LinkedIn Profile Optimisation for HSE Managers

I structure major-hazard governance so it’s usable for shift teams and credible for regulators. That means translating COMAH requirements into clear risk controls, supported by activity-specific risk assessments and effective verification routines. I routinely review outcomes against KPIs such as LTIR/TRIR, near-miss trends, and the quality of corrective actions, ensuring actions close on time and achieve measurable effectiveness. For evidence and control assurance, I use audit checklists and management system records to demonstrate that DSEAR and COSHH controls are applied consistently across plant operations.

When incidents occur, I focus on learning that changes behaviour and systems, not just documentation. I lead investigations using ICAM-style structured analysis, then track corrective and preventive actions through to verified closure—linking each action to the underlying contributing factors. In practice, that approach strengthens permit to work quality, isolation effectiveness, and supervision of contractors, which typically reduces repeat failures. I monitor effectiveness using leading indicators such as safety observations completion rates, high-risk task audit results, and improvements in near-miss reporting quality, ensuring prevention is demonstrable rather than assumed.

I embed ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 by setting up clear processes for risk-based planning, internal audits, management review, and document control. Rather than treating standards as paperwork, I align them to operational rhythms—shift briefing cycles, maintenance windows, and contractor onboarding. My reporting approach is KPI-led: I track LTIR/TRIR, action closure performance, training completion, and audit findings trending over time so leaders can see what’s improving. For environmental performance, I also coordinate evidence for carbon reporting and waste/emissions-related metrics, ensuring decisions are traceable to data and comply with site and legal obligations.

Safety culture becomes real when competence is consistent and feedback is frequent. I run structured competence development linked to NEBOSH Diploma expectations and site training matrices, then reinforce learning through coaching, toolbox talks, and targeted behavioural observations. I use BBS-style observation techniques to identify at-risk behaviours and immediately prompt corrective feedback, while capturing themes that inform training and procedural updates. This combination helps teams move from compliance-only mindsets to proactive hazard spotting, which in turn supports sustained reductions in LTIR and strengthens day-to-day engagement with HSE processes.
