Lessons from Transport Risk Management in the Oil and Gas Industry

Speaker: Saul Jeavons, The Transafe Network

Over the last 20 years, Saul has worked on road safety project on every continent except Antarctica, most of these in connection with clients in the oil and gas industry. Those experiences overseas, in some challenging transport environments where everything, from driving and vehicle standards, to infrastructure and emergency response, have influenced how he approaches road risk management in the UK.

In the masterclass, Saul will outline the specific initiatives and approaches from the risk management approach in the petrochemical industry which have also helped to shape his practices in the UK, and the lessons he has learned about the impact - or lack of it – on everyone from drivers to the board, of policy, procedure and safety leadership
