IN SUMMARY.
IMPLEMENTING HSE-MS.
Where do we start ?
A suggested strategy:
➢ HSE Policy and Commitment (Endorsed by CEO)
➢ CEO appoints HSE – MS Custodian
➢ Compile Hazard Register (Understand what to manage)
A. Hazards/Threats/Potential Consequences identified
B. Location/Activities/Tasks/Controls identified
C. Positions/HSE competence/Training needs identified
D. Gaps identified and documented in a Remedial Action Plan
Now set up the HSE organisation required to maintain the necess
ary barriers and controls
