The purpose of this policy is to promote a positive Health, Safety and Environmental culture of HSE being "above all else", to promote Management Leadership and Employee involvement, to increase the focus of HSE as a "life event not just a work event" and to ensure that HSE becomes a part of daily operations for all employees and not just field personnel.
It is the responsibility of all Managers to ensure that HSE Moment Policy is understood by all personnel and implemented at all levels within their respective organizations.
When there is a scheduled meeting with 3 or more people involved, the meeting shall begin with an HSE moment. This does not include impromptu discussions or conversations.
The leader/moderator of the meeting shall conduct the HSE moment unless it is assigned to another meeting participant. If the meeting is a daily/weekly/monthly reoccurring meeting with typically the same participants the HSE moment should be rotated. The HSE moment should not be conducted by a HSE professional unless they are a part of a reoccurring meeting and fall into the rotation.
HSE Moment – A brief discussion or presentation related to personal experiences, lessons learned, examples or articles which lend themselves to a specific topic dealing with safety and health or impacts to the environment. Each HSE moment shall be brief in nature (no more than 5 minutes).
