New Evidence on the Drivers of HSE Incidents and Reporting, and Implications for HSE Policy

摘要

This paper specifies detection-controlled regression models to investigate the drivers of health, safety, and environmental (HSE) performance and reporting behavior. The analysis confirms some results from previous research and also tests new hypotheses, with emphasis on supervision-related practices and policies. Most of the results are general and thus applicable to other regions, to other operators, and very likely to other industrial sectors. The results can be used to drive decisions regarding operating practices and HSE management system policy.
