 • SH&E is a line management responsibility. Ownership and accountability for SH&E performance is embedded in the line at all levels and Line Managers are responsible for providing SH&E leadership and for development and implementation of SH&E management plans for their areas of responsibility. 

This message to the team, however, has to come right from the top. It could be Chairman or MD of the company. By making such communication to the team they also take direct responsibility and the message has to flow directly from top till the lowest contract operator working in the plant.

We keep hearing about SHE Leadership and then we have host of Training Modules on the same. But we need to take a step back and think what people at different levels are expected to do to demonstrate SHE Leadership?

    

How many of your workmen ever complaint about poor house-keeping standards, over stocking of material, poor engineering standards (eg. loose wiring etc.) in plant?

How many of your workmen have ever talked to you about some training program which would help them performance better at work place?

How many of them have ever pointed out any safety related short comings (eg. slippery floor etc.) in plant?

How many of your supervisors and even managers have raised such points?

If not too many then SHE Leadership, I am afraid, is lacking at your work place and you need to do something about it.

What you need to do is to make then raise such points till it becomes a habit.

One simple way of doing such things is to have a time bound contest with winner declared every week for best suggestions from work place. There should also be appreciation for raising a point by way of displaying entries etc.

Other way is show your leadership by visiting plant regularly and raising points to make people workmen what they should be looking for.

These actions of yours are SHE Leadership by you! And you will see that one would lead to another and there would be cascading effect. What hundreds can do and impact of the same would be far more than what you can do single handedly!
