establishment of goals and objectives, including output expectations and setting key performance indicators.
ii. DO– The ‘Do’ step is the execution of planned activities.
iii. CHECK – The ‘Check’ step is a review of performance indicators and activity results compared with planned objectives.
iv. ACT – The ‘Act’ step develops and implements improvements identified through the ‘Check’ step. Activities in the ‘Act’ step may feed into establishment of a new round of goals, objectives and performance indicators in the ‘Plan’ step and a new round of the PDCA cycle.

9. PHMSA fully supports the implementation of RP 1173 and plans to promote vigorous conformance to this voluntary standard. 
Written Statement of Administrator Marie Therese Dominguez before the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure on Pipeline Reauthorization, Feb 25, 2016
PHMSA is committed to adopting the implementation of SMS internally and supporting it externally
They have consulted with other industries that have had programs for over 20 years.
Aviation, Chemical, Maritime… etc.

8) Emergency Preparedness And Response
9) Competence, Awareness, And Training
10) Documentation And Recordkeeping

12. Leadership Commitment
Top Management
Demonstrate commitment
Establish goals and measurable objectives
Make communication, risk reduction and continuous improvement routine for the company
Support and resource allocation

13. Leadership Commitment
Management
Ensure a clear connection between objectives of the plan and day-to-day work activities
Ensure plans, policies and procedures are in place
Establish performance measures for personnel responsible for SMS elements
Conduct regular reviews of progress
Implementing, maintaining and adhering to processes

14. Leadership Commitment
Employees
Identify and report risks
Identify potential improvements
Take action to prevent or minimize incidents
Identifying and reporting hazards

15. Stakeholder Engagement
Internal - communicate SMS goals, objectives, and procedures. Give employees and contractors a way to raise concerns and make recommendations for improvements.
Includes employees and contractors
External - communicate SMS operations, efforts, and performance.
Includes regulatory bodies and representatives of the public

16. Risk Management Identify and assess threats
Plan to mitigate risk and intended effectiveness
Include pipeline, materials construction, operation history, safety record and environment
Review at least annually

17. Operational Controls
Operating Procedures - written procedures to minimize human error
System Controls - pipeline operator shall ensure pipeline systems are designed, manufactured, fabricated, installed, operated, maintained, inspected and tested subject to applicable requirements, recommendations and standards.
Management of Change - written procedures on how to communicate changes

18. Incident Investigation, Evaluation, & Lessons Learned
Investigate Accidents –procedure for investigating incidents and near-misses
Identifying causes and contributing factors,
Producing findings and lessons learned,
Recommendations for safety performance improvement, including changes to processes and procedures

19. Incident Investigation, Evaluation, & Lessons Learned
Lessons Learned – procedure for how to determine and document lessons learned from investigations. Action to implement risk assessment and improvement must be tracked and completed.

20. Safety Assurance Audits At least once every 3 years
Internal auditors must not be involved in the work of the SMS or operations being audited
External auditors allowed
Response to Audit findings
Defined response times
Corrective actions taken
Closure

21. Management Review & Continuous Improvement
Top Management annual review
Goals and objectives of the Pipeline SMS
Status of corrective actions from past
management reviews
Performance measures and KPIs
Results of the risk management review
Results and recommendations of incident
investigations, evaluations and lessons learned
Results of internal and external audits and evaluations
Changes that could affect the Pipeline SMS including legal, regulatory or other requirements, stakeholder feedback, and evaluation of safety culture
No set it and forget it.

22. Management Review & Continuous Improvement
Pipeline safety audit and assessment results
Data analysis
Management review
No set it and forget it.
Always reviewing and revising. Making corrections and then monitoring them to make sure they work as expected.

23. Emergency Preparedness & Response
Determination of emergency types
Internal and external notification requirements
Identification of response resources and interfaces
Recognition of the Unified Command/Incident Command Structure
Communication planning
Training and drill programs
Program and plan review process
Improvement processes
Written procedures for preparing for and effectively managing pipeline incidents.

24. Competence, Awareness & Training
Operators will provide training to employees and contractors to ensure all have the requisite competence and are aware of the following:
Applicable elements of the Pipeline SMS that affect their job requirements
Newly emerging or changing risks, problems in execution of the Pipeline SMS, and opportunities to improve processes and procedures
Potential consequences of failure to follow processes or procedures

25. Documentation & Recordkeeping
Operator will identify, distribute and control documents and records required to fulfill the elements of the Pipeline SMS.
Pipeline SMS, including revisions, translations, and updates are:
Reviewed and approved for adequacy prior to issue and use
Remain legible and readily identifiable
Readily available and accessible to workers performing an activity
