- First awarding of the newly-created Jerry Carnell – Special Commendation Health and Safety Award
- The Award was created to honour the memory of influential Health and Safety industry figure
- Award winner formerly a senior officer in search and rescue helicopter operations
Siemens’ Head of EHS (Offshore), Peter Lloyd, was yesterday awarded the inaugural Jerry Carnell Safety Award in Renewable UK’s Health and Safety Awards 2016.
The newly-created award honours the memory of Jerry Carnell, a well-known and influential figure Health and Safety in the renewable energy sector, who passed away unexpectedly in 2015.
Award winner Peter, despite having joined Siemens only in 2011, has been transformative both for safety culture at Siemens Wind Power, and in the wider industry. He established himself as a leading light within the RenewableUK aviation and safety groups, becoming a member of these in 2012.
As a former senior officer in helicopter search and rescue operations, Peter has worked tirelessly to bring industry bodies and stakeholders together to jointly raise standards and adopt best practice approaches.
The award nomination citation states, “Peter has brought a degree of professionalism to the industry that has earned credibility with stakeholders such as the HSE, ICOA, MCA and others.
Without Peter’s efforts we would have had much greater intervention from regulators and more importantly working safely offshore would simply not be as well embedded in the industry culture as it is today.”
Siemens Chief Executive, Juergen Maier says, “I am delighted that Peter has been singled out for this richly-deserved, special recognition award. Peter’s appointment was one of a number of measures implemented to embed a Zero Harm culture within the business. It is a measure of Peter’s influence and success that this has not only been accomplished within the company, but that his leadership has benefited workers throughout the offshore wind industry.”
