2. HSE, Business Strategy Tool for
Developing Markets: A Focus on
the West-Africa Sub-Region
Presented by:
Alabi Olubunmi
at the
WASHEQ 2013 Conference
3. Background
West Africa Economic Outlook
Has some of the fastest growing economies in the
world
Estimated growth rate of 6.7% in 2013 and 7.4% by
2014
It provides a myriad of opportunities for Foreign
Direct Investments (FDI’s)
Economic barriers include Infrastructure, insecurity
and salient issues like HSE, affecting its
competitiveness
4. Background Contd....
Current Sub-Regional HSE Trend
Lack of regulator framework and legislations
Lack statistics which could form the bedrock for
implementing regulatory controls, identify high risk
sectors and setting objectives and targets
In Sub-Sahara-Africa, which includes the sub-region,
about 54,000 fatalities occur annually with 42 million
accidents.
5. Background Contd....
Gas flaring and GHG emission are still on the high
Pollution and spills are not accurately prosecuted and
accounted for
There are no proper plans for Climate Change
Mitigation and Adaptation
6. Economic Importance of the Sub-Region
Natural Resource includes;
Land for subsistence farming and cash crop
production including cocoa, rubber and timber
Major player in the Oil and Gas global market with
new reserves increasingly discovered
Large deposits of solid minerals like Diamonds in
Sierra-Leone, Gold in Mali, Ghana and Guinea
7. Economic Importance of the Sub-Region
contd....
Human Capital Resources
It has a population of over 245 million people
Some of the brightest minds in the continent are from
the region
Yet about 40% of the adult workforce is illiterate
And over 80% are exposed to the risk of accident at
work
8. Challenges to HSE in the SubRegion
Proper Regulatory Framework and Compliance
There are no regulatory or compliance mechanism
No regulatory body to supervise and monitor
businesses within member states
Lack of records keeping and inability to benchmark
data with other regions
Little or no penalty for non-compliance
9. Challenges to HSE in the Sub-Region
contd....
Education, Training and Awareness
Huge population with high illiteracy rate
Little knowledge of HSE hazards
Cultural belief that accidents are part of normal work
life
Short term focus of meeting daily needs which take
precedence over safe work environment
10. Challenges to HSE in the Sub-Region
contd....
Leadership and Corporate Commitment
There is little or no meeting point between business
and HSE
Businesses align themselves with productivity and
profit as HSE is perceived as luxury
HSE is not viewed as strategic enabler to business
sustainability
11. Challenges to HSE in the SubRegion contd....
Life Cycle Approach to HSE in Business Plans and
Processes
Lack of incorporation of HSE into business plans,
processes and programmes
HSE should be in all phases of business from
conception of an Idea through the design phase to
commissioning and decommissioning
12. Qualitative Analysis of HSE in the SubRegion
There are no statistical numbers to back quantitative
analysis
Best and Brightest hands are more willing to work for
HSE compliant companies
Recent surveys reveals some of the best companies to
work for are Multi-Nationals and indigenous firms that
adopt global best practices
Global Best Practices in this regards, refer to
Sustainability
13. Counting the Cost
Loss of Investment Opportunities
Inability to attract investment from Fortune 500
companies
Also agencies like IFC are less willing to borrow
businesses in regions with little or no HSE framework
or compliance
In Nigeria for instance with the Central Bank’s
initiation of the Sustainable Banking Principle,
businesses access to funds would become more
stringent.
14. Counting the Cost contd.....
Drop in GDP
A decline in investment would surely lower the subregion’s GDP
Refusal of other markets to take products from the
sub-region
Consequent lowered productivity is experienced
15. Counting the Cost contd.....
Inability to Break into New Markets
Loss of new markets as a result of the inability to meet
GMP requirements
HSE is a prerequisite in most countries to gain access
into their markets
16. Counting the Cost contd....
Flight of Bright /Talented Minds
Indigenous bright/talented minds are seen to move to
regions where HSE is at the cornerstone of business
This would affect human capital mobilization and
retention
17. Looking Forward
Regional and State Government’s Commitment
Regulatory framework should be design and
implemented
Set-up regulatory bodies
Ensure compliance
Lead by example
18. Looking Forward contd....
Businesses Adopting Global Best Practices
Adopting HSE practices into the life cycle of its plan,
programmes and processes
Use of efficient and cost effective HSE methodologies
Business Case to investors should highlight its HSE
objectives and targets
19. Looking Forward contd....
NGO’s and HSE Consultant Participation
Organisation of Conferences
HSE awareness amongst the public especially through
campaigns, media outreach like radio talks
Collaboration of Governments, Businesses,
Associations and Consultants to develop sectoral
guidance
20. Benefit of HSE to the Sub-Region
Sustain Business Development and Regional
Sustained Economic Growth
It would increase sub-regional productivity
Make businesses more sustainable
Help harness sub-regions potential especially in
less attractive sectors
Would increase sub-region’s GDP
21. Benefits of HSE to the Sub-Region Contd....
Retention and Attraction of Best Talents
Would help keep indigenous talents
Foreign Expatriate and West-Africans in Diaspora
would be willing to come back to help grow the subregion
22. Benefits of HSE to the Sub-Region Contd....
Breaking into New Markets
Businesses in the sub-region would easily break into
new markets
The would be a soar in foreign exchange in the region
Foreign businesses would be willing to relocate to the
region
23. Benefits of HSE to the Sub-Region Contd....
Enhancement of its Reputation
It would rank the sub-region highly amongst
international bodies like ILO
Win the confidence of varied stakeholder
It would place the region amongst the strongest
economic regions in the league of nations
24. Benefits of HSE to the Sub-Region Contd....
Other plus include a stronger, healthier, motivated and
well enlightened workforce
Also litigation and business closure would be greatly
reduced
25. Conclusion
Looking forward HSE has to be addressed like other
business aspects and should be emplaced in the very
heart of business plans and processes.
Proactive measures would help safety grow in the subregion adding value and setting precedents would
bring bout the recognition that safety requires in the
sub-region

