Taking aim at behaving safely
Harvey Gulf's Behavior-Based Observation program and Hazard Hunt — empowering employees to lead safety performance.
The human factor continues to be the single most important contributing factor in just how well or how poorly a task can be completed. Our employees remain our most important resource, and through the use of our TABS Program, our employees are afforded the opportunity to participate in a simple but effective behavior based safety program.
Transparent Observations
Unlike most behavior based programs, which utilize anonymous and unannounced observations, our employees notify and ask permission from the person or persons being observed beforehand. It is our intent that by doing so, the person or persons being observed heighten their HSE performance on the task to be completed.
Immediate Feedback
Feedback within our TABS program is to be provided immediately, with the intentions of reinforcing correct behaviors and addressing at risk behaviors as soon as possible. Correct behaviors are repeated due to positive reinforcement; at risk behaviors diminish due to immediate coaching and correction.
Hazard Hunt
Through our Hazard Hunt program we are able to actively track and correct hazards on board our vessels, at shore side facilities, as well as at offshore assets. Hazards identified that cannot be corrected are required to be reported to shore side management.
Real-Time Tracking
Through our real-time online portal, safety managers access TABS and Hazard Hunt submissions in real-time — affording immediate and effective tracking of key QHSSE indicators fleet-wide.
