Mr Paul Walsh
Overview
I have a proven record of delivering customer expectations. Fire risk assessments. Work place risk assessments and risk management. Asbestos compliance and contractor compliance audits. CDM advice and Construction site audits. Completion of PQQ's and RAMS. Training Services. Safety as a dynamic approach, which focuses on risk, and our ethical responsibility to do what is right for our people, the actual risks arising from our operations and discourages valueless paperwork and rules. It introduces a different way of approaching work that is a solution focused approach empowering people to trust and make decisions based on critical risk. We believe everyone has a right to return home safely every day and a duty to take care of themselves and those around them.
· Engaged People – making people the solution
· Engineered Safety – creating safety at design stage
· Focused on Risk – clearing away background noise
By continuously improving the way we work, reducing bureaucracy, we free up time to focus on high risk activities, engaging and listening to our people, while maintaining high basic site standards. Safety differantly also aligns us more closely with legal requirements and the expectations of the HSE and other regulators.
To fully understand and manage our Health and Safety risks, we must always promote and facilitate openness, honesty and trust across everyone involved in our works. As a result, we choose to focus on the learning from every incident.
As a HSE professional I focus away from traditional practices and towards being challenging, curious and actively involved in hosting, coaching, mentoring and engagement.
