Safety

Planning, Scheduling, and Safety

All of us have seen the aftermath of those who defied the traffic sign “Drive slowly! Do not exceed the speed limits" or "Slow down, dangerous curve."  

As you drive on the highway, you begin to recognize that many drivers just ignore the speed limit and drive 10, 20, or sometimes 30 kilometers per hour over the limit.

Everyone knows that speed kills, and seeing someone traveling above the limit makes us question how any intelligent person can commit such a reckless act. It is one of the number one ways to cause or get into a car accident. 

The Power To Save A Life

As we discussed last time, the resource-loaded schedule represents a project manager’s most valuable tool for understanding and controlling the time and money requirements on any given project. With a continued focus on schedule importance, this article seeks to understand the correlation between schedule pressure and safety performance. More specifically, does a protracted or compressed schedule contribute to an increase in recordable injuries, near misses or safety incidences?

SHEM - Safety, Health & Environment Management

The SHEM Management System provides a structured set of controls for managing  SHE in the business; to ensure and to demonstrate that SHE objectives are met.  In practice it is a systematic and fit for purpose way of managing SHE risks through policy, personnel, resources and procedures.

It is not documentation alone or separate from the business - it is the way everything is done/managed
