Incident/Near Miss Management
Incident Management is an essential business process to help avoid major incidents and near misses that lead to major accidents in complex chemical operations facilities. Incident Management’s key objective is to monitor compliance to the key Health Safety and Environmental (HSE) guidelines defined by ‘Process Safety Management’ a regulation, promulgated by OSHA.
Our solution focuses mainly on managing the operational safety risk of chemical operations through the following three components of plant operations: People-Plant-Process. Safety Compliance Management is meant to ensure compliance to internal and external statutory/legislative safety requirements
Incident Management is one part (module) of Yokogawa's fully integrated Operations Management System.
Customer Challenge
Ensuring Safety Compliance
- Paper based reporting and investigation of incidents and near-misses create a lack in visibility and accountability
- Corrective and preventive actions are often not tracked
- Information regarding HSE practices followed in plant operation is scattered in different systems (mostly paper based)
- Non-compliance often goes undetected due to lack of effective monitoring measures
