This book touches upon some of the problems concerning controlling the business process of an organisation. Uncontrolled deviations of that business process can result in unwanted outcomes like safety, health and environmental problems. Several factors are needed to improve that business process. These have been identified as a sequence in which each step necessarily requires the previous ones, but in which it can be seen that earlier steps are not, by themselves, sufficient to reach the ultimate goal of complete control over the business process. The steps are: commit management, identify hazards, eliminate non-essential hazards, maximize containment and correct handling, control changes, assess risks, upgrade/prevent and ensure follow-up. Based upon a theoretical framework, the so-called Tripod condition survey has been developed by researchers at Leiden and Manchester University for the Shell Exploration and Production Department. It provides ways of detecting, measuring and eliminating the deficiencies in the business process of a company.
