This paper describes one successful approach of Behavior Based Safety (BBS) implementation in Oil & Gas Company in Kuwait. The unique approach involved 'throwing out' many of the western cultural assumptions and approaching BBS implementation through the very basic building blocks. Much emphasis was placed on understanding the Middle Eastern Social Culture, understanding the organizational culture including the HSE culture and then designing the BBS program to suit the cultural norms.

Effective energy management involves making decisions that lead to the conservation of energy and the efficient use of resources for sustainable future. Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), a subsidiary of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC), is involved in exploration, drilling and production of oil and gas. KOC is fully committed towards energy management, energy efficiency and greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions reduction, which may help in minimizing energy costs and mitigating environmental effects. In order to meet national and international standards ISO 50001 Energy Management System (EnMS), KOC undertaken a pilot study for developing an effective energy management program for KOC representative process units and main buildings. The objective of the program was to create an energy baseline and identify the potential improvement areas and provide inputs for the implementation of ISO 50001 for certification. KOC has established the Energy Performance Indicators (EnPIs) for each of the process units and specific KPIs has been identified to monitor and control the energy performance. Furthermore, the study highlights the major achievements towards energy management, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions reduction in order to help in minimizing energy costs and mitigating environmental effects.

Process Safety Management (PSM), though not a relatively new concept, has been implemented by many organizations to eliminate incidents like tragic Bhopal catastrophe; however, even after more than 25 years has been passed; still we are encountering disasters which occurred in different parts of the world. The BP Texas City incident and consequent Baker Panel Report have made it explicitly clear that PSM had to be established and administered as a distinct management system having its own management tools. Though every organization has its own metrics to manage Process Safety Management, however, the importance lies exactly whether those metrics (performance indicators) are rightly chosen or not. This paper presents holistic review of various process safety metrics suggested and developed by well-known international bodies.
