Dear All,
In order to INFLUENCE senior and top management, the SP must, I agree, be senior enough for them to listen. If the SP is senior enough, he or she will have to know the business operations and the people who run it. Otherwise INFLUENCING becomes difficult. The SP, as stated by some of you, should be able to integrate Safety (HSE) into the operational activities and explain why certain precautions should be taken to conduct certain tasks & explain the consequences if the precautions are not followed. A lot of coaching is required by the SP. Most times the SP is unable to do this. Hence the difficulty to convince the workforce & management as to why safety (HSE) issues are important to be managed proactively as well undertake consequence management should things go wrong.
