Incidents will be reported, investigated and analyzed to prevent recurrence and improve our performance. Our investigations will focus on root causes and/ or system failures. Corrective actions and preventive measures will be utilized to reduce future injuries and losses.

All health, safety, technical integrity, security and environmental incidents, including near misses, are openly reported, investigated, analysed and documented.

Major incidents are investigated by a multi-function/level team with participation and leadership from outside the Business Unit.

Incident investigations, including identification of root causes and preventive actions, are documented and closed-out.

Information gathered from incident investigations is analysed to identify and monitor trends and develop prevention programmes.

Lessons learned from investigations are shared across BP and personnel take appropriate action upon receipt of such information.

Mutual sharing of lessons learned and good practice is encouraged within the wider energy and chemical industry.
