QUALITY, HEALTH, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT
QHSE
The way we manage Quality, Health, Safety and Environment (QHSE) is key to every project’s success. We’re committed to minimising risk, preventing injuries, preserving the environment, and delivering services that meet or exceed our clients’ expectations. Everyone at Osprey understands the value of a ‘right first time’ culture, and safety is designed into our solutions from start to finish.
We’re also focused on working better, together, in search of continuous QHSE improvement. By constantly developing our people’s skills, we can approach every project the right way – changing mindsets as well as behaviours.
Leadership and commitment
One of the biggest challenges we face is ensuring safety for our people (and yours). We lead by example, on site and off, setting clear standards – industry-leading standards – and expectations for all manner of QHSE criteria.
QHSE considerations are a priority for everyone at every stage and in every part of every project. Our QHSE team manages safety through line management at all levels, while providing dedicated support. As part of our QHSE management system, we work to the highest standards in alignment with our ISO accreditations.
Risk management
Risk management sits at the heart of QHSE. By analysing and understanding the risks we face, we can use tried-and-tested processes to strengthen our QHSE performance and ensure the security and safety of our clients’ assets:
- Risk-based thinking is fundamental. Every risk is assessed to capture operational, technical and QHSE aspects of a project.
- We use dynamic risk assessments, engineering risk assessments, operational risk assessments and management of change – and if appropriate, we’ll develop additional measures and criteria that are absolutely environment-specific.
- Communication is key. Everyone must know the risks involved and what we can do to mitigate and manage those risks.
Continuous improvement
As we complete a project, each project manager does a ‘look-back’ to review the QHSE events and issues. We also do an analysis of operational and technical aspects with a QHSE bias. Everyone who was involved in the project takes part, it’s how we collect essential insights that can inform our future work.
Every team has its own QHSE objectives, a QHSE action plan, and QHSE deliverables that are reviewed on a quarterly basis. These improvement programmes are also aligned to our business-wide Integrated Management System. The better we work together, the more positive our mindset towards QHSE becomes.
