New Elements of Contractor Safety
BÉLA CSEH – MOL Group HSE Director
Supplier Forum - Budapest, 14 th November 2007

We believe that:
• All HSE events can and should be prevented
• Injury prevention applies to all personnel in the workplace
• Contractor HSE is consistent with overall corporate HSE Policy and leads to a good business flow

ZERO INCIDENTS
CULTURAL
CHANGE
STRATEGY
•
No harm on health, no property damage or loss on
MOL Group or Contractor side
• Continuous reinforcement, change in attitudes/ perceptions
• Providing guidelines and techniques for observing and correcting unsafe acts and conditions
• Consistent message that safety is a priority to the organization
– unsafe acts and conditions will not be tolerated
– leading by examples
•
Management commitments
– overcome a „safety is not my responsibility“ mentality
•
Safety Leadership by Supervisors
– turn a negative situation into a positive learning experience
• „LET´S DO IT IN A DIFFERENT (SAFER) WAY“

Pre-qualification
