    abstract = {In this study, a conceptual framework is presented for development and implementation of an open
source knowledge based expert system with novel controlling factors and measures for reducing work place
risks and hazards in drilling process at oil and gas industries by using LabVIEW and MySQL software.
Execution of this knowledge based expert system is to assist and facilitate the safety engineers and drilling crew
to manage the safety protocols according to the health and safety acts and regulations in both
domains (on and offshore) and prevent the injuries in hazardous research environments of oil and gas
industries because fatality rates are highest during drilling process which demands increased efforts for
improved safety plans at drilling sites. As discussed in this conceptual framework, respondent for the data
collection for proposed system will be randomly selected health and safety experts and drilling crew of major
onshore and offshore oil and gas industries from Malaysia (Petronas), Saudi Arabia (Saudi Aramco) and
Pakistan (OGDCL). This conceptual framework will explain about the research methodology that consists of
Preliminary and Post research analysis for analyzing the effectiveness and performance of the proposed expert
system based on controlling factors. Expected outcome of this study is to implement this proposed conceptual
framework for identifying the major controlling factors of accident prevention and effectiveness of proposed
expert system for safety training activities in drilling process.}
