Here's your infographic — clean, corporate, and ready to post on your HSE channels:
Quick breakdown for your audience:

1. EHS = Environment, Health & Safety
Same as HSE, different order. Term is US/Canada-led.
Focus starts with environmental compliance and sustainability, then worker health & safety
Regulatory-driven (EPA, OSHA)
3 Pillars: Environment • Health • Safety

2. HSE = Health, Safety & Environment
Same as EHS, different order. Term is UK, EU, Africa, Middle East-led. Standard in Oil & Gas, Construction.
Focus starts with people first - worker safety & health, then environment
Risk assessment & safety culture driven
3 Pillars: Health • Safety • Environment

3. QHSE = Quality, Health, Safety & Environment
HSE/EHS + Quality Management
The evolution. Most comprehensive system.
Adds ISO 9001 Quality (customer satisfaction, process control, consistent output) to ISO 14001 (Environment) + ISO 45001 (Health & Safety)
Common in manufacturing, global ISO-certified orgs, EPC contractors
4 Pillars: Quality • Health • Safety • Environment

Evolution is simple:
HSE / EHS → QHSE
You add Quality Management for continuous improvement. 🦺🚧✅💯🚨🎯🚥📝⚠️🌡️🏗️⛑️

Here is a clean, demo-ready Behaviour Based Safety model you can use for training, toolbox talk, or your page.
The BBS Tree - How to Explain It

Think of BBS like a tree. If the roots are weak, the tree falls.

1. ROOTS - Foundation (What must exist first)
Management Commitment: Visible leadership, resources, no blame culture
Safety Policy & Procedures: Clear SOPs, risk assessments, PTW
Training & Competence: People know the safe way

Without these, any observation program will fail.

2. TRUNK - Core
Positive Safety Culture & Employee Ownership: This is the heart of BBS. It's not the HSE officer watching people. It's everyone watching out for everyone. This aligns with the classic Safety Triad concept of Person, Behavior, and Environment.

3. BRANCHES - The 6 Pillars of the Process
These are what you actually DO:

Branch 1: Identify Critical Behaviors
List 5-10 behaviours that cause 90% of your incidents. Eg: eyes on path, line of fire, bypassing guards, not wearing goggles.

Branch 2: Observation & Measurement
Peer-to-peer, short, anonymous observations. Not audits to punish.

Branch 3: Feedback & Coaching
Immediate, respectful conversation. 80% positive reinforcement, 20% correction.

Branch 4: ABC Analysis - The Engine of BBS
Within BBS, behaviour is explained in terms of the ABC model:
A - Antecedent: What triggers it? (rush, unclear procedure, peer pressure)
B - Behavior: What did the person actually do? (the observable act)
C - Consequence: What happens after? (saves time, gets praised, nothing happens)

We can't change behaviour by only changing Antecedents (more posters). We have to change Consequences.

Branch 5: Data Collection & Analysis
This is where modern BBS is going - four layers: (1) data collection, (2) safety behaviour recognition, (3) interventions, and (4) behaviour-change mechanisms. Track % safe vs at-risk over time.

Branch 6: Recognition & Reinforcement
Celebrate safe behaviour. This closes the loop known as the DO IT process: Define, Observe, Intervene, Test.

4. FRUITS - Outcomes
Increased safe behaviours
Reduced at-risk behaviours
Higher near-miss reporting
Zero harm culture

BBS works because it looks at the "why" and "how" behind daily actions and it distinguishes safe, unsafe, and habit/error-driven behaviours.

10-Minute Demo Script You Can Run Tomorrow

Perfect for a toolbox talk:

Minute 0-2: Show the tree. Ask: "If roots are weak, can branches survive? Same with safety."

Minute 2-5: Pick ONE critical behaviour. Example: "Using phones while walking in a plant."

Do ABC live:
A: Message alert, supervisor calling
B: Walking while texting
C: Saves 10 seconds, nothing bad happened last time = behaviour reinforced

Minute 5-8: Live observation. Ask one volunteer to do a task, others observe for 60 seconds and give feedback using: "I saw safe... I saw at-risk... What could help?"

Minute 8-10: Close with the question: "What consequences can WE add today to make the safe behaviour easier? ⛑️🏗️🌡️⚠️📝🚥🎯🚨💯✅🚧🦺

Types of Safety Audits

1. Compliance Audit – Checks compliance with laws, regulations, standards, permits, and company requirements.

2. Internal Audit – Conducted by the organisation’s own personnel to evaluate its safety management system.

3. External Audit – Performed by an independent third party, client, regulator, or certification body.

4. Risk-Based Audit – Focuses on high-risk activities, processes, equipment, and areas with greater potential for harm.

5. Thematic Audit – Concentrates on one specific safety topic, such as PPE, fire safety, confined spaces, or lifting.

6. Process Audit – Examines whether procedures and controls are properly implemented during operations.

7. Program Audit – Reviews the effectiveness of specific HSE programs, such as training, emergency preparedness, or contractor management.

8. Construction Safety Audit – Focuses on construction-site hazards such as work at height, excavation, scaffolding, lifting, and housekeeping.

9. Post-Incident Audit – Conducted after an incident to identify system failures, corrective actions, and lessons learned.

Pressurized Gas Cylinder Safety

Pressurized gas cylinders can cause fire, explosion, toxic exposure, asphyxiation, or severe injury if mishandled.

