HSSE Practices and Management-Drawing Up a National Curriculum
Adebiyi Adeleke Adeosun
HSE Practices and Mgt.- In the past• Production vs. Security vs. Safety• HSE was seen as supporting the business • Most HSE issues were merely welfarism• HSE Officers started as Fire/Safety Wardens• Socio-Cultural and Religious conflict with safety• Poor National Safety Culture- values, attitudes• Laws were generally inadequate nor enforceable • Regulators had no enough teeth and competence
for enforcement• Most employees depended on trade unions to get
HSE implemented
Background - Statistics
The following is true of the Nigerian populace today:
• About 80% of Nigerians are Safety illiterates.
• Safety education is conspicuously absent in our school curriculums
• Our road accident statistics shows that more lives would be saved if most people at accident scenes
had some basic First aid skills
• Most people are ignorant of the effects of their actions on the environment e.g. Deforestation, Desertification, Water Pollution, Waste disposal etc
The Result-Safety Incidents in Nigeria
• Cocoa House Ibadan• Net Building, Lagos• Nov. 2002: Skypower Aviation Handling Co. - 4 died,
billions lost.• Dec. 2002: NNPC Lagos office Fire – millions lost.• Sept. 2002: West African Rubber Product Co. - 20

100 lives as a result of factory fire• Jesse Petroleum Product fire• Atlas Cove Petroleum Product Fire• Abule Egba Fire Accidents
Regulation – In the past
• Failure of self regulation by industry- Multinational double standards
• Consultative rather that adversarial regulation• Multiple regulatory regime• Lack of required competence to drive regulation• Lack of Political will by government• Government ownership of business• Whistle swallowing rather than whistle blowing by
regulators
Now............
The Paradigm Shift..........
• HSE is the business• Proactive HSE culture especially in oil and gas• 90% of key competence still in oil and gas -
Why– Nature– Reputation– Multinational outlook– “NIMBY”-Commercial Greenhouse
The Commercial Greenhouse
Business
Commercial Environment
Natural/Social Environment
The commercial environment is leaky to environmental cost, however the natural/social environment is reflecting the environmental cost of doing business back to business
New National OH and S Legislation
• Change of title from Factories Act to Occupational Safety & Health Laws modeled after the European Six packs.
• Scope: all workplaces are included, and not just Factories alone.
• Establishment of a Council to be headed by an Executive Secretary and a Governing Board of the Council headed by a part time chairman.
