HSE management components
Health, safety and environmental management should be part of the engineering profession in the country for the purpose of
o Due Diligence
or economic factors and
or legal reasons.

Should therefore consider the HSE management of five major phase:
* Specifications
* Design and implementation
* Installation and commissioning
* The Operation and Maintenance
* Changes after commissioning.
* Compliance with these standards requires four basic elements:
* Identification of active safety requirements for safe shutdown
* Assignment of Safety Integrity Level (SISILE) for each job security
* Use of security processes for the construction and
* Check the ISL achieved for each job security.

3.0 technical guidance
Engineering code of proper behavior into account the following:
* Public Safety: priority to the safety and welfare of the community and in the light of this principle in assessing commitment to clients, employers and colleagues.
* Risk Management: take appropriate measures to reduce the risk of loss of life, injury or suffering.
Reduce the risks involved in the design and manufacture of technical products and processes: work on site.
* Development Public / Community
* Contact
* Conflict of interest
* Secret

Engineering skills preference is for skilled personnel in charge and who is responsible for the use of expertise in engineering, scientific knowledge and ingenuity for the development of well-being and quality of life. Based on the behavior of engineers is true, trust and loyalty of their service to the community, practice respect and ethics, fairness, respect and good faith towards clients, colleagues and others. Engineers take aspects of social, cultural, economic, environmental and security considering and working hard to make the best use of the resources of the world to meet the long term needs of the people.

4.0 Safe construction plan
Security is a concern in almost all of the construction process. Engineers must be security in the context of design and what does it mean to say that design is sure that the violation of human understanding.

Current approach to design priority economic issues related to the environment highlighted. In some cases, the issues of economic and environmental objectives used. For example, a minimization of materials are used in structure due to resource stocks. While economic issues were saved for the length of the running costs of the product, then contrary to the interests of the environment which need to be as long as possible to reduce the product due to the need for the use of resources and waste generation as possible.

The security is in constant danger. Such a design is to ensure, as far as it reduces the risk. Safe design aims to reduce the risk through the usual sense of the word.

Safe design is a combination of all of the procedures and regulations designed by engineers safe from accidental things that used human death or injury to make the effects of long-term health, the environment or disability in the administration.

Design a variety of strategies to ensure safety is accessible during operation of potentially dangerous technologies:
* Design of inherently safe
* Issues of security
* Negative feedback (Auto-off)
* Multiple security restrictions.

Possible Risk Assessment (PREY) is a common procedure for assessing safety, but safe design is used to reduce the risk of common (probabilistic) as, but not enough. Safe design approach that can be used to reduce the risk not only the estimated likelihood of damage or reduce the uncertainty. They are used to address the risks and the situation can not assign probabilities mean.

5.0 Design principles of engineering
There are four principles (4) The basic skills in engineering design.

(A) inherently safe design:
This minimizes the risk of nature from a distance as possible. Risk is not excluded as closed or managed. Dangerous substances will be replaced by more dangerous and refractories and non-users were burning.

(B) security issues
Construction should be strong enough to withstand the stress and inconvenience than determined. Common asylum procedure as security is clearly dealing chosen because security numbers are used. If the safety factor of two (2) is used when the bridge, the bridge is calculated for it faced the gym twice the maximum combat load.

(C) Negative feedback mechanisms
It was brought to reach the auto-off for failure or if the operator loses control. Examples are safety valves to let off steam if the pressure is too large boiler and the dead pit stops the train when the driver asleep. One of the most important safety measures in the nuclear industry, is, almost directly reactors in poor condition.

(D) the security restrictions Multiple
Security restrictions are arranged in the chain, so that each barrier is independent of its predecessor (if the first fails, the second is still intact). First obstacle to prevent accidents, the next obstacle reduce the result of an accident and emergency services as a last resort.

Security issues and a wide range of security restrictions to cope with uncertainty and risk. But now, probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) is used, but do not meet the point. The probability calculations help but not a moral condemnation of the engineers responsible alternative (environment, health and safety culture).

Safety engineering principles include corporate training, maintenance of equipment and facilities and event information are examples of the way security is of prime importance.

6.0 HEALTH, SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT engineering management skills
Engineering profession is expected to be a harbinger of health, safety and environmental management that due to the complexity of the output of the profession and its impact on the lives of ordinary people. If you've done to us along with our professional skills?

Seven (7) of bad engineering companies are recognized:
* In the belief that if something is not explicitly stated, "do" either or "no" to the standards, the engineer does not take care of them.
* Consider that meets the minimum requirements for the procedure is safe and regulations.
* Ignoring the importance of good engineering practices.
* Program Systems, but do not meet the requirements of the protection needed economic security.
* Ignoring the human factors (errors in calculations, etc.)
* Study the cost of capital and not the cost of the life cycle.
* Focusing only on the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) and not on the block.

