Concawe Safety Management Group: strategy review

Improvement in European downstream oil refining industry safety performance is evident over the years since the first Concawe safety report in 1993. However, the Safety Management Group (SMG) recognised in the 2016 strategy review that further improvement is necessary, and will need to be addressed with a focus on the role of human behaviour in incidents and the sharing of best practice in learning from incidents.

In 2017, the SMG initiated work in these areas while continuing to deliver its annual safety statistics report.
