“…Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), OSHA, and other regulatory body acknowledge the importance of having strong safety culture to reduce the probability of major accidents. 10 Weak safety culture has been identified as the underlying cause of many major accidents such as BP Texas Fire and Explosion (2005) and Deepwater Horizon oil spills (2011). 11 Stakeholder outreach is the element that guides the organization to establish a great relation and ensure successful process safety communication among the stakeholders.…”

For past decades, the industry and academician realized the core of effective process safety management (PSM) is closely related to good process safety culture. Major accidents in process industry occur at low frequency but the consequences on people, environmental, and assets damage are catastrophic. Previous accidents in process industry recorded many deaths and injuries of facility personnel and public. Hence, many regulations and best practices were introduced to avoid major accidents from occurring and to mitigate the consequences. Risk based process safety (RBPS) Guideline is one of best practices to manage PSM, using risk‐based approaches. When accidents happened, internal and external stakeholders are greatly impacted if it is not mitigated effectively. Thus, element stakeholder outreach which lies in Commit to Process Safety pillars are considered as important elements to protect the stakeholders and promoting good safety culture. This article presents a structured technique for stakeholder outreach using RBPS approaches and a work‐aid model to ease its implementation in process industry. The technique and work‐aid model are beneficial to help the organization managing stakeholders, educating the public on risk management and the importance of embracing safety culture in their life.

“…Alguns casos de acidentes em laboratórios com lesões aos pesquisadores já foram relatados na literatura. Um desses acidentes aconteceu em um laboratório do departamento de química da Universidade do Texas, em 2010, onde um pesquisador de 29 anos ficou gravemente ferido no rosto e nas mãos após a explosão de uma mistura de perclorato de níquel hidrazina explodiu (OLEWSKI et al, 2016 (CARHART, 2015).…”

“…Over the past three decades, safety culture has become a major area of research driven by practical and industrial needs. Safety culture is a concept utilized pervasively in many high‐hazard industries including healthcare, transportation, nuclear power, oil and gas, and construction—and its impact continues to expand in a variety of industries (Jespersen, Griffiths, Maclaurin, Chapman, & Wallace, ; Olewski, Ahammad, Quraishy, Gan, & Vechot, ; Pessemier & England, ; Vogus, Cull, Hengelbrok, Modell, & Epstein, ). The purpose of the current review is to enhance our understanding of safety culture by describing how the concept has evolved over time through collaboration between high‐hazard industries and researchers.…”

as a means of reinforcing rules and operational procedures upon employees (IAEA, 1986). The report describes "nuclear safety culture" as a "reinforcement process which should be used in conjunction with the necessary disciplinary measures (IAEA, 1986, p. 9)." From this perspective, the intent of having a safety culture was to "foster an atmosphere" where demanding practices were seen as a benefit (e.g., tedious quality checks) as opposed to a hindrance for employees.Although the INSAG-1 report used the term safety culture to describe a general issue of rule compliance that could be present in any nuclear power plant, the term was used by some governments to support the claim that a Chernobyl-type incident could not happen in their country. For example, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), headquartered in France, produced a report concerning Chernobyl (OECD, 1987) arguing that member states have a superior safety culture than that of the Soviet Union and that no action in this area was necessary. They argued that OECD member countries had a good safety culture due to their operator qualification systems, good control room design, effective control of operator behavior, and effective regulatory oversight. In short, they argued that safety culture was a Soviet problem and that no actions were required by OECD countries. It is interesting to note that neither the INSAG-1 nor OECD reports define safety culture, even though the OECD report contains a glossary of terms.
