and CCPS

Approach in 4 phases

Approach in 4 phases to
determine the KPIs for process safety
1.
2.
3.
4.

Identification and scoping (setting up

BowTies)
Analysis of barriers and selection of KPIs
(leading and lagging)
Set-up criteria and reporting of KPIs
Evaluation and review

04 februari 2014

Phase 1: identification

Setting-up BowTies in 12 steps at operational installation

level by using the following reports:
HAZOP/HAZIDs
Safety reports (Seveso II)
SIL/LOPA assesments
FMECA analysis

Result: a set of barriers including escalation factor control

Phase 2, Key Performance Indicators

Starting point:
You dont improve what you dont measure
Indicators:

Leading indicators: performance of barriers before the

consequence
Lagging indicators: number of near misses or the
consequences itself

04 februari 2014

Phase 2, analysis of barriers and

selection of KPIs

Selection of KPIs, leading (barriers), max. 1 per threat

or consequence line and lagging (consequences)
Connecting barriers (KPIs) to business model (safety management
system)

04 februari 2014

Phase 3, Set-up criteria and reporting of KPIs

Setting up PR (performance requirements) for the KPIs,. the

FISM (Functionality, Integrity, Survivability and Management)
methodology
Setting-up PS (performance standards) for (KPIs) defining
grades, scoring and assessment criteria

04 februari 2014

Performance requirements

Functionality
definition the expected task(s)
Integrity
definition of the reliability of the barrier
Survivability
describes the barrier during an incident
Management
description of the processes, activities, procedures, competences
to control the barrier

Phase 3, integration of
Key Performance Indicators
Generic KPIs related to management systems
Percentage of completed HSE audits
Implementation of lesson learned TRIPOD investigations
(progress)
Validation of procedures for operational and maintenance tasks
(progress is parameter)
Percentage of underperforming operational documents noticed
during (HSE) audits
Job-specific trained personal (percentage)
Etc.

Phase 3, integration Performance

Indicators process safety
Related to technical integrity
Percentage of completed tests according to schedule (software,
safety relief valves, pressurized tanks, fire fighting equipment,
etc.)
Combination of completed test and percentage of tested
equipment that pass/fail the test
Status of follow-up actions from risk analyses such as HAZOPs;
Number of risk analyses executed according to schedule
(HAZOP, SIL, LOPA, etc.)
Number of (un)controled releases/emissions/spills
Etc.

Phase 4, Start reporting, evaluation

and review

Starting with risk optimization

Starting improvement cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle)
Transparency check
Integrating incident data for risk management

system into the Bow-Tie
