In brief
HSEQ Manager Bjarne Ytrøy explains how operational teams take ownership of proactive safety work.
Good HSEQ work depends on how the whole organisation thinks and works together. Operational teams encounter risks in practice and need good tools to manage them.
Safety culture matters most
Internal analyses show that human behaviour is behind 80–85 per cent of accidents. Abyss therefore works systematically on attitudes, safety culture, and identifying and reporting hazardous conditions.
RISK
‘What am I going to do, what could go wrong, how could injuries occur, and what can I do to prevent them?’ is the mindset behind the RISK project.
Data and learning
Operational risks are organised and analysed so that lessons can be shared and used for continuous improvement. Technical measures are implemented where they are most appropriate.
The aim is for every employee to pause, assess the risks and eliminate hazardous conditions before continuing work.
