6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Enterprise SIF-Potential Event Rate
The rate of events that had the potential to cause a Serious Injury or Fatality (SIF), regardless of actual outcome.
Target · Year-over-year 15% reduction, aiming for a 50% reduction over 3 years.

If we had 20 SIF-potential events last year, we'd aim for no more than 17 this year. This is a critical leading indicator of systemic risk.

Safety Culture Maturity Score
Our position on a recognised safety culture maturity model (e.g., Hudson Safety Culture Ladder, Bradley Curve) as assessed by independent third parties.
Target · Advance one full level (e.g., from 'Calculative' to 'Proactive') within 3 years.

Moving from a 'Calculative' culture (where rules are followed for fear of punishment) to a 'Proactive' one (where people actively seek to improve safety).

Regulatory Compliance & Audit Performance
The number and severity of regulatory non-compliance findings and the outcomes of internal and external safety audits.
Target · Zero material regulatory non-compliance findings; 95%+ closure rate of audit actions within agreed timelines.

Successfully navigating a major HSE inspection with no enforcement actions, or achieving a 'Green' rating on our annual corporate safety audit.

Safety-Related ESG Rating Improvement
Improvement in the safety and social components of our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings from key agencies.
Target · Achieve top quartile ranking in our industry sector for safety-related ESG metrics within 4 years.

Seeing our MSCI or Sustainalytics safety scores improve by several points, directly influencing investor perception and capital costs.

Cost of Incidents (Direct & Indirect)
The total financial impact of safety incidents, including insurance premiums, legal costs, lost productivity, and reputational damage.
Target · Reduce total incident costs by 10% year-over-year, saving an estimated £2M+ annually.

A significant reduction in our workers' compensation premiums due to demonstrably improved safety performance, saving £500K in a single year.

Board & Executive Trust
The extent to which the Board and Executive Leadership Team (ELT) view safety as a strategic enabler and you as a trusted advisor.
  • You're proactively consulted on major operational changes and M&A activity. Your safety reports are seen as essential strategic documents, not just compliance updates. The CEO regularly references safety as a core business driver, not just an HR issue. You're seen as a peer, not just a functional head.
Organisational Psychological Safety
The perceived ability of employees at all levels to speak up about safety concerns, near misses, or errors without fear of retribution.
  • Employee surveys show a significant increase in psychological safety scores. Near-miss reporting rates are high and increasing, especially for SIF-potential events. Frontline workers feel comfortable challenging unsafe instructions from management. Incident investigations focus on systemic causes, not just individual blame.
Integrated Safety Strategy
How well safety is integrated into core business processes, strategic planning, and operational decision-making, rather than being a standalone function.
  • Safety considerations are routinely part of new project approvals, product design, and supply chain decisions. Your team is embedded in operational planning, not just brought in after issues arise. Safety is a standing agenda item with substantive discussion at ELT meetings, not just a quick update.
External Thought Leadership
Our organisation's recognition as a leader in behavioural safety and safety culture within our industry and beyond.
  • You're invited to speak at major industry conferences. Our safety programmes are featured in trade publications. Competitors look to us for best practices. We're seen as an employer of choice due to our safety culture.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Protecting People & Legacy

You're driven by the profound responsibility of ensuring every employee goes home safe every day. This shows up in your relentless pursuit of systemic improvements, your willingness to challenge the status quo, and your deep personal investment in incident prevention. You want to leave a legacy of a truly safe and caring organisation.

You'll spend hours reviewing incident reports, not just to understand what happened, but to ensure every possible lesson is learned and embedded to prevent recurrence, knowing that each report represents a real person.

Strategic Impact & Transformation

You thrive on shaping the long-term direction of a large organisation, seeing your vision for safety and culture come to life across thousands of employees. You're motivated by the challenge of transforming an entire enterprise, not just managing a department. You want to see safety become a competitive differentiator.

You'll be working on multi-year strategic roadmaps, presenting to the Board on cultural shifts, and integrating safety into major M&A due diligence, knowing your work will shape the company for decades.

Solving Complex, Systemic Problems

You're energised by tackling the really messy, interconnected problems that lead to incidents—the ones that involve human behaviour, organisational design, and competing business pressures. You love unpicking these complex webs and designing elegant, resilient solutions. You see problems as opportunities to build better systems.

