There are a total of 85 EHSS standards in place, and in 2020 we have carried out extensive internal engagement and communication to ensure that staff understand them ahead of full implementation in 2021. These will provide, for the first time, consistent standards and expectations of behaviour across all areas of activity, including all affiliates and contractors.
MSHEM sits alongside a range of other initiatives designed to address specific areas of practice. In 2020, these focused on how we proactively identify, contain and control risk, improve awareness and training around our "Life Saving Rules" and established an EHSS competency framework for all employees.
These specific initiatives are part of a wider culture change across the organization, which positions safety as everyone’s responsibility, not something that is solely down to a specific department. This is why, in 2020, we have been striving to embed safe working practices across the organization, with training, EHSS Ambassadors, an EHSS Centre of Excellence, and supporting the development and delivery of action plans for every part of the business.
