Building Safe, Reliable and Sustainable Operations

At Entara, our purpose is to deliver safe, reliable and sustainable operations across critical energy infrastructure while contributing to energy security.

Entara’s Operational Excellence Management System (OEMS) provides energy operators with a clear, integrated approach to managing risk, protecting people, strengthening asset reliability and driving continuous improvement across complex energy infrastructures.

A Structured Approach to Operational Excellence

Our Operational Excellence Management System is at the heart of how we deliver on that purpose. OEMS establishes the processes, controls and accountability needed to identify, assess and manage operational risks while continuously improving performance.

Built on the principle that incidents are preventable, OEMS helps proactively identify hazards, strengthen operational controls and reduce potential impacts on employees, contractors, communities and the environment.

Core Framework: Turning Operational Excellence Into Action

Entara’s OEMS is an integrated management framework built around 10 interrelated Core Elements operating through four continuous phases: Plan, Do, Assess and Adjust.

Each element builds on the one before it, creating a continuous cycle in which risks are identified and prioritized, controls are implemented, performance is assessed and lessons learned are incorporated back into operations.

  • Plan

    Identify risks, establish priorities, define clear expectations, and implement the systems, resources, and controls needed to manage them effectively.

  • Do

    Execute established plans and processes with clear accountability, effective operational controls and active employee and contractor engagement.

  • Assess

    Measure performance and evaluate whether critical barriers are functioning as intended and operations are delivering planned results.

  • Adjust

    Apply assurance findings, lessons learned and industry good practices to strengthen controls, improve performance and continuously advance operational excellence.

The framework is designed to be flexible. Businesses tailor implementation to their specific risks, operating environments and levels of complexity to deliver safe, responsible and sustainable operations.

Leadership That Drives Operational Excellence

Leadership and governance are fundamental to Entara’s approach to operational excellence and are reinforced by our Core Values.

Entara’s management teams are accountable for health, safety and environmental, and operational excellence performance while actively engaging employees and contractors in maintaining high standards across day-to-day operations and the impact on our external communities.

  • Visible leadership

    Business leaders champion a culture in which safe, reliable and sustainable operations are an everyday expectation.

  • Empowered workforce

    Employees and contractors are provided with the resources, tools and training needed to identify hazards, manage risks and take responsibility for safe operations.

  • Proactive risk management

    Leaders encourage early identification of hazards and emerging risks rather than waiting for incidents or performance problems to occur.

  • Long-term stewardship

    Safety, environmental responsibility, reliability, and sustainable asset performance are incorporated into operational and business decision-making.
