IMPLEMENTING A CULTURE of SAFETY
Implementing a Culture of Safety Deepwater production of oil and gas takes place in one of the world’s most hazardous and dangerous environments ... a place where operating in a pervasive Culture of Safety is not an option but an absolute requirement. Why? • A deepwater disaster could be as horrific as a release of a multi-megaton nuclear weapon! • A single deepwater player, making a poor decision, could cause an accident the size of a multi-megaton disaster! • The number of vitally-interested stakeholders has mushroomed, and they are mad! • The number of participants in the development of a billion dollar asset has skyrocketed! • Energy executives now have everything at stake when responsible for a god-like, megaton disaster! To stay safe and productive, energy companies must step up their game with new and improved ways of operating: • High Reliability Organizations • Strong-Bond Governance • Asset Integrity Management • Integrated Operations • Authorization, e.g., Two-Key Requirements • Surrounded by a true Culture of Safety. The heart of the matter is to design a valid Culture of Safety and then implement it on target, on time and on budget!

Moving the Needle on Children’s Physical Activity – How to Best Promote More Movement?
Globally, physical inactivity is on the rise in most countries, and according to the WHO, it is considered one of the leading major public health risks. As children’s physical activity behaviors are conveyed into adulthood, many interventions focus on establishing healthy physical activity habits in children to prevent the potential negative health outcomes associated with low physical activity over the life course. The school environment provides an opportunity to reach the majority of children, however, physical activity promotion in schools can often be a challenge.

Moreover, the evaluation of physical activity interventions for children is challenging, raising a discussion on how to best evaluate these interventions.
