This session will feature two panels made up of the three operator finalists and the three contractor finalists from the 2021 COS Safety Leadership Award nominees. The Safety Leadership Awards encourage and reward outstanding contributions by U.S. offshore industry participants to improve safety management and performance through leadership, communication, and teamwork. Panelists will be given an opportunity to expand on their projects which are representative of their company’s contributions to SEMS leadership followed by audience Q&A participation. The projects focus on major accident risk covering both personal and process risk, where risk and HSSE performance improvement was delivered in a systematic way through HSSE management system. These projects demonstrate evidence of risk reduction or elimination and/ or HSSE performance improvement.
