The BP Baker Report – Assessing its Impact on Process Safety Culture

In the current study information was gathered from industry insiders—safety personnel and chemical engineers—to determine the impact of the BP Baker Report on personal and process safety within their respective organizations and the industry as a whole. The study was also designed to determine to what extent the BP Process Safety Culture Survey has become a benchmarking tool for assessing process safety culture. Descriptive results from the study will provide information that will be useful in determining to what extent the BP Process Safety Culture Survey may be a useful benchmarking tool from which to gage organizational process safety. It will also provide some insight into the mental models of chemical processing personnel regarding the transportability and generalization of lessons learned in one organization to others.
