11. Lessons Learned • Tasks need to be clearly defined and communicated to the personnel performing the work. • Clutter and poor housekeeping will always cause problems. • Changes to procedures should be published and communicated before they are implemented. • Validate that repairs/upgrades are completed before re-staring operations. • Ensure that control equipment is operational before beginning operations.

12. Trends • Over the past three years the primary personnel concern are falls. • Presently GSO is evaluating training programs and other resources to address this concern. • Some of the close calls are related to the Construction Safety Program. GSO is working with Construction Management to review and improve all processes to address this problem.
