Abstract

For more than 20 years the Abnormal Situation Management Consortium has been studying the impact of human factors in Process Industry Plants. Initially begun with a primary objective to reduce safety incidents, the findings have demonstrated tangible financial performance improvements as well. The ASM Consortium not only conducts research, but it also tests prototype solutions in member plants to verify the impact.

And while new discoveries continue to be made, working on six principal areas will reduce incidents significantly and can reduce the gap between actual performance and ideal performance by as much as 50%. Moreover, five of these six need not require fixed capital expenditure.

Learn what you can do to help reduce incident risk and improve your plant’s performance.
