Headlines following catastrophic incidents like fatal or crippling injuries, fires and explosions scream for answers to who was at fault and how could it have been prevented. This webinar will help you learn to recognize information you may already have in order to take action that could save lives and prevent that devastating accident. EHS managers, auditors, operations, risk managers, and legal counsel all have a role in uncovering the potential for and preventing high-consequence/low-frequency events. In this session we will:
- Review examples of some high consequence events and their underlying causes;
- Discuss a major theory of accident causation;
- Understand observations and nonconformances that can lead to high consequence events; and
- Learn to communicate such information in a way that will get attention when it really matters.
Our presenter will be Curtis J. Johnson, CPEA and STC Senior Program Director in our Texas office. Mr. Johnson will bring examples from amongst the hundreds of facilities he has examined during his 30+ years EHS experience in industry and consulting. In addition to auditing and assisting with EHS management program development in industries ranging from petroleum and chemicals, to manufacturing to food and pharmaceuticals, Mr. Johnson is a contributing author for STCs Pipeline Safety Auditing: Federal Compliance Guide and for ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems: A Complete Implementation Guide. He is currently developing an auditing guide for use in the upstream oil and gas production industry.
