Devya Ashok

Health, Safety and Environment Stakeholder Manager

Devya Ashok is Health, Safety and Environment Stakeholder Manager at the local organising committee of a major event that the organiser does not name on her listing. Stakeholder management in this field differs from safety management itself: the task is to make the many parties working on an event speak one language on safety, contractors, suppliers, venue owners, government bodies and emergency services, and to align standards, permits and incident reporting procedures between them. It is a layer whose value shows in large events in particular, where dozens of contractors with differing safety cultures work on one site, and any gap between them turns into an incident.
