The Critical Control Management (CCM) methodology has emerged in the construction and mining industries as a ‘safety case’ to manage personal safety risks associated with high-risk activities. The construction-based Major Accident Prevention (MAP) program has been implemented on oil and gas projects since early 2016 and has been tested in greenfields, brownfields, operations and maintenance, and hook-up and commissioning environments. Since implementing the MAP program, a reduction in high potential ‘near miss’ events and a reduction of all injuries has been observed. Within the Clough organisation, four projects that are near completion have zero injuries.
MAP works by providing the specific standards (rules), in a similar manner to ‘operating limits’ used in process control systems, to ensure critical control integrity. Through these specific standards, MAP eliminates substandard field work practices becoming normalised and MAP empowers field supervisors and even line employees to ‘stop work’ when critical control standards are not met in the field.
Based on widely accepted organisational change principles, a framework for successfully implementing CCM has been developed. The framework is critical to successfully implementing and executing construction safety cases in a proactive manner. This paper explores what comprises CCM and the key attributes contributing to successful implementation.
