ExxonMobil hosted a series of half-day seminars on risk management training in Doha. Participants included employees from Qatar Petroleum, Qatar Petroleum International, Qatargas, RasGas, Qatar Science and Technology Park, Qatar University, Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar and Texas A&M University in Qatar, in addition to representatives from the Ministry of Labour.
The rigorous management approach - Operations Integrity Management System (OIMS) - establishes common worldwide expectations for addressing all aspects of its business that can impact personnel and process safety, security, health, and environmental performance.
OIMS guides the activities of more than 83,000 employees at ExxonMobil and roughly an equal number of third-party contractors around the world. Fundamentally driving operations from top to bottom, the OIMS framework includes a rigorous 11-point set of elements designed to identify hazards and manage risks.
“At ExxonMobil, safety is more than a priority, it is a value that shapes decision-making at every level of the organization,” said Bart Cahir, President and General Manager of ExxonMobil Qatar Inc. “We believe effective risk management at all levels in an organization are essential to achieving an injury-free workplace. We appreciate the participation of our partners within Qatar in these valuable seminars led by experts from the ExxonMobil Human Factors Center of Excellence.”
The seminars focused on strategies for understanding and addressing risk tolerance. The course concept was derived from a recently completed study taskforce to develop improved insights and understanding of the factors that influence individual decision-making to take unsafe or at risk actions. Led by Dr Joseph Deeb, Human Factors Advisor and member of the study taskforce, participants were introduced to a risk tolerance model, reviewed the 10 factors that influence risk tolerance and identified strategies and actions to address risk tolerance.
