Critical HSE Ingredients, Characteristics Needed in the Energy Industry
The biggest issues with a robust HSE culture in energy include:
- Promoting the alignment of the project/team senior management and team members in fully establishing HSE as a core project/team value
- Understanding the importance of both overt management statements and actions and implicit messages for enacting HSE as a value
- Enhancing the positive impact of day-to-day project/team management behaviors, actions and communications on HSE at the place of work
- Exploring and developing personal leadership qualities and understanding how to apply them specifically to improve HSE climate and performance in a project/team environment
- Discussing projects/team challenges and identifying team solutions
- Defining HSE leadership commitments for the project/team
- Generating pragmatic and achievable leadership actions to meet objectives and achieve world class HSE performance on the project/team
- Preparing ourselves in communicating our commitments and expectations to teams
“We understand the ineffective leadership at the senior management level inevitably leads to a lack of vision and strategy; at the middle management level a lack of skills needed to create and nurture a work safe culture, and at the frontline, supervisory level, a lack of success in the actual implementation and delivery of these safety systems,” said Werner.
Furthermore, ineffective management at all levels is the greatest impediment to developing a workable and sustainable health and safety environment.
“Leadership is not a position but a role and this role should emphasize that HSE is everybody’s business,” Werner said.
