This paper describes Shell EPA (Shell Exploration & Production in Asia Pacific) efforts and strategies to achieve a step change in safety performance by building a sustainable "Proactive Intervention Culture" (PIC) among her workforce, which will intrinsically motivate people to intervene in unsafe acts and situations because they believe in it, rather than because they are being forced or told to.

The paper details the planning and development of the PIC training programme, implementation plan and progress to date by Shell EPA to build a sustainable proactive safety culture among staff and contractors.
