CLARKE Safety

What is CLARKE Safety?

It is my little ego trip! At a conference I was asked to speak on my approach to HSE and on a whim decided to use my surname, CLARKE, as an acronym to focus my thoughts:

C - Communication. Runs through everything we do, and remember to talk with people not to or at people; collaborate.

L - Localism. The people best placed to take control of safety on the ‘shop floor’ are those who do the job - talk with them - ask ‘what is dodgy about that?’

A - AI - embrace new technologies.

R - Review. Don’t be precious about anything and change when needed.

K - Knowledge. Use your knowledge and that of others to achieve better practice; learn and develop.

E - Entrepreneur. The first priority of any business/organisation is to make a profit or surplus.
