As a young HSE practitioner, my passion for safety led me into some of the harshest environments, working onshore across drilling rigs in Ethiopia and Iraq. I was responsible for managing Health and Safety at the rig sites, supporting drilling operations and assets to ensure safe execution of all activities. My role focused on the day-to-day delivery of drilling HSE requirements, implementation of company HSE policies and driving best-in-class HSE practices across multinational crews
