Jason Maitland
Master of Business Administration (H-Watt)
In the past Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) practices were thought to be lacking in Trinidad & Tobago. This attitude towards HSE was believed to have contributed to increased numbers of incidents which, at times, resulted in significant loss. Internationally, there has been increased focus on HSE in both developed and developing countries and this has driven me to focus my efforts on providing sound HSE advice locally. This is closely aligned to my goal of developing competency in our human resources. To facilitate this I have pursued internationally recognized degrees (MBA from Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University with a Specialism in Strategic Planning, MSc. in Occupational Safety and Health from the University of Greenwich and a BSc. in Chemistry and Zoology) and play an active role in several international HSE organizations.
With over 12 years of experience in the HSE, Security and Quality fields, I am a firm believer in systems. My work experience has been in the Construction and Oil and Gas sectors primarily for multinational companies. As we celebrate SBCS` 25th Anniversary, I believe this adds merit to the value of perseverance. I also believe that as a society we should seek to embody our National Watchwords of Discipline, Production and Tolerance.
