A key learning post-Macondo is how effective the industry is when it collaborates. The creation and support of new organizations like the Center for Offshore Safety demonstrates the commitment, capacity, and capability of the industry to continuously enhance safety and environmental protection. The second learning is the importance of SEMS, and how these systems maintain focus on both personnel safety and process safety. The use of safety management for continuous learning and improvement, for enhancing skills and knowledge, and for analyzing, establishing, and maintaining barriers to major hazards has a renewed and enhanced spirit of industry commitment.
