14:30 - 15:30 ENERGY IN A PROACTIVE SAFETY CULTURE

Everyone agrees that safety is paramount, but how come incidents still happen?

In daily practice, safety is not an isolated aspect, but relates to the complexity of different interests, such as time pressure, financial considerations, political pressure, etc. In your project, how do you get these dilemmas to the surface and make correct trade-offs?

In this session, Wilco will take you through the journey taken within TenneT to achieve a proactive safety culture. Using an abridged version of TenneT's two-day international leadership program, you will be introduced to what TenneT understands by a proactive safety mindset/culture.
