 • 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. 

We make this commitment to our employees, contractors, customers, shareholders and the community as we work towards our vision of

Value people and the environment

Three Ps – Plant, People, Procedure

Well, now is the time to look at this three legged stool again.

And what we need to consider in developing  SHE Management Plan.

• Equipment and materials that are designed and maintained fit for purpose (Plant).

• Well communicated principles and behaviours that promote continuous SH&E performance improvement through leadership and personal responsibility (People).

• A SH&E Management System with systems of work that ensure the integrity of plant and people-based control measures are sustained (Procedures).

Today let us have a look at Plant.

It talks about design and maintenance of plant and equipment and materials used for the same. Now, how would one develop plan around it?

Let us look at the given below key pointers. Do we have systems and procedures in place to deal with these requirements effectively? We need to see that these elements are part of SHE Management Plan.

 Design standards

 Hazard Study  

 Effective maintenance programs

 Modifications management systems

 Critical systems, equipment and controls

 Basis of Safety

 Expert Panels and Significant Risk Working Groups

 Responsible Engineers

 Process safety

 Product Stewardship

Your plants are designed to which Standards? There are Standards existing globally and then we have Indian Standards. You will invariably see that all aspects of plant and machinery are covered through Standards. In the Implementation Phase we will see how to go about extracting and preparing a list of applicable standards for your set up.

Hazard Study is a vast subject and will be dealt with when we reach that point.

Effective Maintenance Program is key to Plant safety as the operating statement says

Modifications, Critical systems, Basis of safety, risk Assessment, responsible Engineering, Process Safety, Product Stewardship are all key to SHE Management Plan concerning Plant and should for part of it.

All these aspects would be elaborated in detail when we come to implementation stage.
