Corporate EHS Manager, EHS Department Head, Global HSE executive, DATA CENTER HSE, HSEQ Advisor, MEP/Construction HSE Speaker, and Researcher.
A day in the life of an HSE professional. This photo was taken on 04/03/2023 in one of our many projects, which I manage for MENASCO in Port Rasheed Dubai. Two things were driving me crazy here. Although I was determined to decongest my daily heavy workload, which included more than ten construction projects and one particularly extensive Data Centre, it was a big deal for us regarding technicality and project scope running into hundreds of millions of dollars. Number 1. I was battling the weight of career advancement and trying to juggle it with unprecedented personal growth. Number 2. I was manoeuvring new HSE terrain in Dubai and simultaneously considering relocating to the UK for the same, which had never been my plan. One year later, I can look back and be thankful for the choices I made, both the wrong and the correct ones, because they both shaped me into a better person today. I can tell you for free if you allow me: Whenever you have to make a decision between two tough choices, always choose the toughest. Hard choices lead to an easy life; easy choices lead to a tough life. You cannot eat your bread and have it, believe me. You are stronger than you think you are. Put your greatest strength to work today and grow into a stronger person tomorrow. If you can go back to yesterday or previous years, what would you like to change in your HSE career from the past?

You all have been doing it wrong !!! An eye-opening case study for management specially based in GCC states. This is how, millions of dollars are wasted. Few months ago, an underground cable was damaged at a construction site in Saudi Arabia by a contractor. The root cause was, not developing, communicating & training excavation procedure to all stake holders. The EHS of that company contacted me & I wrote a comprehensive report to improve their system. He also shared, his internal report that suggested that cause of the incident was not having sufficient safety officers so more safety officers be hired who can monitor activities. Surprisingly, instead of complying to my report I.e to develope procedure, they hired more safety officers. I laughed on that act & warned them this won’t help you anymore. Today, the same EHS guy reported me another same type of incident. What a fancy wastage of resources !!! Is there NO accountability of resources in gulf states? You see, how millions of riyals being wasted in gulf states. Instead of developing system, they put their company in financial trouble by hiring 6 more useless safety officers so they can be present during jobs. What they will do by being present on job when they even don’t know about any procedure. I have been saying this for many years, that, your workplace won’t be safe by hiring more safety persons, this is blind practice without thinking. your workplace will be safe by adapting robust safety systems.

PMP| HSE SPECIALIST | Pro Qual NVQ level 7 Strategic Health & Safety Leadership Management| NEBOSH IGC | Lead Auditor ISO 45001:2018 SAUDI ELECTRICITY APPROVED
“I will fire the HSE team, they STOP my work”, you might have heard these types of comments from the senior management. This mostly happens due to the lack of communication between the HSE team and senior management. Whenever there is a delay in the operations or projects, the senior management team is tuned to believe that the delay is due to HSE. The operations team or the projects team keep a close contact with the senior management team, since the senior management team is keen about the project update and cost, however least concerned about the HSE issues or concerns in the project/ operations. Again, when there is an accident, the blame goes to the HSE Dept. It is very important that the HSE senior team should have a weekly briefing to the senior management and update the HSE deliverables and achievement. A good relationship with the senior management can avoid miscommunication or defaming the HSE team by operation or projects team. Most of the projects get delayed because of poor contractor selection and poor project management team. Sometimes the project is deliberately delayed so that they can be employed. Corruption plays a vital role in contract awarding and procurement process, all these impacts the execution and someone need to blamed and HSE team becomes a victim. We just convince ourself by saying “Poor management commitment and lack of safety culture”. #hiring #safetyfirst #safetyengineer #safetyofficer #hiring #safetymanagement #jobsinsafety #jobsindubai #jobsinsaudi #heplinghands #helpingeachothers #care #peaceofworld #hirings #newjobs #linkedin #saudi #uae #bahrain #pakistan #kuwait #safety #environment #worldunity #unity #managers #inspiring #companyhonours #saudielectricity #innovation

The latest Safe Step's HSE Job Opportunities Index shows the HSE job market is off to a robust start in 2024, with a 12.5% jump in contracting roles over the past 3 months. Senior-level HSE professionals are especially in high demand. A few key takeaways: 🟢 Contracting now makes up nearly 1 in 4 advertised HSE roles, presenting opportunities for experienced professionals seeking flexibility and new challenges 🟢 Executive-level HSE job opportunities rose 5.1% in the past quarter - a great time for senior leaders to explore fresh perspectives 🟢 Demand is notably strong in mining (up 80% in 2 years) and the public sector (an astounding 208% 2-year increase) For employers, the imbalance between supply and demand for HSE talent persists, making strategic use of interim contractors a smart move and HSE professionals have a chance to enhance their value by taking on new responsibilities and building in-demand capabilities.
