All Vice Presidents have formally acknowledged their commitment to BeyondZero and to establish performance objectives to deliver on the focus areas of the BeyondZero strategy. Supervision Supervisors fill an important role at Jacobs. The Jacobs HSE Program is line-management driven, and as such, the supervisor (and manager) has ultimate responsibility and authority for implementation of the HSE program in their area of responsibility. Worker Participation Worker consultation and participation in the HSE program are both expected and encouraged through our Culture of Caring as described in BeyondZero: To 2025 and Beyond . The term “worker” includes Jacobs employees, agency staff, and Jacobs-managed contractors or subcontractors where possible so that all employees performing work on behalf of Jacobs are able to participate. When employee consultation or participation is required, it is included in the appropriate written HSE policy, procedure, or guideline. Various systems are in place for employee consultation and participation, including, but not restricted to:  Planning – Workers participate in preparation of HSE plans and Safe Systems of Work (described below), identification and assessment of hazards and control measures.  Emergency Plans – Workers participate in development of emergency plans, emergency drills and exercises, and critiques and improvement to emergency plans.  Audits and Inspections – Workers can participate as a member of audit teams and have ongoing responsibilities in conducting and documenting worksite inspections.  Incident Management – Workers are often consulted and participate in incident reporting, recovery, incident analysis, and any resulting actions.  BeyondZero Observation Reports – Workers play a central role in making HSE observations in their day--to-day work activities as a means to manage risk and share knowledge, practices and concerns.  BeyondZero and HSE Committee (HSC) Meetings – Many offices and projects have an HSC that meets monthly to address HSE issues and improvements.  BeyondZero Awards – Workers nominate projects and personnel for various HSE awards designed to encourage and recognize proactive employee participation in the overall HSE program.  StepBack – The StepBack program complements the work planning process, whereby employees can step back from their activities to further evaluate risk and identify any additional hazards or impacts that may be in the work area.