30. In the Line of Fire!
(Pathways of fires and explosions)
What does it mean?
Simply means, In the path of an an attack.
This expression, dating from the mid-1800s,
originally referred to the path of a bullet or
other projectile, a meaning that is also still
current.
31. Line of fire or pathways of fires and explosion!
What it means, in process plant Operation
• A key factor of consideration are facility siting and
layout.
• Avoiding or minimizing Domino effect by application
of equipment spacing standards and process & non
process building evaluation.
32. In the pathway of fires and explosion
The fire and
explosion that
destroyed the West
Fertilizer chemical
plant in Texas on 17
April, 2013; killing
at least 14 people
and injuring more
than 200.
The Blast destroyed
the plant and
surrounding
buildings, including
a school and a care
home
35. Avoiding being in the line or pathway of fires
and explosions
The line or pathway separating SAFETY from Danger is sometimes quite small.
To avoid crossing the line/pathway of fires and explosion, we must,
1.
Always be aware of the hazards around us.
2.
Understand the process equipment operation philosophy and associated
inherent hazards and nature of consequences of ‘’ top event’’. e.g effects
of deflagration & detonation in a process plant operation.
1.
Take the time to think of the possible consequences from where we place
our bodies or action we perform, where we site our permanent and
portable process and non process buildings.
When we do this, we can avoid suddenly finding ourselves in the
Line of Fire or ‘’ In the pathways of fires and explosions’’
36. Overview of API 752/API 753
API 752/API 753 AND FACILITY SITING AND LAYOUT:
Facility siting is an analysis, during the PHA, of the spatial
relationship between where the hazards are located and where the
people congregate. Merely stating in the PHA that industry spacing
standards have been met is not sufficient. Industry spacing standards
(API, NFPA, etc.) are equipment-to-equipment standards, not
equipment-to- people standards.
Facility siting has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years and
is an important aspect of process safety for plant personnel and their
contractors. In December 2009, API issued the Third Edition of the
Recommended Practice 752/753, “Management of Hazards
Associated with Location of Process Plant Permanent and portable
Buildings,” which incorporated much of what has been learned from
catastrophic incidents e.g BP Texas refinery disaster, Piper Alpha,
Conoco Humber refinery etc,
37. APPLICATION OF API RP 752 & 753
AS A PROACTIVE PROCESS SAFETY TOOL TO AVOID
BEING IN THE PATHWAY OF FIRES AND
EXPLOSIONS,AND MINIMIZATION OF CONSEQUENCES
OF PROCESS INCIDENTS.
38. Why API 752/753
• Most process and non process plants buildings are sited too
close to process plant/units without due consideration to
effects of fires, explosions and toxic releases resulting from
accident.
• Portable and permanent buildings are sited, unknowingly in
the pathway of fires and explosion(unsafe zone);hence,
exposing occupants to high risk of blast, radiation and toxic
effects.
• Lots of fatality recorded as due to nearness of process and
non process plant buildings to process plants.
• To reduce unnecessary exposures of building occupancy to
effects of fires, explosions and toxic releases
40. A case for implementation of
API 752/753- BP Texas Refinery Explosion
• 15 Killed, 180 Injured
• A community devastated
• Resulted in financial losses
exceeding $1.5B.
KEY ISSUES:
• Facility Siting
•
SAFETY CULTURE
•
REGULATORY OVERSIGHT
•
PROCESS SAFETY METRICS
•
HUMAN FACTORS

