• Learning Points:
o Senior managers of high hazard industries need to make business decisions based on their impact to risk management
o Senior managers need to understand the basic concepts of risk management in major hazards
o Leaders should actively seek out information on risk management rather then waiting to be told
o Leaders need to be able to assimilate and understand the implications of process safety performance data when it is provided to them
