Development of Pipeline Safety Standards: Zero Comes First, Challenges, Consensus, Stakeholders
This presentation explores the development of pipeline safety standards, addressing key themes like zero incidents, challenges in safety culture, regulatory approaches, and stakeholder engagement. Consensus on safety management systems and the importance of data analysis are emphasized, along with the necessity for better communication and innovation in inspection tools. Stakeholders in the industry are urged to focus on transparent communication, accessible data, and regulatory quality over quantity.

Getting to Zero: Development of Pipeline Safety Standards
Themes Which zero comes first? Where do we go from here? Intentional approaches to operator- and system-specific characteristics that affect management of corrosion Importance of data: depth, specificity, accuracy, intent Improve communication strategies & the challenges of information sharing
Challenges Consistency and intentionality of approach: what s happening when nothing is happening Changing safety culture Finding the fine line of when prescriptive or performance-based regulations are best suited Constrained resources: the triangle of cost/time/quality Pre-conceived notions of what prescriptive and performance based means
Consensus Contrasts Support for voluntary information sharing in concept Should Safety Management Systems (SMS) be required, if so how can it be scaled? More intentional effort to define causation through data analysis to better inform action plan When are approaches best suited to regulations vs recommendations vs best practices? Advancing innovation for in-line inspection tools (non-piggable) How important is corrosion compared to other threats? Clear connections between approach and rationale What are right metrics to use to get to zero (how are we normalizing data) Improve communication
Stakeholders Public interest in transparent communication, accessible data, how to best engage Industry concerned about how regulations scale and quality vs quantity Big theme across government and stakeholders: differing priorities on the push & pull of cost, effectiveness, scale On SMS: clear divisions on intended scale of implementation & enforcement
