This is done through the application of psychological concept’s and theories in organisations within the Oil and Gas Industry, high hazard industries and safety critical environments. The training and coaching is conducted all around the world in very multi-cultural environments for organisations including BG Group, BP, Chevron, Schlumberger and WesternGeco. I have served in the armed forces for eleven years & throughout my career I have advanced through the ranks to senior middle management (Platoon Sergeant). Having made the decision to pursue a career within the safety field, and in particular the role of safety within the Oil and Gas Industry, I have successfully attained my NEBOSH General Certificate, as well as those other safety specific qualifications listed below, and I’m currently studying for my Diploma. On a more personal basis, I am accustomed to accepting responsibility and having delegated authority, I am a totally reliable and trustworthy individual, able to work to my own initiative or as a valuable team member or leader, my place of work has always required a very open sense of humor and a personal dedication to managing many different personalities within multi-cultural environments. I am able to communicate fluently with management, peers and subordinates regardless of the circumstances; I am calm under pressure and have a demonstrable track record in managing and leading a team by example and driving new challenges through to successful completion within budget and timescale.

It is irrefutable that unsafe behaviors cause the overwhelming majority of accidents. The biggest barrier to getting organizations to take it seriously is that they don't appreciate the risk. I have worked in many organizations that were lucky enough to have very few actual accidents, despite a lot of unsafe behavior. Relying on luck is not a good approach to management!

I strongly believe that the way an employee engages in his job task is largely dependent on his behaviour towards safety.If he works unsafely,is he being educated or informed on how he can work safely.Behaviour based safety is crucial in an organization,because through research,investigation,the root cause of accidents,injuries and reasons why workers engage in unsafe acts will be discovered.

But the way I see it, USA in particular has reached such a point of "excellence" that money matters first. The workers in various industries are turning into commodity. The upper management are making money by employing the approach of motivation through fear. If management is making money and inherently believes that employees are commodity, why change? Until management suffers the consequence equivalent to the power they wield, nothing will change. The self evident truth: when a person is given the equivalent authority for the responsibility he is burdened with, there is peaceful progress, else there is injustice. Today in the name of money, leadership: has the authority with less responsibility; is quickly bailed out when it fails; is rewarded disproportionately when it succeeds primarily because of the efforts of the subjects. The subjects: pay for the failures of the leadership and for their own failures. There is something inherent in the modern-day western culture that needs to be cleaned up before social-economic equitability can even begin to grow. Capitalism sees the human as a utility/commodity.
