The Behaviours

1 We should all assess ourselves against the Everyone behaviours, and those in supervisory and management roles also need to assess their behaviour against the Manager or Supervisor behaviours. 2 For employees in Management, Supervisory and Everyone roles there is an associated set of four behaviours. 3 The behaviours for the three types of employees are linked through four themes: Standards, Communication, Risk Management and Involvement. These are key elements of a strong safety culture.

Assessing our own HSSE Behaviour

We can use this workbook to identify our personal strengths as well as areas where we can improve. Please take time to assess the behaviours that are relevant to each one of us. Guidelines: 1. We should all assess ourselves against the Everyone behaviours. Employees in supervisory and management roles also need to assess their behaviour against the Manager and Supervisor behaviours.

2. For each positive behaviour please indicate whether: Do I consistently behave in this way? Do I sometimes behave in this way? Is it rare for me to behave in this way?

3. We need to be aware of the negative indicators. To achieve excellence in HSSE performance we all need to be honest with ourselves and committed to improving our behaviour there is always room for improvement.
