Devin Johnston of Encana Oil & Gas shared his TapRooT® best practice with us at the 2014 Global TapRooT® Summit, during our Users Share Best Practices session. Watch his video below to learn how he streamlined the way his facility performed TapRooT® investigations to make each one more efficient than ever:

If you’re at work and don’t have time to watch the video, here’s his tip:

Hi I’m Devin Johnston, with Encana Oil & Gas, from Denver, Colorado. One of the issues with had with TapRooT® is when we would have an incident we would want everyone to be involved. … Everyone would come in the room, we’d lock the doors, we’d run through the whole TapRooT® process, and bang it all out. At the end of the day, everyone was so tired of going through the process and arguing on each little point, that the corrective action part of it at the end was just, they’d take whatever. You’d give them a corrective action and they’d take it, and they weren’t always quality corrective actions. So the thing we fixed at our company is that we made it a more iterate process where we would investigate it, have SnapCharT®s built out already before we went into that meeting, then we selected who actually attended that meeting. If it was contractors, we made sure it wasn’t the whole EHS team, just the guys that things happened to out there. We’d pick the people that were in the investigation at the end to make it simpler, to come to an agreement better, and to improve our process on how we did those TapRooT®s.
