AI safety regulations and responsible use guidelines are forthcoming. This will require building Responsible AI and/or AI Safety Programs to deliver on obligations and contend Ethical and forward looking organizations have already started to build out AI Safety and Responsible

This voice seems loudest in the safety field. In a recent article from Energy Safety Canada, The National Safety Association’s for Canada’s Oil and Process safety management, functional safety, and occupational safety are becoming more risk-based and What some are suggesting is something similar to TQM for safety – Total Safety Management (TSM). (Safety 2) to transform our approaches from safety management to actually managing safety.

To get there we will first consider AI Safety and the challenges that exist to design safe and responsible Even guard rails used to improve safety are for the most part blunt and crude instruments having their This sounds similar to on-going tensions between production and safety or quality or security or any AI Sustainability is perhaps what drives the need for AI safety, security, quality, legal, and ethical However, it sustainability that drives our need for safety.

shares his insights on how organizational structure, communication, and habitual practices advance safety culture from his recent book: Organizing for Safety – How structure creates culture. video, Hopkins outlines how organizational structures contribute (negatively and positively) to overall safety This video was shown during of the Oil and Gas Denmark – Task Force Zero 2019 safety conference.

This creates a number of tensions including that between production and compliance objectives such as: safety When it comes to safety, quality, and regulatory compliance this can create significant risk. Now, this line of thinking can (inappropriately) also be made regarding safety. If only workers acted in a safe manner we would not need safety systems. Safety systems only exist because of unsafe behaviors and the customer should not have to pay for that

Safety regulations and guidelines across North America call out for the need to manage risk due to organizational Ensuring that safety critical roles are effectively maintained when changes are made to either personnel or positions is an essential requirement for every process or pipeline safety program. For example, introducing travel bans may impact the ability to conduct field safety assessments. Are safety critical positions identified and are roles effectively transitioned?

Each pillar will have a PDP (Policy Deployment Plan (for example, there will be one for safety, security For example, How much does security support safety? What we are evaluating is each function’s contribution to overall safety, security, and so on.

Compliance programs tend to be distributed across functional groups such as: quality, process safety, occupational safety, regulatory compliance, environment, and so on. In the book entitled, "Guidelines for Risk Based Process Safety" published by the Center for Chemical James Reason introduced the Swiss Cheese model to illustrate how even small holes in safety barriers While safety efforts may be applied individually to each activity more effective safety performance is

Process safety refers to a systematic approach within industries to prevent and mitigate the occurrence The primary goal of process safety is to ensure the protection of personnel, the environment, and assets To minimize the likelihood and consequence of accidents, safety barriers (i.e. guardrails) are put in Examples of safety critical equipment include: Safety instrumented systems DCS or PLC shutdowns and What safety critical equipment is missing from the procedure?

This should increase the level of concern as to an organization's ability to operate safety should a those similar to the WanaCry worm could disrupt an organization's ability to: Shutdown a process Make safety However, aligning cyber security with process safety programs continues to be an important challenge perfect time to review and evaluate the effectiveness of your cyber security, emergency preparedness, and safety

You can replace the word ethical with "safety" or "quality" or "environmental" which are more concrete according to this law, the system (in this case the value chain) will always optimize away from "quality", "safety This dynamic may help explain the tensions that always exist between production and safety, or production That’s why we are seeing more roles in the “C-Suite” such as Chief Security Officer, Chief Safety Officer

Safety performance is improved when organizations take a comprehensive and systemic view of their safety canvas demonstrates how this looks like for a Management of Change (MOC) sub-system for a Pipeline Safety subsystem, effectiveness can be defined as: Management of change is effective when it keeps pipeline safety As safety is an emergent property of an overall safety system the design step requires knowledge and skills in system design, cybernetic controls, and risk-based strategies to ensure that safety is advanced
