“We must ensure that if we do have an incident, that we are learning and improving our organization through finding the root cause and implementing a sustainable solution. Excellence in Execution goes farther than just operational tasks, but in all aspects of our organization.
As we continue to strive for Excellence, we will become an organization known for our Excellence in Execution which is evidence by dedicated and satisfied customers who are engaged on all levels, and with transparency throughout our organization. Safety and customer satisfaction go hand in hand.”
Shaun Kisewski,
Global Director QHSSE and OE in Odfjell Terminals
Odfjell Terminals Houston (OTH) invited Brad Livingston as keynote speaker. He is a survivor of 18 surgeries after two explosion accidents at work. He motivated the team to work safely every day for the right reason: "Just a second ago is all it takes to change your life forever, maybe even end it. Just a second ago is all it takes for you to raise your hand and say; 'Wait a minute, I don't think this is safe”.
The celebration in Odfjell Terminals Korea (OTK) zeroed in on excellence, and in particular, on how to enhance the safety culture and mindset. The OTK team developed a safety pledge to ensure that the excellence mindset is embraced by all, throughout the organization.
