In this podcast episode, Mousa Yassin welcomes Myriam Perrier, Vice President of Research and Development at Perrier Consulting, to discuss her journey and contributions to health, safety, and environment (HSE) and the integration of human-centred paradigms in safety practices.
With a deep passion for Human Rights and HSE, Myriam shares her background and how her passion for human rights transitioned into a deep commitment to HSE. Growing up around her father's business, she initially found health and safety regulations boring but later discovered their profound impact on improving human conditions. This realisation shifted her career focus from international law to safety and project management.
The discussion also goes into how Myriam and her team at Perrier Consulting help organisations transform their safety culture. Through detailed diagnostics, leadership training, and fostering meaningful field interactions, they enable companies to better understand and manage safety practices. Myriam also emphasises the importance of viewing workers' behaviours within the context created by the organisation and highlights the need for leaders at all levels to take active roles in safety improvements.
Take a step back. Take time to understand a little bit more of what is in place. You cannot try to modify something that you absolutely don't understand.
Myriam goes on explaining the significance of co-creating safety systems with contractors to ensure more effective and empathetic policies. Instead of imposing rigid rules, she advocates for a partnership approach that aligns objectives and addresses challenges collaboratively. This philosophy extends beyond safety, proposing a holistic integration of quality, delivery, and financial considerations.
