Chairman & Managing Director of ERMAS

I was loaned from the ministry of Petroleum to the ministry of transport to assist in the change of management that started in 2006 to restructure the Egyptian National Railways. My responsibility included but not limited to upgrade the Egyptian Railways to restore an acceptable safe performance level after ages of negligence that resulted to too many accidents/incidents, non compliance with safety regulations, 50 % of the rolling fleet was unavailable, the operation service was unacceptable, its cargo transport market share dropped from 20 % to 3 % and the annual finance defect was around one billion Egyptian pound. During the last 6 years where I worked as Chairman for a

Company Position Description

company in the Egyptian Railways workshop, I had to take the responsibility of establishing the HSE system from scratches since the HSE awareness was very much behind and actually below zero, which makes all work operation at high risk. HSE department was established reported directly to me with mostly fresh graduate engineers that we had to send them for class room training and on the job training in oil companies. During the last 3 years due to the difficulty to hire an experienced HSE Manager, I had to act as HSE manager in addition to my main assignment as chairman of the company. I think we managed to achieve gradual progress with upgrading the awareness of 5000 workers and the indicators of the upgrade in term of accidents/incidents did gradually improve, the most important of this achievement that I got personal satisfaction to my career, our great success that we managed to change the attitude of the workers to make the HSE as daily management system and it is a built in part of the job responsibility of each worker, so I am confident to apply for your post

It is worth to mention that I have had the chance to attend the restructure transformation of ENR from Cost Centre Organization to three profit centre business units and outsource all noncore services to separate companies. The issue of Safety has been always a major concern of any Minister since he is more and above a serious threat to his post. I would like to assure that a safety regulatory policy is available with ENR and it is very close to the British one since the British who introduced Railway Industry into Egypt, The existing policy would be probably needed to update to cope with the too many changes happened but the most important parameter is the leadership, adherence, control, reinforcement and etc. The matter is not so simple as the sentence may indicate, but Safety is a global management system starts from ENR Chairman till the crossing guard, Any International Safety Management System includes too many elements differs slightly from industry to other but they are common in one element which is leadership that is always number 1, When Booz Allen Hamilton launched the restructure scheme, the management of change have not been fully successfully because the Human Resource development have not been changed at the same pace.

Please note that two certificates in my training list include two specific courses in Safety Management System by one of the most credible institutes in HSE in USA.
