In this episode, we dive into the multifaceted world of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) with guest, Claus Rose, Senior Executive, EHS Separation Management Officer at GE Vernova.

With over three decades of groundbreaking work, from his early days in the armed forces to leading initiatives in renewable energy, Claus shares his journey into becoming a visionary in the EHS realm.

His work in spearheading the Global Wind Organisation and transforming safety practices showcases his deep commitment to advancing the field.\

Claus underscores the vital importance of diversity of experience in EHS, the transformative power of learning from incidents, and the pivotal role of empathy in leadership.

He also emphasises how hands-on experience and understanding front-line challenges not only build trust between leadership and operational staff but also drive more effective safety cultures.
