Risk perception is a term widely used to include all the processes used by individuals to appraise and manage risk; it incorporates individuals' beliefs, attitudes and behaviour in relation to risk. Risk perception is determined by a range of factors, including internal motivations (eg risk avoidance, risk acceptance or risk taking), prior experience, assumptions about environmental conditions and the rate of change of the situation. Because it is difficult for an individual to predict their behaviour in hypothetical circumstances, it is best to measure risk perception in realistic situations; this is hard to set up and evaluate.In Stage 1 of this project, we propose to develop a Risk Portal - a Web-based risk perception environment with new resources and links to existing tools to measure risk perception as well as exercises and training for use by the international oil and gas industry. The Web-based environment will be constructed to allow update and addition by authorised organizations in order to build a library of resources that will keep pace with cognitive and behavioural psychology and experiences of the international oil and gas industry as well as other industries that are concerned with employee risk perception. Measurement of an individual's risk perception could generate an individually tailored training programme.In Stage 2 of this project, training will be developed for hazardous situations with the objective of allowing employees to mitigate risk by implementing appropriate barriers. The training will utilise multimedia presentation of case studies, interactive demonstrations and immersive simulation exercises set in the context of oil and gas industry operations. The training will be delivered in an interactive rather than linear manner so that each individual will have a unique and authentic experience as they explore the environment based on their own preferences. Support for this development is welcomed.IntroductionIn the oil and gas industry there is significant investment in the development of engineering solutions to minimise risk to an "as low as practicable" (ALARP) level, especially in those nations where a "Safety Case", non-prescriptive legislation, is utilised. To effectively mitigate the residual risk Safety Management Systems (SMS) are employed.Risk perception is a major contributing factor to incidents (Moore and Bea, 1993). There are numerous groups working to improve our understanding about risk perception of personnel in hazardous industries and particularly in the offshore oil and gas industry (eg see Crichton and Flin, 2001; Flin et al, 1996; Rundmo, 1992a; Slovic, 2000; Waring and Glendon, 1998). A Web-based portal is proposed to provide ready access to a library of current resources such as questionnaires, exercises and training in the area of risk perception.If risk perception can be measured effectively then it may be possible to investigate if training and experience affect risk perception and workplace safety. A pre-test will identify personnel's needs for training and a post-test will identify the effectiveness of the training. It may be identified that there is a decay rate over time that requires refresher training.Before undertaking a non-routine task, personnel need to firstly identify if an intolerable level of risk exists. Secondly, they need to assess the level of risk in terms of likelihood of occurrence and severity of the consequence. Thirdly, personnel must choose the most effective risk reduction method. Fourthly, as the task is being undertaken they must reassess the risk until either the task is completed or the task is stopped due to the risk becoming intolerable. Each of the four steps is dependent on personnel having enough data and experience to accurately assess risk and estimate the effectiveness of mitigation measures. One important factor is prior experience.
