Occupational Safety and Process Safety: How they differ

We should equally never forget that the development of our safety performance in both the above areas is a journey that encompasses several multi-disciplinary approaches with behavioural safety thinking at the heart of our journey. The well-known DuPont Bradley Curve below provides both some guidance and some food for thought in how we should approach our safety performance development. Understanding our current position on the Bradley Curve is important to guide further development. Failing to understanding this starting point will invariably lead to a fire-fighting approach to safety management rather than a structured approach which will allow safety performance to improve year-on-year.
