Enhancing Safety Performance through Cultural Maturity: A Comprehensive Framework for Multinational Oil and Gas Operations
Résumé
This article presents the results of a major HSE Review conducted through four subsidiaries of an oil & gas company to provide insights and recommendations to enhance the current HSE system. The analysis was carried out for subsidiaries in North America, Middle East and Western Europe. It has required about 600 documents reviewed, more than 100 interviews conducted, about 130 hours of Field visits to evaluate HSE system implementation effectiveness, and more than 1500 Safety climate survey participants. The methodology relies on one hand, on a Safety Culture Maturity framework to analyze perceptions at different levels of the organization, and on the other hand, on expert judgment following field observations and interactions with workforce and management across all subsidiaries. The overall results highlight perceived strengths and gaps in the current different elements of Safety culture at each subsidiary and highlight specific perceived strengths and shortcoming in Safety Culture. A second section of the article discusses how maturity models can be a legitimate tool despite some inherent limitations underlined by part of the safety science research community, alongside a consideration of some common critique of the safety culture construct. The article gives an illustration of how practitioners can use maturity models and how the results support the setting of improvement plans that integrate key risk themes to drive effective & sustainable enhancement. We also a gue f om a safety p a t t one 's po nt of v ew that us ng matu ty mo els g ve the oppo tun ty to ve owne sh p an commitment processes that may be eventually more important that the deliverables. The paper provides elements for a better understanding of how underpinnings of maturity models articulate with assessment of safety culture and explore their methodological properties to show how some theoretical weaknesses can paradoxically become competitive advantages in the practical implementation of safety improvement approaches.
