Professional Journey

 

I am an experienced HSE professional in India, Qatar, and the UAE. My career has been both fascinating and rewarding. I have worked in a variety of industries over the course of my career, including energy and oil and gas, to mention a few. In each of these sectors, my main duty has been to protect the company's and the employees' health, safety, and environment. In the early years of my career, I worked as an HSE Advisor in the energy sector, where I had to balance regulatory compliance with gaining awareness of the HSE difficulties faced by the sector. As I advanced in my career, I took on the responsibility of creating and implementing HSE management systems for various large-scale projects in oil and gas EPC projects.

 

 

Roles and responsibilities as an HSE manager

 

As a Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) Manager, it is my responsibility to ensure that the organisations where I work comply with all relevant health, safety, and environmental regulations and standards. My role involves implementing and maintaining an effective HSE management system that identifies and minimises potential hazards, risks, and environmental impacts. Additionally, I communicate and promote HSE policies and procedures to all employees and stakeholders, ensuring their training and competence in HSE practices. In terms of health, my focus is on promoting and maintaining a safe and healthy workplace through effective risk management, injury prevention, and employee wellness programs. This involves identifying and assessing potential health hazards, implementing appropriate controls, and providing training and resources to employees to minimise the risk of workplace injuries.

 

 

Experts in workplace procedure and policy management

 

My areas of expertise revolve around the implementation of health, safety, and environmental management policies and procedures in the workplace. I am proficient in conducting risk assessments and identifying potential hazards in the workplace. I have extensive knowledge of various safety regulations and standards that ensure compliance with legal requirements and industry best practices. I have a strong background in designing and delivering HSE training programmes for employees, which increases their awareness of the importance of HSE in the workplace. I conduct HSE audits and inspections to ensure adherence to the organisation's safety and environmental policies and procedures. As an HSE Manager, I have expertise in investigating accidents and incidents, identifying the root causes, and devising appropriate corrective and preventive measures so as to prevent recurrence.

I have published research and review papers in international journals of repute, which include journals indexed in the Web of Science and are available on Google Research Scholar. I am currently working on the publication of a book in the environmental sustainability genre, which is set to be released next month. In addition, I am writing an environmental toxicology review paper that I plan to publish soon in an international journal.
