While explaining the theme of the forum, he said behavioural safety is a process that creates a safety partnership between management and employees that continually focuses people’s attention and actions on theirs and others’ daily safety-conscious behaviour. “Safety culture is not only shown in the general state of the premises and conditions of the machinery but in the attitudes and behaviours of the employees towards safety”, he added.
According to him, the issues of Health, Safety, Security and Environment have been integrated into daily operational systems, as HSSE has gone beyond being a departmental concern and are now part of the functions of management as well.
