CORPORATE SAFETY CULTURE:
Process safety leadership: The Panel believes that BP has not provided effective process safety leadership and has not adequately established process safety as a core value across all its five US refineries.
While BP has an aspirational goal of “no accidents, no harm to people,” BP has not provided effective leadership in making certain its management and US refining workforce understand what is expected of them regarding process safety performance.
BP did not emphasize process safety. BP mistakenly interpreted improving personal injury rates as an indication of acceptable process safety performance at its U.S. refineries.
BP’s reliance on this data, combined with an inadequate process safety understanding, created a false sense of confidence that BP was properly addressing process safety risks.
