COGENT SKILLS ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE WE HAVE NOW HELPED OVER 8500 DELEGATES CREATE A STRONG PROCESS SAFETY CULTURE WITHIN THEIR ORGANISATION. A proactive safety culture which is inclusive of all employees, fosters an environment where everybody feels responsible for safety. This is evident when employees seek improvements, remain aware of hazards on site and utilise systems and tools for continuous identification, monitoring, analysis and investigation. A safety culture reflects an organisation’s perceptions and beliefs regarding process safety and ‘the way things are done around here’ and therefore has the potential to strongly influence an employee’s behaviour. By focusing on your safety climate, and a tiered approach to training your employees, you will, in time, foster a positive process safety culture.
Whilst establishing a process safety culture will undoubtedly provide a great level of protection in managing hazards, monitoring its effectiveness is crucial Cogent Skills and the Process Safety Management Competence Programme Board are raising awareness and commitment in process safety through the adoption of the Process Safety Management Standards. These standards have been developed throughout a specifically designed Process Safety Management Programme of Courses and Consultancy for senior executives, managers, operators and technicians, and are relevant across all industry sectors with major accident hazard organisations. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has recognised that the adoption of this standards-based approach, can help companies achieve and demonstrate effective process safety management. If you would like to find out more about how you can adopt a strong process safety culture in 2018 you can contact a member of the Cogent Skills team on 01325 740900 or email industry@cogentskills.com
