Independent audits of the CCLRC’s SHE Management System highlighted the need to more pro-actively manage health and safety performance.
We manage expenditure through budgets - financial plans - and project delivery through - project plans - maintaining or improving SHE performance is best achieved by establishing clear SHE plans.
Planning is a key aspect of any management system - facilitating performance review and/or improvement - “to fail to plan is to plan to fail”
