Context: In Oil & Gas, TRIR is a safety KPI that shows whether high-risk work is being started under control, every time. It moves when the last mile gets treated as optional.

Challenges: Context drops during shift changes, scope shifts mid-job, and tasks start while prerequisites are still open. As rushed starts become normal, verification gets replaced by assumption.

Solution: The TRIR Readiness Guidance Agent, an AI agent built using Microsoft Copilot Studio, monitors readiness conditions at shift changes and job handovers and intervenes during permit and isolation sign-off, flagging controls that have been assumed rather than confirmed before work is allowed to start or continue.

Impact: Operators following this approach see TRIR come down, not because safety effort increases, but because execution respects the moments where rushing introduces risk.
