Charlie Duhon, Process Safety Supervisor
Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas
Corporation
Nominated by: John Feducia (retired),
Industrial Specialist, Performance and Safety Branch, Engineering and
Operations Division, Offshore and Energy Minerals Management
| Mr. Duhon has continued to be a leader within the
industry in promoting our Safety and Environmental Management Program (SEMP) through API's
RP75 as a viable business approach to safety system management. He has continually looked
for ways to make adoption and use of this approach acceptable and easy. Over the last year and a half, Mr. Duhon voluntarily chaired a joint
OOC/MMS work group convened to develop audit protocols based on RP75.
The intention of the group was to develop audit protocols that could be
used directly or tailored by companies who were ready to begin assessing
the effectiveness of their safety system management programs but who did
not yet have their own audit systems. They could also be used by
companies with ongoing audit programs for benchmarking purposes. |

Acting MMS Director Thomas R. Kitsos |
Mr. Duhon contacted team
members to seek their participation, held several meetings, provided formats and editorial
consistency, and continually monitored the progress of the project. He oversaw an
exrensive editorial review of the final protocols. This effort further demonstrates an
industry commitment to safety system management by devoting resources to the effort and to
Mr. Duhon's belief in the efficacy of the RP75 approach.
