We have invited the four Danish country managers to a Country Managers Talk to build further on the theme from last year’s Safety Conference, “working together”. Every single day people in the industry work together, so this is something the industry is in together. Our ambition is to have the country managers demonstrate that with safety and safety leadership there is an alignment in our industry. It is not something we are competing on, it is something we are working together on.This talk will focus on their personal relationship to safety and key principles of safety leadership, seen from their perspective.

Jan Willem van der Graaf CEO at Seaway Heavy Lifting will share his personal and the company story about engaging in a journey of creating an Incident and Injury-Free work environment.
 
Jan Willem came on board as the new CEO for Seaway Heavy Lifting in January 2013 when the company had just launched their Incident and Injury Free (IIF) journey a few months ago. He used this new safety approach not only to address and solve safety issues but also to create a new culture and work environment within SHL. Although there was not a lot of resistance to endeavour on an IIF journey in the first place it still took a strong personal stand and leadership to get the whole organisation believe in this approach. Top and middle management had to become IIF champions to provide safety leadership to the whole organisation – onshore and offshore.  The company trained all of their employees and many subcontractors to develop a new safety attitude, to build a strong and authentic commitment to safety, to create an incident and injury free environment and what it takes to make this happen under all circumstances. Seaway Heavy Lifting is now producing best-in-class results not only within safety, and have created a new safety culture within their organisation.

For over 40 years, IOGP has brought the upstream industry together to help identify and implement good practices in safety, health and environment.   That is still our remit.  Increasingly, however, we have become involved in other issues such as corporate social responsibility and sustainability.  Today, while we maintain the industry’s momentum on HSE improvements, IOGP is also helping to raise awareness of the importance of oil and gas in fuelling the world’s prosperity – and extending the benefits of that prosperity to the billions of people in developing nations for whom readily available, affordable energy remains an aspiration.

We have been measuring safety success wrong for far too long, we have measured our safety success by understanding safety at the individual level of our organizations.  We think the only thing we can fix is the individual worker - even safety culture has become a rather fancy code word for the collective individual behaviors we see at out worksites and on our platforms.  The problem is that measuring safety success means we have to change the way we think about doing our business.  Safety must move from an outcome to be managed to a capacity that is constantly present in our work.  
 
This presentation tackles our re-definition of safety...but not in a boring way.  In fact this presentation discusses the very idea that everything we have done this far on our performance excellence journey is important to moving us to the next place.   Safety differently is additive.   There is good news.  Read less

Many organizations have acknowledged the important role the human factor plays in improving safety. Changing the behaviour is seen as a key factor in achieving success. To make people act differently is not a simple task. What is the most effective approach to change behaviour? In the West we have a tendency to try to convince employees about the pros and cons of certain behaviour and change their attitude towards safety, but is that always the best option? Can direct behavioural interventions be successful too? What can we all do to make sustainable behavioural changes to enhance safety even further? Jop Groeneweg will give some surprising and thought provoking insights from the world of psychology and give some examples from the offshore industry and other domains to illustrate his point.
