The Spring edition of Industrial Fire Journal carries an article about our work with Nynas UK AB. Nynas Oil Refinery is 
regulated by the UK’s HSE as a top tier COMAH (Control of major accident hazards regulations) site due to the volume of oil products it handles. They wanted to improve the realism of their regular emergency exercises by using actors to simulate casualties.

When small companies have ambitious growth targets, they need to introduce the systems, processes and ways of working that better support a global organization. Maersk Oil introduced more effective business performance management tools. Alongside these was the need for cultural change among regional leadership teams in which they embrace a ‘consult and facilitate’ style to improve their decision-making practice.
This case study describes the programme we created with Maersk Oil and the impact it has had on their business performance – Developing leadership culture: moving from a small company to a global organization.
This article of mine – Make Yourself Heard – appears in the February edition of Health and Safety at Work magazine. It 
argues that HSE professionals need to broaden their knowledge base and develop their influencing skills in order to communicate a stronger message to board directors and senior managers. Read More
We’ve written a series of five articles for Renewable Energy Magazine which explores the health & safety challenges 
facing the onshore wind energy sector during difficult economic times. As has been highlighted throughout this series, the development of an effective safety culture should be a board level concern, particularly for organizations operating in high risk industries such as the wind sector.
The articles are supported by commentary from Chris Black, Head of Health, Safety and Quality at ScottishPower Renewables and former chair of the RenewableUK Health & Safety Lessons Learnt scheme, and David MacDonald, Civil Engineering Director at Global Construction (part of the GE Energy Group).

Emergency exercises usually use casualty simulators – or dummies – to represent the human cost of industrial
accidents. By using actors to introduce authentic and unpredictable human responses, the level of realism and challenge is greatly increased.
This case study – featuring Nynas – shows how the effectiveness of emergency exercises is improved by introducing the human factor. Download here – Improve the effectiveness of emergency exercises LOW RES.
