Building a Safer, Simpler Business: Beach Energy's Five-Year Journey to HSE Excellence

Perspective
Technology Stage
Day 01

Beach Energy runs confined space entry, work at height over water, mobile equipment, pipeline installation, and offshore vessel operations across multiple Australian basins. That result is well above industry benchmarks for that risk profile and stems from a deliberate decision to simplify business operations and apply technology where it removes risk or sharpens visibility.

In this session, Beach Energy COO Glenn Watt shares the operational transformation behind the result. How the team simplified the HSE management system, replaced fragmented contractor compliance with a single source of truth for workforce competency, and used technology to improve visibility and remove people from high-risk environments. MyPass CEO Matt Smith will frame the industry context and join Glenn for Q&A.

  • Simplifying the HSE management system
  • Building one verifiable source of truth for contractor competency across every site and basin
  • Using technology to remove people from risk, not to add complexity
  • Five year journey to HSE excellence
