 • 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. 

Next we need to look at set of Model procedures.

The SH&E Model Procedures provide detail on what has to be done to implement the SH&E Policy and the SH&E Standards.

The Model Procedures are used to facilitate compliance and capture best practice. They cover the full range of SH&E activities and standard model procedures have been developed by experts in the field (assisted with a range of inputs – see diagram below).

There are over 100 standard model procedures. Businesses are required to prioritise their implementation of the Model Procedures based on a risk profile of their activities and hence they logically address the most serious risks first. It is a long-term goal to achieve and sustain compliance with the Key Requirements of all the applicable Model Procedures.

The purpose of the prioritisation exercise is to give sites some focus and allow them to proceed with their SH&E management in a logical, risk-based manner, in order to develop a manageable program for implementation of the Model Procedures. This is an effective way to better utilise SH&E resources and avoid the dilution of the attention required to manage significant risks that results from resources being spread across too broad a range of activities.

Each Model Procedure identifies the issues relating to a topic and describes practical controls to be applied.  

The Model Procedure Suites are indexed as below:

• SH&E Management

• Safety

• Environment

• Engineering

• Health
