Dzhukelova Too many variables to give clear answer on the basis of your question. To start with geography. Some advisors spend at least as much time travelling as doing the job. Others may have multiple sites in relatively close proximity. Then the competence of site management and workforce comes into play. If less to be concerned about then a site visit might take less time. Then who does what. If site managers do inductions, tool box talks etc, then less time input required by SHE advisor. In contrast, that advisor might be spending time developing the packages. So this is one of those "how long is a piece of string?" questions.

Thanks for your feedback guys, In my particular case site managers are being responsible with Safety Management on site, but apart from this, there is the general duties and getting the actual job done, keeping and eye on operatives etc. reality. “Old School” attitude, should not be ignored either since, quite often H&S duties, although designated as required by established procedures in place are often being neglected by the site teams. Deadlines and profits do influence people motivation, in particularly so, during the current economic climate. As an advisor, my duties are to oversee the smooth running of H&S management at each site, legal compliance and implementation of existing company procedures in place. Reporting accident and investigating the above is also part of the daily routine. Like you have suggested, if safety management is proactively approached in a positive way, then there should be little time required to attend to the various jobs and ensure the obvious is the case. Other teams require a lot more “nurturing” before changes take place and ultimately culture starts developing in the right direction. The “piece of string length” is indeed a tricky one… Know anyone with all the answers? Please don’t say. I would rather reach them by myself. Guess that’s part of the fun…
