First, What’s Driving This Effort?

• Very serious process safety event in 2005 at BP’s refinery in Texas City, TX

• Industry’s process safety performance was the topic of the keynote presenter at last year’s LCA annual meeting in New Orleans

• Joint LCA/LCIA Board meeting (Dec. ‘07) combined discussions about the above two items with the Eight Point Plan

• Most of all, so we can measure and improve our process safety performance.
