Hi all,
I'm interested in your views on how to raise safety standards at customer sites, in particular customers that operate in territories where HSE standards are not at the level we are typically accustomed too here in the UK.
Imagine the scenario, you are in the business of installing and servicing equipment globally and your employees working out of the, say middle east or Asia, are continually up against poor standards and practices with local customers and/or contractors. Clearly, your employees are supported in not putting themselves in danger etc, but if you as a business wants to work in these regions and wants to help raise the bar, what suggestions would you make?
Customer feedback, safety conferences (inviting customers), project planning etc will all help, but I'm keen to gauge option on other things which will help improve standards.
Thanks.

Guru, this is a tough situation to resolve. If the business genuinely wants to keep its people safe and healthy it will need to engage in serious dialogue with the controlling minds of your customers, reach agreement on the standards you expect and they will provide and then ensure that local managers (customer & you) are informed, made responsible and accountable for those conditions being in place.
If this is not achieved I do not think that you will make much progress.
