Proactive H&S Scorecard: Answering Your CEO's Most Important Question

Stop reacting to incidents. Start predicting and preventing them.
This session cuts through the noise of endless hazards to focus on the high-impact risks that genuinely threaten your people and your business. Sebastien Chaigneau will share a pragmatic, data-driven methodology for building a powerful EHS scorecard based entirely on leading indicators.
Move beyond injury rates! Learn how to transform your EHS management into a predictive powerhouse that provides a clear, concise, and compelling answer to your leadership: “Should I worry about Health and Safety?”

  • Pinpoint Critical Risks: Master a technique to identify and prioritize the few risks that truly matter.
  • Develop Predictive Indicators: Build a leading-indicator-based scorecard that forecasts performance and drives pre-incident intervention.
  • Gain Leadership Confidence: Learn to present EHS data that earns trust and clearly articulates the state of safety to your CEO.

Don’t just track performance—drive it.

Why static control matters

  • Static electricity remains an underestimated hazard with tangible impacts on personnel safety, product integrity, and operational reliability across many industrial environments.
  • Although electrostatic risks are generally well understood from a technical standpoint, they are not always embedded effectively into organisational risk governance and daily operational practice.
  • A structured static control strategy contributes directly to QHSE performance by lowering incident probability, strengthening compliance, and safeguarding both processes and assets.
  • Anti-static protective clothing provides the final layer of control, either reducing ignition risk to protect people and facilities, or limiting damage to sensitive products.
