Congratulations Darryl Dyson
At the OPS-1 Project (Operations and Maintenance) in Darwin, Darryl Dyson’s strong focus and commitment to achieving a high-performance safety culture in a dynamic, construction-based work environment is getting noticed – and not just by us.
During Darryl’s time as SHEQ Manager at OPS-1, the team has received multiple accolades for safety performance including the client’s Gold Standard Award three times in 2017 and twice in 2018.
OPS-1 is a unique environment with many risks and challenges. These include simultaneous operations with direct employees and many different subcontractors, operating 24 hours, seven days a week in a tropical environment and interacting with over 10,000 employees onsite at any one time. Construction, commissioning and operations activities have all been conducted to date, and the site qualifies as a major hazardous facility.
Darryl has taken great care to address and effectively manage the project’s changing risk profile, with the introduction of hydrocarbons and the transition from construction and commissioning based activities to functional operations.
His rapport with the client, his peers and the workforce fosters a culture where people feel they can speak up and raise issues that need to be addressed, and Darryl consistently takes ownership to resolve any that arise.
The current safety record of the project speaks for itself: 2.5 million work hours lost time injury free and 1,200 days recordable injury free. While the entire team is to be congratulated on this excellent safety performance, these results are also a testimony to Darryl’s professionalism and his commitment to putting safety and health above all else.
