Risk Communication Project

Objective:

To develop a Strategic Risk Communication Guidance for the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center to increase the understanding of hazards, prevention and mitigation measures, and risk by the general public as it relates to beneficially using chemicals, but managing associated risks to an acceptable level.

  1. Frame the role of the MKOPSC regarding public education on risk affiliated with manufacturing sites.
  2. Align the role with the MKOPSC Vision – To be an international leader in minimizing losses within the process industry – through safer processes, management, equipment, and procedures.
  3. Frame the messages regarding risk, zoning and greenbelt management that MKOPSC desires to communicate.
  4. Identify stakeholders
  5. Identify the channels for communication to each stakeholder group.
