Case Study: an independent oil and gas operator achieves stronger safety performance with dss+

From dispersed operations to consistent safety leadership Case Study

An independent oil and gas operator with mature offshore and onshore assets faced a challenge in strengthening safety performance across its dispersed operations in Mexico and Colombia. The variability across sites led to inconsistent safety practices and leadership behaviors, which resulted in uneven risk awareness and engagement. To address this and reduce its TRIR, the operator worked with dss+ on an Area of Transformation programme.

dss+ delivered a programme to build leadership capability and embed consistent safety rituals into daily operations. The solution included targeted training, field coaching, and the development of 13 internal coaches to sustain change. The measurable impact included a lower TRIR at an operating subsidiary, the continued discipline of Managerial Safety Visits after the programme ended, and teams developing a sharper, self-sustained risk awareness.
