Prioritizing Critical Success Factors for Implementing Safety Programs in Upstream Oil and Gas Projects

Planning for success in implementation and execution of the policies in organization, especially in safety, is always an inevitable process, and one of the daily challenges in this industry is developing strong plans and not realizing them during the life cycle of the project.Therefore, identifying and analyzing the critical success factors in implementation of safety plans at all stages in projects, especially upstream, can lead to a better understanding of the role of each factor in optimal implementation of project safety plans.Also, with sufficient understanding of the critical success factors, costs should be reduced in proportion and by focusing on the most important critical success factors, faster implementation and establishment of safety programs in the project to create sustainability will happen.In this research, by prioritizing critical success factors for implementation of safety programs in oil and gas projects, it is possible to improve the project's productivity with a sustainable development approach while fully implementing the project's safety plan.
