Operations HSS Management System

Security and Emergency Management Interfaces

• Work closely with the Corporate Security Manager to support field implementation of approved security strategies, plans, and controls.

• Support site-level coordination where security requirements affect HSS execution, contractor management, access control, workforce behaviour, or field readiness.

• Work closely with the Emergency Response Manager to support field implementation of emergency response strategies, plans, drills, exercises, and readiness requirements.