42. Selected Accidents involving Buildings in Process Plant.
Date Location
Fatalities
Description
1988 Norco,
7
(Hagar,1988) (6 in buildings)
A corrosion-induced propane leak in a
fluid catalytic cracking unit resulted in an
explosion that destroyed the control
room. six fatalities occurred in or near
the control room; the seventh was
caused by a falling brick wall.
1992 Castleford,
England
(HSE 1994)
5
(5 in buildings)
Heat-sensitive and unstable nitrotoluene
residue was overheated during the
preparation for maintenance. A runaway
reaction caused a jet flame that
destroyed a wooden control room.
1975 Beek, The
14
Netherlands( (6 in buildings)
Marshall,198
7)
A propylene leak resulted in an explosion
that caused severe blast and fire damage
to the control room. All controls and
plant records were lost.
44. Guiding Principles of API 752
API RP 752 is based on the following guiding principles:
• locate personnel away from process areas consistent with safe and
effective operations;
• minimize the use of buildings intended for occupancy in close
proximity to process areas;
• manage the occupancy of buildings in close proximity to process areas;
• design, construct, install, modify, and maintain buildings intended for
occupancy to protect occupants against explosion, fire, and toxic
material releases;
• manage the use of buildings intended for occupancy as an integral part
of the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of a facility.
Examples of buildings intended for occupancy include, but are not limited to:
• conference rooms; control rooms; laboratories with assigned personnel;
lunchrooms; maintenance shops with assigned personnel; offices; training
rooms; warehouse buildings with assigned personnel;
45. Management of Hazards Associated with Location
of Process Plant Portable Buildings
API RECOMMENDED PRACTICE 753
PURPOSE
The purpose of this recommended practice is to provide guidance for
reducing the risk to personnel located in portable buildings from
potential explosion, fire and toxic release hazards.
46. Guiding principles
This recommended practice is based on the
following guiding principles:
• Locate personnel away from covered process areas
consistent with safe and effective operations
• Minimize the use of occupied portable buildings in
close proximity to covered process areas
• Manage the occupancy of portable buildings,
especially during periods of increased risk including
unit start-up or planned
• shut-down operations
• Design, construct, install, and maintain occupied
portable buildings to protect occupants against
potential hazards
• Manage the use of portable buildings as an
integral part of the design, construction,
maintenance, and operation of a facility.
Portable buildings
intended for occupancy
Portable buildings
intended for occupancy
include, but are not
limited to:
• Offices
• Training rooms
• Orientation rooms
• Lunch rooms
• Conference rooms
• Control rooms
• Laboratories
• Change houses
• Maintenance shops
47. Assessment Approach and Scenario Selection
Consequence Based Approach-CBA
The methodology used for building siting evaluation that is based on consideration
of the impact of explosion, fire and toxic materials release which does not
consider the frequency of event.
Risk-based approach-RBA
A quantitative risk assessment methodology used for building siting evaluation that
takes into consideration numerical
values for both the consequences and frequencies of explosion, fire, or toxic
material release.
Spacing Tables Approach -STA
The “spacing tables” approach uses established tables to determine minimum
separation distances between equipment and buildings intended for occupancy.
Industry groups, insurance associations, regulators, and owner/operator companies
have developed experience-based spacing tables for minimum building spacing for
fire.
48. Overall process for a Building Siting Evaluation
Step-1
• Select Approach
Step-2
• Define siting criteria
Step-3
• Determine the scope of the siting evaluation by identifying buildings
intended for occupancy
Step-4
• Determine if buildings within the scope are potentially impacted by
explosion, fire or toxic release
Step-5
• Perform an assessment of consequence of explosions, fires, and toxic
releases on buildings intended for occupancy
Step-6
• Evaluate buildings against siting criteria. For existing buildings, prepare
mitigation plans if criteria are not met.
Step-7
• For new buildings, feed results into the building design process.
49. Building Siting Evaluation Criteria for the
Consequence-based Approach
Building siting evaluation criteria for the consequence-based approach can
be expressed as building exposure criteria or consequence criteria. These
criteria are specific to the materials of construction, building design, and
hazard type (explosion, fire, toxic material release).
Building exposure criteria are typically expressed as:
• blast load,
• thermal flux and exposure time,
• flammable gas concentration, or
• toxic concentration and exposure time.
Consequence criteria are typically expressed as:
• occupant vulnerability,
• potential building damage, or
• building internal environment degradation (i.e. inability to support
human life).
50. Building Siting Evaluation Criteria for the
Risk-based Approach
Building siting evaluation criteria for the risk-based approach shall
address the risk to the building occupants as a
group (aggregate risk) and the risk to an individual.
An owner/operator may choose to establish a single risk criterion
that addresses both individual and aggregate risk. Building siting
evaluation criteria may be expressed as numerical values of
individual risk, aggregate risk or exceedance values.
They can also be expressed as graphical formats
which include cumulative frequency vs consequence (F/N) curves, or
matrices with numerical axes.
51. Software Application in Modelling of Consequences of
Fires and Explosions
•
•
•
•
Onshore Building Siting Capability
Explosion Simulations (FLACS)
Leading CFD software for gas explosion calculations
Gas dispersion modelling
55. Management Responsibilities
under API RP-752 and API RP-753
• Meeting Expectations-Management’s Role in the process
Management sets the criteria considering their corporate values and how building siting is
integrated into the balance of their process safety program.
e.g use of CBA,RBA,STA or combination of either of them to identify the major scenarios at a
facility, and then use a Building Damage Level(BDL) as acceptance criteria.
- Management should ensure that competent persons should only carryout building siting
evaluation. Among the areas of competency that may be needed are:
HAZID
Scenario development
Frequency assessment
Flammable and toxic gas dispersion modeling
Fire modeling
Explosion modeling
Blast response of building
Fire resistance of building
Toxic ingress into buildings
Occupant vulnerability and
QRA techniques
• Maintaining the process
Management of Change(MOC) system should be in place and effectively implemented to identify
the events that could trigger a need to re-evaluate the siting for the affected areas.
56. Conclusion
Consequence of fires, explosions and toxic releases on occupants of buildings in
process plants could be significantly reduced where instituted barriers fails by:
•
Considering adoption or implementation of facility siting and building evaluation.
•
Conduct QRA to gather relevant data from modeling of maximum credible
postulated scenarios of various consequence of fires, explosions and toxic
releases.
Make use of QRA Data in engineering design
•
•
Implementation of MOC to manage all changes relating to the removal, addition or
modification of portable and permanent buildings in process plants.
•
Using one or combination of the various Assessment Approach and Scenario
Selection e.g CBA,RBA and STA etc

