Enhancing Safety Leadership in West Africa Operations

Supporting the Corporate Strategy for HSSE Improvement
"For our corporate HSSE initiatives at the Geneva head office, Premier Safety Associates delivered strategic guidance, facilitated workshops, and provided expert support. Their contributions were instrumental in strengthening corporate leadership commitment for our West Africa operations and our joint venture partnership in Northern Iraq. They provided added value by tailoring workshops to local needs, culture and language."

PHARMACEUTICAL
Enhanced Decision Making at a Senior Level
"Our process safety programme was too technical/engineering oriented. Premier Safety Associates interviewed leaders at site and corporate levels to identify strategic areas for improvement. Looking through a lens of complex systems they then designed and delivered a Process Safety Leadership education programme which helped connect site operations to the people who were managing the risk and making decisions at a senior level.”

Former VP
Global Head of Engineering & EHS
GlaxoSmithKline
Case Studies
Below are just a few examples of our work and how it has helped our clients:
PHARMACEUTICAL
Near Miss Accidents Avoided in the Pharmaceutical Sector
How a global pharma pharmaceutical manufacturer reduced near-miss incidents by rethinking leadership behaviours after attending our Process Safety Leadership Programme.
After several near-miss incidents, the client sought an independent review of their safety leadership practices. We assessed multiple high-risk sites, shared findings with leadership teams, and created a bespoke safety leadership programme. The result was a stronger safety culture and a measurable reduction in process safety incidents.
OIL & GAS
Fatal Accident Investigation in the Offshore Oil & Gas Industry
How our independent investigation resolved corporate manslaughter charges for an offshore oil and gas operator after a fatal accident.
Following a fatal offshore accident, we led an independent investigation, uncovering equipment failure as the root cause and identifying systemic improvements. Our findings helped the client settle liability claims, implement safety changes, and avoid prosecution, while sharing lessons learned across the wider industry.
ENERGY & RENEWABLES
Pre-Acquisition Risk Assessment Steered Decision in the Energy Sector
How our pre-acquisition safety assessment informed a multimillion-dollar strategic decision.
We supported the client’s due diligence team during the acquisition of a major energy conglomerate in Eastern Europe. By visiting sites, interviewing leaders, and reviewing records, we identified key process safety risks and provided a risk control strategy. This enabled the client to adjust their bid and complete the acquisition successfully, resulting in a profitable new revenue stream.
