IMPACT GME

The GME methodology recommends the use of standards which determine the normal, smooth operating conditions.

Strict application of these standards and the rapid elimination of all technical abnormalities will reduce considerably the potential dangers, and thereby the risks of having an accident.

The prior technical work is essential but is not enough.

This must be supplemented by an improvement in human behaviour. Bad practices are responsible for over 80% of accidents !