Serious
Competition!
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle
wakes up; it knows it must run faster
than the fastest lion or it will not
survive.
Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes
up; it knows it must outrun the
slowest gazelle or it will starve.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion
or a gazelle: When the sun comes up,
you had better be running!

CAUSES of Competition: advances in communications, computing,
transportation technologies, and the consumer has a wide variety of
choices for their purchases - Global Village, Internet etc.
To produce a service or a product companies run process
A company that understands the behavior of its processes is able
manage it processes better, manage the company better and therefore
is more competitive. AVOID BEING IN THE LINE OF FIRE!
This is a fundamental fact many companies have known for years, yet it
has only been over the past several years that they are starting to do
something significant about it.
Whether you are a gazelle or a lion, you better be running as fast
as you can if you want to survive in today’s economy.
Six Sigma Learning Materials By Titilola Awogboro

The Basis of competition is: Price, Delivery and Quality
A frequently used definition of quality is “Delighting the customer by
fully meeting their needs and expectations”.
Organisations must knows what these needs and expectations are.
(Delighters)
Having identified them, the organisation must understand them,
and measure its own ability to meet them.

"Six Sigma: A comprehensive and flexible system for achieving, sustaining and
maximizing business success. Six Sigma is uniquely driven by close understanding
of customer needs, disciplined use of facts, data and statistical analysis, and diligent
attention to managing, improving and reinventing business processes.“
By Panda, Neuman and Cavanagh
Six Sigma requires everyone develop a new
way of looking at how they approach their
work.
Six Sigma is a collection of many old and
new tools that enable quality management.
Six Sigma is a methodology, metric and
management system - Motorola
Symbolized by the Greek Alphabet.
Six Sigma aligns with business strategy,
providing the workforce with new knowledge
and capabilities that enable better
organization of process activities based on
identified problems. This enables the
organization to make better decisions.

Six Sigma quality methodology uses the very
best from existing Total Quality Management
together with Statistical Process Control and
Measurement, and strong Customer Focus, and
therefore impacts on three key areas: the
process, the employee, and the customer.
Six Sigma Learning Materials By Titilola Awogboro

68. 9
The definition of Six Sigma brings out a few key
points:
Change will be driven by the desire for perfection, with a low
tolerance level for failure, QUALITY must never, never be
compromised
All change will be conducted in COLLABORATIVE manner
with stakeholders
Leadership, Management and Task Orientation will be
PROACTIVE
Change will be CUSTOMER DRIVEN and must lead to
significant improvements in Business Performance
Performance Measurements will be driven by FACTS, DATA
AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
Business Process change will be INCREMENTAL and where
necessary redesigned

