Lifelong learning is a key element of our approach to HSE. In addition to providing the necessary training for each type of role within the company, we provide site-specific safety inductions and relevant HSE-focused upskilling for employees and contract staff.
We work with our employees, customers, partners, and suppliers to drive continual improvement, and to ensure we develop the culture, knowledge, skills, policies, systems, and processes we need. In 2023 we redefined and reinvigorated our HSE Week which a series of global and local events and activities build their knowledge and capabilities as we strive towards world-class performance.
This collaborative approach acknowledges that we all have responsibility for protecting ourselves, others, and the environment. We adopt an operational philosophy based on the principles of human and organizational performance which helps us understand how successes and failures occur. This open reporting environment enables us to learn directly from our people and find improvements.
Likewise, thousands of learning walks, internally known as safety observation tours, are conducted annually and provide a proactive means for tackling risks before they become incidents. Learning also comes from a robust program of auditing and through incident investigations. These all contribute to our monitoring and reporting across the business.