Security is an important ethical requirements engineering skills. Safe design approach not only to reduce the estimated likelihood of harm but the risks and contingencies that make sense probabilities can not be assigned to manage. The designer has a moral duty to make designs that are safe for future use. Security is the avoidance of certain categories of cases which almost better to avoid infected.

In engineering design, safety analysis is always secured against accidental death of persons or damage that occurs as a result of misuse is designed for:
* To prevent damage to the environment
* Avoid the health effects of long-term

For example, if the bridge collapses, the engineers who designed them accountable.

Creating designers and builders construction safety in the use of platforms, networking tools, container boxes, mechanical lift or support compliance elevators safer methods, use of personal protective equipment (PEP) Article (boots / helmet ), sections exposed in road construction band cordon off the area of employment, etc. Many engineers neglected this issue, so playing with the lives of the general population.

What engineers have permanent effects on the safety and determine our level of environmental health, safety and culture.

7.0 Ethical responsibility in engineering practice
Ethical responsibility is important for engineers to implement their profession. Reliable without confidentiality of customer engineers and commercially sensitive information. Without this information, it can not do their job engineers. To understand the moral responsibility of our profession as the task required.

There are five (5) core values for moral obligations:
* Protection of human life and protect the people.
Professionalism, integrity and competence
* Welfare / Public Commitment to community
* Sustainable management and protection of the environment
* Develop knowledge engineering

8.0 Engineering Practice Requirements
* Engineers are doing their best to put the facade health, safety and environmental / social interest.
* Engineers only in their field or field of competence skills, with careful and honest manner and in accordance with the standards, rules, regulations, rules and regulations applicable to the practice of engineering.
* Technician examines the social and environmental impacts of their actions and projects, including the use and conservation of resources and energy and provide appropriate recommendations and decisions ..
* Engineers should clearly declare their interests.
Signed * Engineers to take responsibility for all engineering work in preparing or serving directly. Engineers can simply for their approval and then test and inspection want to sign the deeds of others available.
* Engineers are considered agents loyal to their employers or clients to act to protect the confidentiality, avoiding interest whenever possible and inevitable conflict in open conflict.
* Engineers concerned professional skills needed to become a subscriber to the results of the technical decisions or judgments.
* Engineers should all public works, engineering decisions or practices that endanger public rejection HSE.
* Engineers apply the commitment to lifelong learning, seeking to expand the content of knowledge in engineering and engineers to encourage others to do so.
* Engineers promotes responsibility, commitment and values of both training and practical phase of engineering. They are designed to improve the understanding of the role civil society engineers and encourage communication between the ethical principles of engineers.

9.0 Sustainable management of HSE
It is about the long human life. He acknowledged that the decisions made today must use all means they can now and in the foreseeable future effective decisions about the quality of their lives.

Failure to comply with these security threats and inability to handle or control the risks identified human and economic consequences for costly. Interdisciplinary nature of security technologies means that a very wide range of professionals actively involved in the prevention of accidents and safety engineering.

Critical error at risk or just a few people. Error in disaster risk, damaged or eliminate the large number of people. Integrating fault or inability to engineer HSE management in practice it spells disaster.

10.0 FUTURE
Everyone has his mind HSE awareness by giving priority to safety. Also, cost-effective solution developed to get a good return on investment.

Engineers take the early development of a system of learning what errors can occur and then beat make safety requirements specification design safe systems of early to change the current system.

As the complexity of security is discovered late in the development process, they can correct e very expensive. This type of error has the potential to lose money.

* While all reasonable care to ensure that all of your work and the results cause unacceptable safety risk.
* Take all reasonable steps to make your management / client and all have a duty of care and awareness of the risks that you specify.
* Perform a man door or ignore your advice professional officers aware of the dangers of lead.
* It is important for engineers to take a deep and broad understanding of many aspects of technical and professional skills to put it inevitably encounter in their duties as employees of public ownership. This is achieved by appropriate education, training, experience, licenses, professional technology and professional development.

11.0 conclusion
Rules of art, such as the construction industry is an agent of social and economic development, a barometer of economic activity and a huge employer of labor in Nigeria. It accounts for over 60% of the total investment. It is the largest employer of labor (think of all electrical, mechanical, civil, chemical and computer industry jobs).

Health, safety and the environment, and the life and property located in the profession should be taken seriously. Security measures are necessary to prevent accidents, illnesses and impact public health through local manufacturing operations and its environment or off site.

Good HSE management is reflected by the quality of the professional ethics of professionals in the country, including engineers and rate their health values and conditions of their environment, that is, the level of cleanliness (personal hygiene and public health) their.

This can only be developed through personal commitment, readiness to relinquish for the benefit of the short and long term in it. Starts the HSE behavior management and safety awareness. Safety remains aware of each of us and cooperate with our professional skills are observed.

People should realize that their health and well-being of the quality of their environment and think you should apply the principles to try to improve the quality of their environment.

As engineers, we need to do more safety conscious at all times and avoid anything that could cause accidents leading. We have security measures apply to all of our daily activities and our safety and others around our duty, especially in our performance.