Environmental Management Systems
99. Environmental Impact Assessment
A detailed assessment of the impacts (negative
and positive) associated with a proposed project
on the environment, consisting of environmental,
social and economic aspects. It is a tool which
aims to predict environmental impacts at an
early stage in project planning and design as
well as find ways and means to reduce adverse
effects
100. Environmental Monitoring
Processes involved in monitoring the
environment to enable one find out and
characterize the quality of the environment
over time. It can involve air monitoring,
emissions monitoring, water monitoring
and even noise monitoring
101. Environmental Auditing

respond coherently to an unplanned event.
It ensures there is timely, measured and
effective response to incidents, prevents
incidents from getting worse and keeps
authorities and staff prepared
104. Oil Spills
The release or presence of
crude oil or refined oil
products into the
environment
It more often than not
refers to marine oil spills
where oil is released into

120. Conclusion
Environmental Incidents are bound to occur. What is key is
having a contingency plan in place to contain and prevent
further damage to the environment.
Having in place an Environmental Management System that
WORKS is also very necessary in continual improvement of
processes.
It is also necessary to think of Environmental Awareness
trainings for staff, so that they understand fully the effects of
what they do to the environment
121. Conclusion
In our own little way, we all have an individual
responsibility to protect the environment we work
in.
Finally !!!!!!!!!!
What ever we do to the environment is but a mirror
reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to
one another. The truth is the environment will still
remain in whatever condition we leave it.
WE HAVE TO THINK OF THE
ENVIRONMENT AS WE THINK
OF HEALTH AND SAFETY

PRESENTATION SUMMARY
TITLE: THE IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL INCIDENTS – COMPREHENSIVE HSEQ
PRACTICES
AUTHOR: IFEANYI ENEBELI (ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT, CARES NIG. LTD)
Environmental incidents while rare, tend to result in wide spread impacts that may require
extensive remediation. While traditional health and safety impacts are well managed due to
the obvious result, holistic solutions for health, safety, environment and quality are needed.
This talk aims to provide you with an overview of the potential issues, case studies of relevant
incidents and relevant management solutions.

