Description

In this session, safety leaders from Chesapeake Utilities Corp. will discuss why in 2022 their senior leadership team dedicated significant resources towards enhancing an already strong safety culture. The discussion will cover the impetus that prompted these changes: 1) a multi-year business transformation initiative in 2019 focused on continued growth and increased operational efficiency through simplification, standardization, collaboration and automation 2) recommendations from a 2021 third-party gap analysis review related to the requirements and recommendations for Pipeline Safety Management Systems and Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems 3) the SEC's proposal to enhance and standardize climate-related disclosures for investors, as part of a growing awareness of the importance of environmental, social & governance (ESG) issues among public companies. The discussion will cover the senior leadership team’s decision to form an Enterprise Health and Safety Team (EHS), under the leadership of Risk Management, along with the consolidation of Operations Safety and Damage Prevention aligned under one director. The session will cover how the two teams are currently working together. The team will dive into current and completed initiatives while sharing individual perspectives on challenges (people vs. process), “aha moments”, lessons learned, the importance of project governance and change management, and next steps.
