Understanding the why and mastering the how: practical strategies and powerful insights for a strong safety strategy

In this episode, we are fortunate to have Clinton McDonald, VP Process and Operational safety at BP.

Clinton discussed the complexities of risk management, stressing the importance for anyone working within high risks settings to understand the 'why' behind any set of rules to encourage buy in, and to implement the “how” with fit for purpose set of controls.

Clinton also touches on how standardisation across the Industry presents a powerful advantage; by simplifying the vast array of risks into key activities and focusing on the key risks that pose the greatest threats to employees, we remove the noise and empower workers to really understand the activities, controls, and rationale behind risk management measures, making it easier for them to prioritise safety in their daily tasks.

And from personal insights on accidents and their emotional consequences to encouraging young professionals looking into making safety leadership their career, this conversation is bound to leave you inspired.
