Procedural adherence teams help align employee, company values and reduce incidents

The industry’s traditional approaches to investigating and preventing incidents – including audits and reports – don’t work, Jerold Timpson, President of Kaufman Global, said in a presentation at the 2017 IADC Human Factors Conference in Galveston, Texas. These methods rely on human memory, which is fallible, and often require people to incriminate themselves, which they’re unwilling to do, he explained in a video from the conference on 17 October. In the video, he also discusses the benefits of using procedural adherence teams to align values and reduce incidents.
