Event themes

Do we have a working environment where people can continually learn and improve, including from colleagues and oil major inspectors? Are we managing to avoid a blame culture?

Are oil company inspectors providing sufficient opportunity for minor deficiencies to be corrected without a negative commercial impact?

Are class societies fulfilling their role as a trusted informed advisor, helping people improve without negative commercial impact?

Can inspectors spot bad management quickly – such as management around compliance - or problems due to insufficient budget?

Is it possible to avoid long term damage to the business after an accident which you did your best to avoid?

Are the efforts to remove overlapping standards working?

Should we have more online checking of documentation, rather than checks being made onboard ship, and who can this be managed?

Is it time to eliminate port state inspections – which would save a lot of time – and can port state control use better targeting mechanisms as USCG does?
