Location: USA, Dallas. Open to other destinies

Knowledge and Learning

• Organize HSW knowledge, practices, and methods and make it universally accessible and useful to all projects, companies, and levels of the organization
• Create new bodies of knowledge – conducting internal data analysis studies, e.g., precursor analysis of HiPos and SIFs, license to operate effect on SIF rate, trends in critical control failure modes, empirical studies on the effectiveness of HSW interventions, etc.
• Support operations, facilitating the transfer of knowledge and know-how across projects, business units, and regions through individual and small group meetings and interactions.
• Establish and monitor framework, to ensure that all employees are trained in relevant health and safety procedures and that they have access to appropriate resources and support.
• Keep abreast of state-of-the-art HSW practices, tools, technologies for improvement opportunities and knowledge transfer within the organization
• Manage the creation of new HSW training content that is engaging and effective.
• Establish, implement, and maintain current, a robust HSW induction and “license to operate” for all levels of the organization, including contractors.
• Establish SIF prevention, SIF precursor, etc. training as an annual requirement for all levels, including contractors.

Tools: HS Hub, Workday

Continuous Improvement

• Champion “Operational excellence with safety at the forefront,” utilizing Continuous Improvement (CI) methods, e.g., lean principles, 6S, kaizen, etc.
• Establish a CI process, e.g., involving front line operations to identify improvement opportunities, facilitate solutions, test, and measure improvement actions, and standardize the best practices that emerge across the organization.
• Develop local HSW and Operational team members, “train the trainer” programs e.g., Field Safety Engagement tool/ program to sustain local CI improvement actions.

Tools: to be developed

Supply Chain/ Contractor management

• Harmonize contractual HSW requirements of contractors and sub-tiers
• Establish a uniform system of contractor qualification and evaluation
• Develop processes for contractor HSW “license to operate” assurance

Tools: to be incorporated with existing systems / developed.

Large and Complex Projects

• Provide corporate level leadership to large and complex projects to assure Severe Injury and Fatality (SIF) Prevention.
• Work closely with BU HSW lead and Project team to ensure HSW alignment
• Support mutually agreeable HSW frameworks on Joint Venture projects
• Support BU tender of large projects from an HSW perspective
• Add value to project planning from the design phase through installation means and methods.
• Support the recruitment of the project HSW team
• Provide oversight of the HSW project plan / management system, and key indicators

Tools: Ensure corporate requirements are incorporated into JV systems
