THE INFLUENCE ON ORGANIZATIONAL ACCIDENT RISK BY INTEGRATED OPERATIONS IN THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY

Transition into IO, integrated operations, (introduction of new technology, new organization of work and increased automation) in petroleum activities in the North Sea influence the ability to accommodate failures and disturbances without producing organizational accidents. The paper describes the main expected changes in human and organizational aspects related to IO, and present both positive and negative effects from these changes on organizational accident risk.
