NEBOSH is internationally accepted in all countries...
UK HSE is regional and accepted in some countries as minimum requirement for HSE position.

Thanks a lot and God bless u I saw it

Hello everyone, I am not too sure if this is the right place to ask this question but I am assuming most of you here are well experienced with ISPON considering the fact that this topic has to do with HSE. Anyway my question is this : Intend to pursue a career in the field of industrial safety and I have been told that ISPON courses would be beneficial to my career goals so I would like to know if anyone here has an idea on ISPON's education requirements for those who want to register for ISPON safety professional course.

if you have your BSC then you will start from General Health safety and environment course and if you like to go further then you can do the level 3 supervisory hse course. I advice you do the GHSE and LEVEL 3 HSE if you have your BSC. Then in time you can pickup your membership form of 30k fill it, they give you a project topic and a supervisor, you sit for exams and pass, defend your project and become a MEMBER of ISPON.

I come up on this thread thinking I see educational safety topics and professional rubbing minds on how to make workplace safer, safe lives, reduce operation cost and increase productivity BUT rather its just a place pple come to ask for materials.

The earlier the better people realize that writing safety professional courses is just a "microscopic" start..You have to be willing to read and continuously develop yourself for the rest of your life if you have decided to choose safety as a career.

What is a safety culture?

What is a safety culture?

I'd say safety culture is the shared attitudes, values and beliefs of people at work concerning the risks they encounter as well as their perception towards the necessity and effectiveness of preventive measures.

Hey! Let's share our experiences here. What's been your greatest challenge so far in the HSE field and how did you overcome it?

Safety Culture can be said to be What we do, Why we do it and How we do it when no one is watching.

Safety Culture can be said to be set of beliefs, values ad behavioral patterns that shows one how committed an organizations management is to safety.

I won't say I have any greatest challenge but one major challenge is getting to convince management to put in safety before production...some organizations especially in Nigeria would like to throw in much financial resources in production side lining safety.

How to go about convincing the organization is to show them how much they stand to lose monetary if they neglect safety..Organizations or companies hate to lose money.

You do this by calculating presumed Loss Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIR), Loss Time Injury Incidence Rate (LTIIR), Severity Rate (SR), presenting it to management and also open the eyes of management to the consequences/severity of the loss they may face if safety is neglected..Then questions like what do you stand to gain or lose if there is no safety, what is the value or worth of the project, companies input/output, can I risk to have additional operational cost as a result of an accident.

Nice one @ Zeongeon. To obtain management commitment to HSE, I try as much as possible to get safety to complement operations/production. After which they naturally put safety first.

One challenge I have had has been the attitude of regulatory authorities to HSE. Sometimes, I wish these guys could be more thorough and professional in the discharge of their duties. Most often times they are more interested in the PR stuffs that comes with their visit than what the organization does. It's not been helpful as it gives top management the impression that it's sometimes okay to relax the rules on HSE.

My noble colleague you are right. That is why many organization don't take safety serious and don't care about the welfare of there workmen, They may have safety signs in the premises but have zero safety practice..The other time I was at an industry and I saw there safety policy statement on the wall I looked closely and discovered it had no management signature. I want to believe some regulatory authorities would have noticed that and turned blind eye to it, probably they are negligent to the implication of not having management signing on safety policy.

The lukewarm attitude of these regulatory bodies is the main reason pple die, fall ill and have there welfare neglected by there employers in Nigeria..Only if this regulatory bodies can imitate HSE executives of UK or OSHA of America when it comes to inspection and enforcing standards I believe Nigerian work places will be better for IT.

Another challenge is the lack of reporting and recording accidents, incidents, dangerous occurrences, near misses and occupational health challenges.

Discussion : All accidents are incidents but not all incidents are accidents.

You're spot on! An incident happened at my facility sometime last year which made me wary of regulatory officials. We were behind schedule on an installation project due to the unavailability of mobile cranes to perform some lifting operations. The available ones were not suitable for the loads to be lifted. So an order was placed for the right crane from another state. Some few distance to the facility the crane was stopped by some safety inspectors attached to the local district. They okayed the crane certifying it fit for use (I later learnt money was used to grease some palms).
However, when the crane got to the facility, I took one look at the crane and wrote it off immediately. The project manager was livid saying govt safety officers had okayed the crane and if I had any objections I should talk to our HQ. Few hours later and the crane was dropping loads. Near misses here and there! The project manager later came and was like " Safety! Person go die here o! Write the gaddam thing off!"

Safety should never be compromised! Now I make sure all pre- inspection checks are carried out by my own team.

Thumbs up. Ironically they sideline safety but when there is an incident or accident they start shouting safety! Safety! Safety!...Could you educate us on what your check out for when inspecting cranes. I know clamps and slings are one thing you look out for but educate us more if u have time on your side.

Overall crane operation entails crane inspection, proper site coordination and site restrictions.

In my facility it is not a routine ops so it requires a PTW and comes with a checklist. I may not remember all but here's about the basics.
Check for operators competence/ qualifications.
Check the cranes maintenance and inspection records.
You also inspect for possible hydraulic, air or oil leaks.
Other things you should check for are structural deficiencies, secure counter weights, functional controls, running line of the main hoist drum and load charts.
Warning signs and lights should be checked. You can ask the operator to reverse the crane. Ensure its backup beeper gives off alarms that are above the noise level of the site. The crane should be rotated to check for clearance and overall stability. You should also check for jerky movements during operations. The tires should also be checked for cuts and wears. The boom, brakes and clutch should also be checked for proper operation.

These are the much I can reel off my head at the moment.
