Integration of Health, Safety and Environmental Principles into Industrial Project Management

Abstract

Planning and implementation of health, safety and environmental (HSE) principles in early stage of industrial projects can prevent many negative consequences such as poor HSE and quality outcomes, schedule delays, reduced productivity and cost increases. Industrial projects often contain high risk level and uncertainty that can lead to inappropriate decisionmaking. Such risk can manifest itself as threat affecting human life or the environment. The focus of this paper includes legislation and regulations, management systems, HSE analysis throughout project life cycle and efforts to integrate HSE risk management to industrial safety practices. This article also puts into perspective the complexity of the challenge of integrating HSE into industrial project management.
