Setting up strategic priorities within HSE
-
Companies’ commitment to high HSE standards builds employees’ trust and reflects positively on their reputation and brand. However, every company chooses a slightly different approach to achieving this goal. Why and how do companies make their choice on whether to prioritise safety culture, process safety, communication between assets, digital technologies or business continuity? How often should these strategic priorities be reviewed and updated? Given the existing HSE strategic framework, how well prepared were energy firms to cope with the multiple challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic?
