(54av) Alright, Who Has a Safety Moment?: Enabling Learning through a Systematic Offer

It’s a comment you hear daily or weekly at the start of your reoccurring team meetings… “Alright, who has a safety moment?”. People will sit silently, waiting for someone else to speak up, or you will rack your brain to make something you read online that morning or heard on NPR on your way to work applicable to the conversation.

What if every day, every week, you were able to pull up a topic that was timely, directly applicable to your site, and enabled you to focus on embedding learnings within all level of your organization? Target Zero Today is your solution.

Target Zero Today is, in its most simple description, a series of four one-pagers that is published weekly by the BP Texas City Chemicals HSSE Department. It covers a variety of Process Safety and HSSE topics, with the focus on one topical area per week. The daily content builds on itself, linking to the previous days’ information. The one-pagers will either become more technically detailed, or explore different facets of the topic. In the cases where multiple topics are aligned, an organized campaign is planned to build the content in the most effective way. Probing questions are included daily to promote conversation and retention of the topic.

Highlighted content can be categorized into three different areas, 1. Incident Reviews/Safety Flashes, 2. Process Safety and HSSE Topic Deep Dives and 3. Upcoming Site Activities. When a global, or site, learning needs to be disseminated, Day 1 of 4 will review the incident and Days 2 – 4 will discuss contributing factors, similar hazards at the site, and practices and policies in place to prevent the risk event from occurring

This paper/presentation will focus on the benefits of Target Zero Today, implementation of the high-level program, development of weekly topics, and learnings from over a year of delivery.