156. Current Situation.
“Too often safety is neglected. There must be cultural
and behavioural change.”
Royal Commission into the Building and Construction Industry, Final Report, ReformOccupational Health and Safety, Volume 6, 2003
157. BBS Overview.
--I’m sure most of us would agree safe
behaviour is a critical element of health and
safety Management
• -Incidents measure behaviour of staff,
contractors and visitors but are obviously
reactive
• -As safety professionals we are interested in
turning health and safety management
system into reality and providing a safe place
of work to staff, contractors and visitors
158. Overview.
• -For many behavioural Safety is the
latest initiative but is it not what
we as Safety professional are all
about?
• -Behavioural safety allows us to
ask WHY people behave unsafely,
which is fundamental to changing
individual behaviour,
• -Understanding how people are
organised, managed, motivated,
rewarded and how their working
environment, equipment may not
actually deal with the root issue
159. Behavioural Safety in Organization.
• In organisations, it is usually the
‘human’ that is seen in human
error which they tend to refer to
as being front line staff, consider
your organisation how many
incident forms have you seen
where the investigation report
included a manager stating that
they have told the employee to
be more careful!!!!
160. Behavioural Safety.
• If behaviours are not recognised
and the management system put
in place to prevent that
behaviour then an unsafe
condition will apply- for instance
hard wiring safety guards to
prevent staff over ridding them.
• For staff to behave safely they
must understand the process
knowledge to be able to respond
appropriately to all conditions
161. AIM
• To ensure that everyone
Involved recognise their personal
responsibilities, are Pro-actively
encouraged and Challenged, and
work within a culture that
supports a progressive
improvement in all aspects of Safe
managements System
In our Organization
162. Objective.
At the end of the Conference Session
each Deligate should be able to:
• Appreciate their Role in
Behavioural safety Programme.
• Identify the approach & Tools for
an effective behavioural safety
Programme..
• Participate in their behavioural
Safety Program.
163. Introduction.
• Behaviour based safety (BBS) emphasizes that
employees need to take an ownership of their
safe as well as unsafe behaviours. If they
behave unsafe, they are not punished, instead
they are repeatedly told to correct, and when
they behave safe, they are encouraged. Both
safe and unsafe behaviours are counted and
displayed. BBS also discusses the unsafe
conditions that influence unsafe behaviours.
164. INTRODUCTION Count:
• BBS is a data driven decision-making process. BBS believes
that what gets measured gets done and each employee can
make a difference in organizational safety. Employees are the
basic source of expertise of behavioural change (observe and
correct). BBS begins by briefing sessions for all work areas and
depts. BBS is a teamwork; it is company wide and peopledriven. BBS purpose is not to enforce safety rules, force
change, gossip about others, reporting to boss. Its purpose is
to identify safe and at risk behaviours, identify possibility for
injury, communicating the risk and helping to identify safer
solutions. An implementation team or BBS steering
committee monitors its progress. Essentially BBS is not a
management driven tool for safety. It is an employee driven
approach with management support.
165. What is Behavioural Safety.
• Dan Petersen on behavior-based safety
“…as I look at what we, as safety practitioners,
have done to the best concepts for possible
improvement, it seems we have done everything
possible to make sure this (the behavior based
safety) approach will fade away -- just another
“safety program of the month.” Maybe the
answer is to learn how to manage safety and
health first, then implement these behaviorbased approaches.”
166. Behavioural Based Safety:
• A Behaviour-Based Safety (BBS) is a
process through which work groups
can identify, measure and change
their behaviours.It is a process that
applies the principles of the
Antecedent Behaviour Consequence
(ABC) behaviour model. This
assumes that all behaviours have one
or more antecedents or activators or
prompts which initiate the behaviour
and one or more consequences that
either encourage or discourage
repetition of the behaviour.
167. Behavioural Based Safety.
• An excellent tool for
collecting data on the
quality of a company’s
safety management
system.
• A scientific way to
understand why
people behave the way
they do when it comes
to safety.
168. Why BBS ?
• Analysis of incidents shows that +/- 90% of them
have the behaviour of the person(s) involved as a
key contributing factor. Of the 10% remaining, +/90% of them have the behaviour of a person, not
directly involved in the incident, as a contributing
factor.Increasing the number of safe behaviours
being performed is essential for incident
elimination. Behaviour Based Safety helps with
this. It is not a silver bullet or the solution however.
It is a process that goes along with the other
elements of a good incident reduction Program.
169. Behavioral Safety Modification
The Modification of Behaviour is then the
Integration of this new Improved behaviour
into Standards best Practice to form a critical
part of “How Business is Done”
The Well Established Principles that underpin
the modification of Human behaviour include
the Following:
170. Behaviour Can be Measured.
• But first,it has to be defined so that Everyone
understand what is being measured and ,
crucially,observable and observed. Key
safe(and Unsafe) Behaviour(KSB) list of Critical
Behaviour List(CBL) are a vital Starting point in
the process of Modifying Behaviour.
171. Behaviour is a function of its
Known,or perceived,Consequences
• Personnel will behave in a certain way untill the
Consequences Change and Become
unfavourable(An Accident) or they become
Convinced that they will change so that their
belief and values change.
• The Antecedents-Behaviour-Consequences(ABC).
Analysis is one technique that can be used to develop a plan
to recognise, and Change Consequences and
Antecedents(Trigger) in such a way as to increase Desired
behaviour.
172. Let’s look at Behaviour Principle
Safety in the workplace is a
combination of three
measurable components:
the personnel( Knowledge, Skills,
Ability, Intelligence, Motives), their Work
environment(Tools ,machines
,procedures & Facilities) and their
Behavior.(What the person does on the
Job)
Only when these three
elements are combined can
workplace accidents be
eliminated.
173. Behaviour
• Behaviour is a Function
of:
• Activators (what
needs to be done)
•
Competencies
(how it needs to be
done)
•
Consequences
(what happens if it is
done)
•
174. Personnel Behaviour is both.
therefore
Behavior can be managed !
•
Observable
•
Measurable.
175. Behaviour Can be Changed By
Providing positive Reinforcement.
• Thanks, acknowledge of, and Praise for safe
behaviour and support from colleaque and
management will encourage behavioural
change. All too often organizations will reward
good safety behaviour . They Prefer to Use
Discipline and purnishment of Poor safety
Behaviour,which actually reinforces the taking
of short cuts.
176. Behaviour Rainforcement.
• R+ : any consequence
that follows a behavior
and increases the
probability that the
behavior will occur
more often in the
future - You get
something you want
Good safety
suggestion ken!
Keep bringing
‘em up!
177. Negative Reinforcement
• R- : a consequence
that strengthens any
behavior that reduces
or terminates the
behavior - You escape
or avoid something you
don’t want.
One more report like
this and you’re out
here!!
179. Features of Behavioural
Modification Programmes.
• There are Numbers of basic features of
behavioural Safety Modification Programes,
including those that also incorporate safety
culture change, and this are now listed.
Ownership: Without Doubt,the best result are
obtained when there is a clear management
commitment to support the process stemming
Right from Top level in the Organization.
180. Behavioural Modification.
• Safety Culture: As stated above ,there is evidence
that,unless managers and Workforce accept that
there is a need to change ,no lasting Changes will be
made.
• Who leads the programe: This can be external
consultants or In-House HSE Specialist or a
combination of both.
• Safe and Unsafe Behaviour Definition: an essential
Starting point,or marker,on the road improvement.
These definitions can be generated from previous
injury,or accident data,or from Risk Assessment.
181. Behavioural Modification.
• Training: Includes Training in the need to follow
existing safe Practices and in
techniques.(Probably New to organization) for
improving behaviour
• Observation Process: what should be observed
and By whom.(Key safe Behaviour,unsafe act…..)
• Establishing Base Lines: these will include
accident statistics but will also incorporate the
important area of “input” or preventive
measurements such as audits and safety
inspections.
.(standard safe way of working, behavioural modification principles)
182. Tools
FEEDBACK AND REINFORCEMENT: all real and
perceived barriers to people providing
feedback about injuries and near misses need
to be broken down. Positive management
support, trust, respect, general concern and
encouragement are vital to this. It is also
important to get workforce, and trades union,
endorsement and “buy in”- vital to
development of a “no blame” culture.
183. Behavioural Modification.
• TARGETS AND GOALS: should be set
participatively between management and
workforce and should be realistic and
achievable. They should be changed as time
proceeds to enable progressive attainment of
the long term vision.
• AUDIT AND REVIEW: The results of the
programme, against the target that have been
set and other features, should be reviewed,
audited and, if necessary amended on a
scheduled basis.
184. Behavioural Modification.
• WHEN DOES THE PROGRAMME END?: the
simple answer is “never” even the very best
(world class) organizations, in safety
management terms, are always seeking
further improvement even though their safe
practices have become ‘the way we do it here’
strife for Behaviour improvement.
186. Behavioural Modification Tools
• Time out For safety(TOFS): Is a tool developed
by BP Amoco, initially for their Drilling
team,but subsequently used by their entire
Platform crew.(Stop for safety concern).
• Take 2: Exxon introduced “TAKE 2” at the
Fawley(Hampshire uk) site in the 1990’s.
Supervisor and his team, take two Minutes at
the start of each work activity to discuss, and
think through,the various aspects of activity.
Potential hazard,what could go wrong and
Preventive Action.
187. Tools
• Recovery Behaviour: is a process whereby
personnel pause to check their last, or next
action(s),before proceeding further with a job,in
order to ensure that they they will not result in
incident, accident or other adverse Condition.
• Mental Imaging: This is focussing of the old
addage of ‘look before you leap’ personnel are
trained to imagine or visualize in their mind the
worst accident that could happen to them as a
result of what they plan to do.
188. Tools.
• Advanced Safety Audit : ASA is a designed to
enhance the ability of managers and
Supervisors to engage in positive interactions
with the workforce about Safety and,
therefore tackles the other overall barrier(In
addition to the workforce-related one) to
improve safe Behaviour.
189. Tool
• Safe and Unsafe Act Discussion(SUSA ): Is a trade
marked Product of john Ormond Management
consultants Ltd.it is a ‘one to one’ discussion tool
aimed at praising safe Behaviour and identifying
Actual,or potential,unsafe Behaviour.
• Safety Training and Observation
Programme(STOP): is a tool developed by Du pont.
It is a five stages process of deciding to make
observations ,observing people and situations to
identify unsafe behaviours,acting upon those
observations and reporting,reviewing and collating
the observations and Corrective Actions.
TM
190. Tools.
• Crew Resource Management(CRM): is a tool
developed initially by the united states
aviation industry, and also by shipping, and
other, industries to utilize the collective input
of members of a crew, from the ship, or
aircraft, captain down, to improve safety, and
other, behaviors by avoidance of error and
error management.
191. Tools
• Safety self-management, particularly for lone
workers: safety-management methods and
tools were initially developed to address a
range of “non-safety” human activities such as
stress, weight loss, over eating, time
management, smoking, depression and others
but they are very easily applicable to safety.
Self Observation, Recording and follow up.
192. Tools
• An alternative approach: Although not a tool
or technique as such, Ref 18(BBS Guide)
details an approach that, in words of the
author “questions the accepted wisdom”
about the subject of human error. The view of
the Author is that it is extremely difficult to
change people’s tendency to make error and
more beneficial to change work Environment
for better by Engineering Design and
Managerial Mean.
193. Tools
• A practical guide for behavioural change:
The Behavioural Issues Task Group of the UK oil
and gas industry has produced a review of the
available information on behavioural issues
and related topics and a guide on how to
select and implement suitable programmes
for various situations .This review discuss the
importance of Behavioural issues and present
a model for Behavioural Safety improvement.
194. Tools
• B-SHARP: B-SHARP, developed by ABB
Eutech(Ref 190) is primiraily a tool designed to
assess, and aid the improvement of, safety
culture. However,it incorporates a range of
behavioural modification techniques and
process including problem solving
presentation skill,observation and feed back
skill,and others.
195. Tools
• Self-managing teams (SMTs): The concept of
self-management has been extended into
operation by small teams of workers .SMT s
are typically high performing team of 5-15
people with the technical Skill,knowledge and
Authority to make decisions that would
formely enhance safe Behaviour.
196. Pause !
• Appreciating Behavoural
safety it saves Cost and
Enhances Operation
Excellence.
199. Attitude is the Key.
Attitudes
Are inside a person’s head -therefore they
are not observable or measurable, However
attitude can be changed by changing
behavior.