You'll lead a deep dive into why a specific type of incident keeps happening, pulling together insights from operations, HR, engineering, and finance to design a holistic, enterprise-wide solution, rather than just blaming individuals.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Safety vs. Production' Fallacy: Constantly fighting the ingrained belief that being safer means being slower and less productive, despite all evidence to the contrary.
  • Lip Service Leadership: Dealing with executives who champion 'Safety First' in town halls but then ask 'How can we get this done faster?' in private project meetings.
  • Blame Culture Inertia: Trying to implement a 'Just Culture' while middle managers, under pressure, are still hardwired to find a single person to blame for every incident.
  • The 'Flavour of the Month' Initiative: Getting buy-in for a major behavioural programme, only to have a new CEO or VP arrive and want to scrap it for their own signature 'new' safety initiative.
  • Being the 'Business Prevention Unit': The constant struggle to be seen as a strategic partner who enables reliable operations, rather than the 'safety cop' who just says 'no.'
  • Data Graveyard: Knowing the EHS platform contains a goldmine of data, but 90% of it is low-quality, incomplete, or 'pencil-whipped,' making trend analysis a nightmare.
What this role does not give you
  • A quiet, predictable work environment where you can focus solely on technical safety standards.
  • The ability to make unilateral decisions without extensive consultation and persuasion.
  • Freedom from political navigation and conflicting priorities from other executive functions.
  • A role where you can avoid public scrutiny or engagement with external regulatory bodies and media during crises.
  • A guaranteed path to zero incidents, despite your best efforts.

8Who you work with

This role directly impacts the entire organisation's licence to operate, its long-term financial health, and its ability to attract and retain talent. You're responsible for safeguarding our people, our assets, and our brand. Your decisions will shape our corporate reputation, influence investor confidence, and ultimately determine our standing as a responsible corporate citizen. Frankly, the buck stops with you on safety.

Inside the business
  • CEO and Executive Leadership Team (ELT)
  • Board of Directors (especially the Audit & Risk Committee)
  • Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Operations Leadership
  • Chief People Officer (CPO) and HR Leadership
  • General Counsel and Legal Team
  • Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Finance Leadership
Outside the business
  • Regulatory bodies (e.g., HSE, OSHA, local authorities)
  • Investors and ESG rating agencies
  • Industry associations and peer groups
  • External auditors and consultants
  • Trade unions and employee representatives
  • Media and public relations

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Proven track record of 15+ years in senior leadership roles within Health & Safety, with at least 5 years at a Director level or equivalent, managing large, complex, and geographically dispersed teams.
  • Demonstrable experience in driving significant, measurable improvements in safety performance and culture across an entire enterprise or major business unit.
  • Extensive experience in managing major incidents and crises, including engagement with regulatory bodies, legal teams, and public relations.
  • Deep expertise in developing and implementing advanced safety management systems, behavioural safety programmes, and Just Culture frameworks at scale.
  • Strong financial acumen and experience managing multi-million-pound budgets, understanding the economic impact of safety decisions.
  • Experience presenting to and influencing Boards of Directors and Executive Leadership Teams on strategic safety matters.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Predictive Analytics & Machine Learning for Safety

  • Transparency and explainability (XAI)
  • Human-in-the-loop decision making
  • Data privacy and security for AI-driven safety

Climate Risk Integration & Worker Safety

Climate change isn't just an environmental issue; it's a direct threat to worker safety. Extreme weather, heat stress, new infectious diseases, and supply chain disruptions all create new safety hazards. We need to proactively integrate these risks into our safety strategy and operational planning.

  • Physical climate risks (acute and chronic)
  • Transitional climate risks
  • Climate adaptation strategies for worker protection
  • ESG reporting on climate-related safety impacts

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

As VP, Safety & Organisational Culture, your time is incredibly valuable. You're constantly balancing strategic vision with urgent operational demands, all while influencing at the highest levels. The truth is, many of the tasks that eat into your day—researching, analysing, drafting—can now be significantly streamlined with AI. This isn't about replacing your strategic brain; it's about giving you superpowers to focus on what truly matters: people, culture, and long-term resilience.

Imagine having a highly intelligent assistant who can digest thousands of pages of reports, identify patterns in complex data, and draft board-ready summaries in minutes. That's the reality with AI. We're building an AI Productivity Hub specifically for our Compliance, Quality, Health & Safety leaders, designed to free you from the mundane and amplify your strategic impact. Here's a glimpse of what's possible:

Rapid Strategy Research & Synthesis

Use AI to instantly summarise the latest academic papers, regulatory changes, and industry best practices on Human & Organisational Performance (HOP), psychological safety, or ESG reporting. It can compare multiple frameworks, highlight key findings, and even draft executive summaries for your Board reports. No more sifting through hundreds of pages; get the insights you need in minutes.

Predictive Risk & Culture Hot-Spotting

AI models can analyse vast datasets—incident reports, observation trends, employee sentiment surveys, even operational data—to predict emerging risks and cultural 'hot spots' across the enterprise. This shifts your focus from reactive analysis to proactive, strategic intervention, allowing you to allocate resources where they'll have the biggest impact, before an incident occurs.

Board Report Generation & Q&A Prep

Feed AI your raw safety data, internal reports, and strategic objectives, and it can draft initial versions of your quarterly Board safety reports, complete with key metrics, narrative summaries, and forward-looking statements. It can also simulate tough questions the Board might ask, helping you prepare comprehensive answers and anticipate challenges.

Executive Communication & Messaging

AI can help you draft compelling executive communications, speeches, and internal messages about safety culture, policy changes, or incident learnings. It can tailor the tone and language for different audiences (e.g., Board, frontline, investors), ensuring your message is clear, impactful, and resonates across the organisation.
