Presenter's biography
Biographies are supplied directly by presenters at WindEurope Summit 2016 and are published here uneditedHasse Andreasen currently holds the position as Global Head of EHS Offshore with Siemens Wind Power after taking up various roles at regional level within the company responsible for operational and strategic EHS management. Previously, he worked in different Quality and EHS functions with a major foundations contractor in the offshore wind industry, and coming originally from a maritime career, Hasse has also gained extensive marine experience within offshore operations and general vessel HSEQ management.
Hasse has over the years been deeply involved with, amongst others, maturing the traditional project organization from a predominantly cost driven business approach to an fully self-sustained operational unit with constant focus on safety performance induced by in-house advanced risk management capabilities. Finally, he is actively engaged in various industry forums like e.g. the IMCA Renewable Energy Workgroup with the overall aim of influencing the industry as a whole across countries and markets.
Abstract
Targeting a second to none EHS Performance in Wind through OwnershipKey question:
How is ownership of a safe workplace transferred effectively from the EHS professionals to the operational organisation in order to achieve the second-to-none safety performance we want in the wind industry?
Analysing aspects:
• Comparing the wind farm construction project team with a traditional vessel organisation without EHS professionals on board to monitor and secure the necessary safety mind-set amongst the crew.
• Looking at making all employees constantly accountable for safety through empowerment as the “carrot” and a consequent management driven just culture as the “stick”.
• Evaluating whether a true safety culture is embedded in the organisation broadly by senior management top down by dictating the right direction; or if the key to a successful safety performance is actually about training base-level personnel from day one to think safety into every move they make independently.
