Bilang isang Health and Evironmental Safety Engineer sa Riyadh Metro Project

-

 



Bilang isang Health and  Evironmental Safety Engineer sa Riyadh Metro Project, natutunan ko ang maraming mahahalagang aral na hindi lamang tungkol sa kaligtasan kundi pati na rin sa pamumuno, disiplina, at pagiging epektibong tagapamahala ng peligro (risk management).

1. Walang Maliit na Bagay Pagdating sa Kaligtasan

Sa larangan ng Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE), bawat detalye ay mahalaga. Mula sa pagsusuot ng tamang Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) hanggang sa tamang pagsunod sa work permits, natutunan kong ang maliliit na pagkukulang ay maaaring humantong sa malalaking aksidente.

2. Ang Komunikasyon ay Susi sa Pag-iwas sa Aksidente

Ang epektibong toolbox talks, safety meetings, at daily briefings ay nakakatulong sa pagpapalaganap ng kultura ng kaligtasan. Sa isang proyektong kasinglaki ng Riyadh Metro, kung saan iba't ibang lahi at kultura ang magkakasama, natutunan kong mahalaga ang malinaw at direktang komunikasyon upang maiwasan ang hindi pagkakaintindihan na maaaring humantong sa insidente.

3. Ang Tamang Mindset ay Nagbibigay ng Matibay na Safety Culture

Isa sa mga pinakamahalagang aral na natutunan ko ay ang pagpapalaganap ng “safety-first mindset” sa lahat ng empleyado, mula sa mga trabahador hanggang sa senior management. Hindi sapat ang pagkakaroon ng mga patakaran; kailangang maging bahagi ito ng kultura ng organisasyon upang masigurong tunay itong naisasabuhay.

4. Data-Driven Decision Making sa HSE

Sa Riyadh Metro, natutunan ko ang halaga ng metrics at data analysis sa pagpapabuti ng safety performance. Sa pamamagitan ng incident reports, near-miss analysis, at trend monitoring, nagagawa naming i-predict at maiwasan ang mga posibleng panganib bago pa ito maging aksidente. Dahil dito, napanatili ko ang zero Lost Time Injuries (LTI) sa lahat ng linya at site na aking hinawakan.

5. Leadership in Safety Means Taking Ownership

Bilang Health and Safety Environmental Engineer, natutunan kong hindi lang ako tagapagpatupad ng patakaran kundi isa ring leader na kailangang may malasakit sa bawat manggagawa. Sa pagharap sa mga hamon, ako mismo ang unang sumusunod sa mga alituntunin, inuuna ang kaligtasan ng lahat, at tinutulungan ang iba na maging accountable sa kanilang sariling seguridad.

6. Ang Tamang Pagsasanay at Paghahanda ay Buhay ang Naitataya

Ang regular drills, emergency response training, at competency development ay hindi dapat ipagwalang-bahala. Ang tamang paghahanda ang naging dahilan kung bakit maraming insidente ang naagapan bago pa ito humantong sa seryosong pinsala o pagkamatay.

7. Ang Pagtutulungan ay Nagpapalakas sa Kaligtasan

Sa isang malakihang proyekto tulad ng Riyadh Metro, ang pakikipagtulungan sa iba’t ibang departamento, subcontractors, at authorities ay mahalaga. Natutunan kong ang safety ay hindi lang responsibilidad ng HSE team kundi ng bawat isa sa proyekto.

Konklusyon: Safety is Not Just a Rule—It’s a Responsibility

Sa aking karanasan bilang HSE Engineer sa Riyadh Metro, natutunan ko na ang kaligtasan ay higit pa sa pagsunod sa mga regulasyon—ito ay isang kultura, isang disiplina, at isang paninindigan. Ang bawat desisyon ay maaaring magligtas ng buhay, kaya’t kailangang gawin ito nang may dedikasyon at integridad.

Ano ang natutunan mo sa larangan ng kaligtasan sa trabaho? Ibahagi ang iyong karanasan!

  What I Learned as an HSE Engineer at the Riyadh Metro Project Working as an HSE Engineer at the Riyadh Metro Project has been a transformative experience, shaping my professional skills, leadership approach, and understanding of safety at an unprecedented scale. Over the years, I have gained valuable insights that go beyond technical knowledge—lessons that define the true essence of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) management. 1. Safety is Not Just a Regulation—It’s a Culture One of the biggest lessons I learned is that HSE is not just about compliance; it’s about creating a culture. Rules and policies are important, but without a genuine commitment to safety from everyone on-site, risks will always exist. Encouraging proactive safety behaviors and fostering a sense of accountability among workers and management is the foundation of a strong safety culture. 2. Leadership in HSE Means Taking Ownership HSE is not just about conducting inspections and enforcing regulations—i...
