The Neil George Safety System (or 5-Point Safety System) is an occupational health and safety program developed for and used in underground mining. The system was developed in 1942 by Canadian engineer Neil George, who at the time was an employee of Inco Limited in Sudbury, Ontario. The program is used throughout Canada and internationally.

Heinrich's classic work was refuted by a 1980 book Industrial Accident Prevention, by Nestor Roos, H Heinrich, Julienne Brown and Dan Petersen. [6]Heinrich Revisited: Truisms or Myths by Fred A. Manuele, CSP, PE [2002, ISBN 0-87912-245-5 published by National Safety Council offers the following in the last chapter.
Shear rams may be used as a last resort [17] to cut through the drill pipe and shut off everything, including whatever might be coming up inside the drill pipe. Studies done for the Minerals Management Service have questioned the reliability of shear rams in deep-water drilling. Figure 1 shows the result of a 2002 study on offshore oil rigs.
Deepwater wellbore integrity can be defined as the application of relevant engineering techniques and operational measures in deepwater drilling to control related risks during the drilling process, ensuring that deepwater oil and gas wells are always in a safe state throughout their entire life cycle.

Amongst the collection of tools, the Rushmore Drilling Index and Rushmore Drilling Index & Estimated Drilling Days, both designed and owned by the company, are particularly noteworthy. Designed as objective tools for well planning, they index the difficulty and indicate the amount of time a planned well is likely to take to drill to target depth.