🔴 1. Know the Hazards

High-pressure release can cause serious injury.

Flammable gases can ignite or explode.

Inert gases can displace oxygen and cause asphyxiation.

Toxic gases can cause poisoning.

Damaged cylinders can rupture violently.

Incorrect regulators or connections can cause leaks.

🟢 2. Safe Storage

Store cylinders upright and securely restrained.

Keep valve protection caps fitted when not in use.

Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area.

Keep away from flames, sparks, heat and direct sunlight.

Separate oxygen from fuel/flammable gases according to applicable requirements.

Keep cylinders away from combustible materials.

Clearly identify and segregate full and empty cylinders.

🟠 3. Handling & Transport

Use a suitable cylinder trolley.

Secure cylinders before moving them.

Never drag, roll, drop or throw cylinders.

Do not lift a cylinder by its valve or protective cap.

Avoid striking cylinders against objects.

Keep cylinders upright during transport unless the equipment and procedure specifically require otherwise.

🔵 4. Before Connecting

Check for:

Damage, dents, corrosion or leakage

Correct gas identification and label

Valid inspection/test status

Correct regulator and fittings

Good condition of hoses and connections

Proper valve and safety devices

If damaged or leaking: DO NOT USE.

🟣 5. During Use

Use only the correct regulator and equipment for the gas.

Open valves slowly.

Stand to the side of the regulator/valve outlet where practicable.

Check connections for leaks using an approved leak-detection method—never use a flame.

Keep ignition sources away from flammable gases.

Never use oil or grease on oxygen equipment.

Close the cylinder valve when the gas is not required.

🚨 6. If a Leak Occurs

1. Stop work and alert people nearby.

2. Eliminate ignition sources if this can be done safely.

3. Close the cylinder valve only if it is safe to do so.

4. Evacuate/isol​ate the affected area.

5. Ensure adequate ventilation where appropriate.

6. Contact the emergency response team/supplier.

7. Do not re-enter until the area has been declared safe.

✅ Golden Rules

Identify the gas → Inspect the cylinder → Secure it → Use the correct regulator → Prevent leaks → Keep ignition sources away → Close the valve after use.

Never tamper with cylinder valves, pressure-relief devices or safety systems. 🏗️⛑️🌡️⚠️🎯💯✅🚧🦺🚨📝🚥

Here's your ICS infographic — clean, training-ready and based on the FEMA/ NIMS model:
What you're looking at

Incident Command System (ICS) is the standardized, on-scene management system for all hazards. It's flexible, modular, and uses common language so multiple agencies can work together.

The structure in 2 layers

1. Command Staff — reports directly to the Incident Commander:
Incident Commander (IC): Overall responsibility, sets objectives
Public Information Officer (PIO): Media and public comms
Safety Officer: Monitors safety, identifies hazards, stops unsafe acts
Liaison Officer: Coordinates with outside agencies, partners, government

2. General Staff — Four Sections:
Operations: Does the work. Executes tactics, manages field resources
Planning: Collects and analyzes data, develops the Incident Action Plan (IAP), tracks situation and resources
Logistics: Provides support — facilities, food, transport, equipment, comms
Finance/Admin: Manages costs, contracts, procurement, timekeeping and claims

Key principles to remember for HSE
Unified Command: Multiple agencies coordinate under one structure
Span of Control: 3 to 7 people per supervisor, optimal 5
Manageable by Objectives: Clear goals and IAP
Modular Organization: Expands and contracts as needed
Command Transfer: Explicit, documented — verbal/written at shift change

Lifecycle
Detection & Assessment
Incident Declaration — Type 5 (minor) to Type 1 (major)
Command Activation
Operational Stabilization — contain, protect life
Recovery & Demobilization
After Action / Lessons Learned

Core goal never changes: Protect Life > Stabilize Incident > Protect Property & Environment. 🚥📝🚨🦺🚧✅💯🎯⚠️🌡️🏗️⛑️

Quick breakdown for the caption:

The 4 Pillars - One Goal: Protecting People

🔴 HIRA - Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment
Identifies hazards, assesses risks and establishes suitable control measures. It's the big picture - covers the entire workplace, all activities. Proactive, done before work starts and reviewed periodically. Output: Risk Register.

🔵 SOP - Standard Operating Procedure
Defines the standard method for performing a task safely and consistently. For routine, repetitive jobs. Focus is consistency, quality + safety. Output: SOP Manual. Eg: Operating forklift, using fire extinguisher.

🟢 SWP - Safe Work Procedure
Provides practical requirements and precautions for carrying out a specific work activity safely. For high-risk / non-routine activities. Focus is PPE, permits, precautions. Output: Safe work instructions.

🟡 JSA - Job Safety Analysis
Breaks a job into steps, identifies hazards at each step and defines the required controls. Done immediately before the job at the worksite - last check. Output: JSA Sheet.

Simple memory aid from the field:
HIRA → Identify & assess the risk
SOP → Define the standard method
SWP → Explain the safe way to perform the task
JSA → Analyse the job step by step
Workflow: HIRA → SOP / SWP → JSA → Safe Ex*****on

The real test isn't the document - it's whether workers understand hazards, controls are available, and JSA matches actual site conditions. ⛑️🏗️🌡️⚠️💯✅🚧🦺🚨🚥📝🎯