246. Problem Statement
Construction industry has earned the reputation of
a highly hazardous industry because
There is high incidence of accident and fatality rates.
A lot of workers both the skilled and the unskilled lose
their lives and more are maimed and injured on site.
Accidents, incidents, injuries and fatalities continue to
occur unabated (Singh A. Hinze, 1997).
247.
248.
249.
Most of the accidents in construction industry occur
because :
Workers in construction sites have to face constant change
in the nature of work
251.
There is also mix of experienced
and unskilled workers both
professionals, casuals and amateur.
252.
To develop reasonable and efficient safety supervision
system
To address the high rate of accidents, injury and
fatality in the Nigerian construction industry
To propose a conceptual framework of safety culture
in construction industry in order to provide a safe
working environment
253. Safety culture:
Is a term used to demonstrates "the attitudes, beliefs,
perceptions and values that employees share in relation to
safety" (Cox and Cox,1991).
A set of beliefs, norms attitudes and social technical practices
that are concerned with minimizing exposure of individuals,
within and beyond an organization to conditions considered
dangerous or injurious (Mohd Saidin and Abdul Hakin,
(2007b).
It describes the way we feel, act, think and make decisions in
relation to safety.
254. “Developing safety culture
….. “means creating a culture
of safety whereby the workers are constantly
aware of hazards in the workplace, including
the ones that they create themselves. It
becomes second nature to the employees to
take steps to improve safety”
(Dilley and Kleiner, 1996)”.
255. According to Mohd Saidin and Abdul Hakin (2007), the elements that
influence the development of safety culture in construction industry include:
Leadership
Involvement
Recognition system and acknowledgement
Training
Communication
Teamwork
Motivation
Safety and Health committee
Workers’ behavior
Work environment
Policy and safety planning

