Description

AdvanSix began the Connected Worker journey focusing on rounds and inspections. These activities bring immediate operational benefits including hazard recognition, data visualization, and cross referencing between critical field data and other plant operating data. Application to checklists was not initially considered- our technology supplier was unfamiliar with a checklist application and informal polls/benchmarking suggested that electronic checklists were not being pursued across the chemical industry. Nevertheless, because checklists are widely used to improve Human Performance and are commonly claimed for as risk reduction measures, an electronic checklist (e-checklist) was developed for a loading/unloading operation to prototype the technology. Subsequent incidents caused by checklist failures accelerated interest in the new application. This paper describes the challenges facing the e-checklist prototype, including acceptance by the operators, and will share some of the inherent advantages offered by e-checklists over paper checklists.

Attendee takeaways

  1. E-Checklists bring new capabilities: interaction with control room personnel and improve accountability through timestamping, geopositioning, individual electronic accounts and auditing from the digital record.
  2. Focus checklists on safety-critical tasks and consolidate skills-based tasks.
  3. Involve operators in the development and roll-out of E-Checklists.
