Elaine Osborne

I am an experienced SH&E Manager, with 14 years’ experience of multi-site and multi-discipline operations, and I absolutely love it! My Safety management positions cover a variety of organisations; the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (conservation charity, RSPB), Translink (Northern Ireland’s public transport provider), Harland & Wolff (shipbuilders), and McLaughlin & Harvey (a Tier 1 Principal Contractor).

I have a strong desire to make organisations safer and more successful, and with a workforce that feels valued and supported to carry out their roles safely. I firmly believe in leading by example and demonstrating my commitment to Safety, and I am continually seeking to understand and promote a positive safety culture. I believe in the power of learning from others and encourage proactive approaches to collaboration and sharing ideas.

I have been involved with various Safety groups, including the Safety Group for the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT), and the IOSH NI Branch Committee. I am a RoSPA Mentor for Safety professionals, and I hope to promote H&S as an occupation through being a STEM Ambassador.
