In 2006 Shell Aircraft launched a safety improvement strategy named 7/7=1. The premise was that, at the time, the global airline industry was achieving about 1 fatal accident per million flight hours but at the same time the offshore rotary stats were more like 7 fatal accidents per million flight hours. After detailed analysis, it was found that if 7 elements were incorporated into RW ops, this could (potentially) reduce the accident rate by a factor of 7, thereby achieving the airline record. The aspiration was that a passenger would not be at any additional risk on their offshore portion of the commute, relative to an assumed FW portion before or after it. A pragmatic and realistic aspiration, it could be argued.
However, non-aviation HSE/Management in Shell found that this jarred with the Group strategy of 'Goal Zero' - no injuries/fatalities at all, and after a few years the 7/7=1 mantra was removed and now cannot even be found in web searches.
Sometimes utopiaic aspirations clash with real-world ones!
