Lorient appoints New HSE Manager
We're excited to introduce Steve Mackay, our new Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) Manager at Lorient! With his strong background in HSE management, Steve is committed to reinforcing a culture of safety and sustainability at Lorient.
Since joining us in October, Steve has already made a positive impact, helping us maintain our safety record of zero accidents. Steve uses the “STAR” approach to safety in the workplace, which encourages everyone to pause and conduct a quick, dynamic risk assessment before each task:
Stop – Don’t rush into any task. If it isn’t safe, report the issue and wait until it’s resolved.
Think – Plan your actions. Ensure you’re suitably qualified for the job; if you need more training, ask for guidance.
Act – Do the task safely, consistently monitoring your surroundings.
Review – If you notice room for improvement, discuss it with a team leader or supervisor.
Steve believes STAR can help everyone approach tasks thoughtfully, creating a safer workplace for all.
When he’s not championing safety at Lorient, Steve enjoys kitesurfing and being outdoors! He describes it as “conducting my own dynamic risk assessments outside of work, where I look to the sky and the clouds and hope that the wind gods enable me to go kitesurfing – ride the waves, get some air time and embrace the beauty of Devon”
We’re excited to see Steve’s vision for health, safety, and our environmental responsibility unfold at Lorient. Welcome, Steve!
