About This Resource HSE Process Safety Leadership Report - Findings of Energy Division Inspection Programme About Failures in effective process safety leadership / process safety management can be linked to historical Major Accident Hazard (MAH) events such as Piper Alpha, Buncefield and Texas City amongst others. In 2018, HSE flagged concerns to the offshore industry regarding stagnating safety performance and challenged industry to respond leading to the adoption of the Principles of Process Safety Leadership (PPSL). In January 2022, HSE Energy Division initiated a targeted inspection programme across a sample of the UKCS production operators to assess how industry had responded to the challenge laid out in 2018. A total of 13 operators were inspected by the end of the inspection programme in May 2024 with an additional inspection conducted in October 2024. The organisations sampled covered the range of operating models in the UKCS and the different types of installations in use. Inspections were conducted using established HSE guidance on Major Hazard Leadership and carried out by a dedicated core team to ensure consistency of approach and comparison of performance. Benchmarking of Duty Holders against their industry peers was not conducted, neither were scores assigned. Free Download
