Energy organizations have made progress in safety, but most
still rely on backward‑looking investigations rather than systems
that anticipate when risk is rising. In this episode, Patricio
Rivera, Former Vice President of HSE International at Oxy, joins
host Matthew DeMello and examines how learning from good days and
leveraging existing observation data can strengthen an
organization’s ability to predict and prevent safety‑critical
events. He highlights the practical shifts required to extend
periods of stable operations, reinforce the controls most likely to
fail, and align safety practices with broader business performance
expectations. Learn how brands work with Emerj and other Emerj