MANAGEMENT
LAGOS STATE APPROACH
A PAPER PRESENTED BY MR. FEMI KENNEDY GIWA
AT WEST AFRICAN SAFETY, HEALTH, ENVIRONMENT AND QUALITY
CONFRERENCE HELD AT THE SEVEN STAR EVENT CENTER IKEJA ON
THURSDAY 31ST OCTOBER, 2013.
266. PREAMBLE
Lagos State is the Centre of Excellence in the Nation providing Social,
Economic and Environmental incentives that are lacking elsewhere. The State
located in South West Nigeria houses over 75% of the nation’s
manufacturing/commercial activities making it the beautiful bride to all and
sundry.
It
is
cosmopolitan
and
metropolitan
in
nature.
Also domicile in the state are one International Airport and one domestic
Airport as well as two seaports. These features indeed bequeath on the state the
status as the Centre of Commerce. However, the small landmass of 3,577sq km
and the population of over 18million people with the ever increasing migration
of people to the state create undesirable entropic reactions with attendant
output referred to as disaster with a wide range of negative impacts on the
citizenry
of
the
state
and
the
environment
at
large.
The negative impacts of disaster include; injuries, loss of live and properties,
death, environmental degradation, pollution and post traumatic impact on
families
of
decease.
267. •
EMERGENCY/DISASTER
Emergency: is a sudden, unforeseen dangerous occurrence in
the human environment that causes serious disruption of the
ecological dynamics in the environment causing widespread
human, material and environmental losses, which is within the

273. EMERGENCY AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT: LAGOS STATE
APPROACH.
The state has put in place holistic approach in managing emergency/disaster in the state
which encapsulate the four(4) phases/cycle of disaster management. Which include;
(A) Establishment of Command and Control Centre/Toll free Emergency no; 767/112
The state in recognition of the importance of information dissemination in quick
response to disaster scenario established a command and control centre which is
adequately furnished with state-of-the-art communication equipment and human
resources to receive emergency/disaster distress call through its toll free emergency
numbers; 767/112. Upon receipt of these calls at the call centre, emergency
responders in the state are immediately informed such that necessary resources are
mobilized to scenes of various disaster for search and rescue operation to save lives
of victims as well as properties in the state.
(B)
Coordinated Emergency/Disaster Response Through a Well Defined Command
Chain.
The Emergency Response of the state is well coordinated, swift, prompt and
effective. The effectiveness of the Emergency response/disaster intervention
culminating into search and rescue operation is as a result of a well defined command
structure of the state. Every emergency responding agencies has put in place internal
dispatch protocol as per vertical flow of authority as prescribed by the coordinating
agency (LASEMA). Thus, during emergency/disaster intervention relevant stakeholders
have been assigned specific tasks and responsibilities in conducting search and
rescue of disaster victims as entrenched in the Lagos State Emergency Response
Action Plan.
