The intention is to secure risk reduction and further improvements of health, safety and environment through the fostering of a sound HSE culture. However, the regulations do not define what constitutes an HSE culture. As every organisation is different, HSE policies need to be custom tailored to fit their specific needs. It is up to management to define the goals that will be used to measure HSE performance; therefore understanding that all issues relating to HSE and HSE culture fomenting, both short-term and long-term, need to be addressed at a management level. This entails continuously working to create an organisational culture that is geared towards risk reduction and HSE improvements; culture that would become part of their daily routines and not just part of a last minute effort. HSE culture requires a holistic approach, and should involve the entire organisation. The requirements in the framework regulations are merely functional; thus it is imperative to assess how management works with addressing competing interests and goals within the organisation at all levels. Furthermore, great care should be given to discover how employee participation may be cultivated and engaged. As the organisation’s HSE culture involves all company activities, it is crucial to understand the dynamics of shared responsibility at every level, and how shared responsibilities may contribute to developing a healthy and proactive HSE culture. THE SOLUTION In order to identify how the organisation’s HSE culture functions, AGR has developed a tool for measuring its level. The survey consists of 80 statements from four categories describing what we understand as contributors to a company’s HSE culture. The survey based on PSA’s own publication on HSE culture paints a picture of the current status and provides the basis for initiating and discussing improvements and the potential to further develop the HSE culture. Establishing and improving HSE culture A sound HSE culture, that encompasses all levels of business and personnel activities shall be encouraged through continuous efforts to reduce risk and improve health, safety and the environment.
