This creates a false dichotomy between progress and safety. Technically , we must build robust safety mechanisms and engineering practices. While reduced regulation may accelerate certain types of commercial innovation, it risks neglecting safety We need breakthroughs in AI safety just as much as we need advances in AI capabilities.

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.

Environmental Health and Safety / Environmental Stewardship · Adaptive Management for Service Reliability Adaptive Management for Service Reliability 8) Carbon Neutrality 9) Environmental Health and Safety figure below shows that the pillars “Climate Change Risk and Adaptation”, “Environmental Health and Safety number of secondary dependencies: 1) Community Sustainability 2) Environmental Health and Safety The figure below shows that the pillars “Active and Green Transportation”, “Environmental Health and Safety

Total Value Chain Analysis You can replace the word ethical with "safety" or "quality" or "environmental 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

Compliance is about meeting obligations across many domains, including safety, security, sustainability called this Compliance 2.0, although each domain has its own name for it: Total Quality Management, Safety II, HOP, Functional & Process Safety, Cybernetics, Lean, and others. Compliance 2.0 requires operational capabilities to achieve targets and advance outcomes towards better safety maintain compliance through operational design Advance capabilities that drive better outcomes across safety

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

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.

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.

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

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?

Investigations into the explosion are on-going and lessons learned will no doubt be used to improve safety This is the usual process by which safety improves. When this is reduced to zero then the scope can be broadened bringing in more data to help improve safety recommend Sparrow's book, "The Character of Harms" for both regulators and operators looking to improve safety
