Procedural Adherence: October 2017 IADC Human Factors Conference
Procedural Adherence is the topic Kaufman Global president Jerry Timpson will speak on at this year’s IADC Human Factors Conference and Exhibition. The conference takes place 17-18 October at the Moody Gardens Hotel in Galveston, Texas.
Mr. Timpson will present during the 10:45-11:15 am session on Tuesday, 17 October. His presentation is entitled: On Procedural Adherence. Procedural Adherence is about behaviors. Many organizations focus on the technical side of procedural adherence (documentation and training), but don’t do so well with the behavioral aspect. Often the first indicator of a procedural or process problem is when a major malfunction occurs, a catastrophic event. Smaller, less obvious issues result in major loss, but are often not addressed at all. To improve outcomes, we must shift values, engage the organization in different ways and establish new behaviors that are leading indicators of procedural and process adherence.

About IADC Human Factors Conference
Recent events have triggered a growing awareness of the human contribution to catastrophic and process safety events. As other industries have proven, if the drilling industry can make a concerted effort to understand human factors and integrate these concepts into training and operations, significant value can be gained in terms of safety performance. The IADC Human Factors Conference & Exhibition will seek to examine the innovations that are shaping the future of drilling as it strives to merge rapidly advancing technologies with an understanding of human nature and form.
