Sandra Adkins is a Safety Culture, Human Performance, and Safety Science Manager: Process and Operational Safety- HSE and C at bp. She possess expertise in petroleum, oil and gas, upstream, gas, oilfield and 26 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "From my many interactions with Sandra over the past several years, it is clear that she is an industry-recognised expert in safety leadership and human performance who delivers high quality and ground-breaking thought leadership and products. For example, Sandra has been a modernising force in the drilling industry, presenting at conferences and producing well-received materials to demystify the human performance approach. Through building trust with the drilling companies, she led the collaboration to agree a common human performance framework that gave a focus to move up the hierarchy of controls and underlying conditions, instead of a focus on peoples' behaviours. Her connection to the front line is unparalleled through her experience as a site leader, as well as the coaching and mentoring of site managers, HSE advisors and HSE managers. She innovatively builds capability in the line operations, where she has enabled many successes in safety leadership development, task analysis, and incident investigation expertise. Sandra brings strong leadership skills that improve the effectiveness of teams, both technical (e.g. Agile, e.g. Crew Resource Management) and behavioural (e.g. psychological safety e.g. diversity and inclusion expertise). I look forward to continuing to follow her career as she progresses to ever-more challenging roles." and "Sandy's experience with the study of history has prepared her as a critical thinker and excellent writer. These skills combined with her physics background and her willingness to work hard (another history contribution) have made her a very special person as well as employee. She has established a foreign language scholarship at her alma mater to help students gain language skills that will take them farther in their careers. She is, in short, a wonderful person, a consumate professional, and a caring individual. At West Virginia Wesleyan, we are very proud of her."
