In oil & gas, the judgment behind every safe permit and procedure lives in your most experienced people and up to 40% of it is gone within two years of their last day. See where your exposure is before it walks out.
Industry estimates. The exposure is concentrated in your highest-risk procedures and your most senior people.
of the skilled industrial workforce is set to retire within the next 5–7 years.
of what a departing expert knows is lost within two years of them leaving.
of serious incidents trace back to human and organizational factors not equipment.
Your best operators know the sound a pump makes before it fails, the step the procedure doesn’t spell out, the call to make when conditions don’t match the manual. That judgment is the difference between a safe shutdown and an incident and today it exists only in a handful of heads.
We capture how your experts actually do the work the reasoning and the workarounds, not just the checklist and turn it into guidance any worker can follow and competency you can verify in the field. The expertise stays in your operation after the expert doesn’t.
Capture the decisions behind safe work while your senior operators are still on site, and hold verifiable proof that the next crew can execute to the same standard.
Capture how your best people work and turn it into training a new hire can actually run without pulling your SMEs off the floor to shadow-train full time.
That’s the bar we build to: the reasoning behind safe work, captured while your experts are still here and made usable by the crew that follows.
Five quick questions — no internal headcount, no confidential numbers. Instantly measure your operation's exposure to retiring field knowledge.
It’s the wave of experienced workers reaching retirement age at roughly the same time, while fewer younger workers are ready to replace them. Industry estimates put about half the skilled workforce within five to seven years of retirement, putting decades of hands-on judgment at risk of leaving on a compressed timeline.
Estimates for industrial workforces suggest up to 40% of what a departing expert knows can be lost within two years of their departure, because much of it is tacit: the judgment, shortcuts and warning signs that were never written into a procedure.
Capture how experts actually do the work the reasoning behind decisions, not just the SOP steps while they’re still on the job, then turn it into guidance and verifiable competency the next crew can use. Starting 12 to 18 months before a planned retirement leaves time to capture and validate it.
More than 70% of serious industrial incidents trace back to human and organizational factors rather than equipment failure. Much of the judgment that prevents those incidents sits with experienced operators, so losing them without capturing that judgment raises risk.
Turn captured expert knowledge into training a new hire can actually run, reduce reliance on full-time mentoring, and verify competency through observation rather than assuming it after a course. This shortens the ramp and makes onboarding consistent across sites and shifts.
