Stephen Asbury is probably the best instructor that I have come across, and he certainly received the highest level of feedback for the courses that he delivered for the PetroSkills oil and gas training alliance. Stephen brings enthusiasm, ability to communicate, and an understanding of the subject.

Stephens’s thoughts on structure in control and auditing of HSEQ-MS have been expressed through this book since 2007. It is inspiring and wonderful that his approach continues to guide health and safety and other risk practitioners on how to deliver meaningful business risk management, efficiency, and continual improvement. In everything he does, Stephen remains true to PDCA roots, easily seen through this wonderful fourth edition.

Steve rocks.... It's my greatest oppurtunity to attend a programme in OIMS and get personally trained by Steve. I have never attended a training that made so much impact on the audience. He is always prepared, preempted and punctual. Steve took what is almost a dry topic and completely transformed it into an extraordinary training programme. He is an excellent coach, his knowledge in Safety, Operations Integrity is world class. I recommended my collegues to attend this training and suggested to make sure they are trained under Steve. I wish Steve to continue creating awareness and make world a better place.

Steve was providing a 4 days training for our company recently. The way he handled the four days was felt very impressive. He was very much energetic all through the four days, delivering lot of useful information, statistical data and some historical events on industrial accidents / incidents. The small puzzles of each day were adding more flavor in increasing the participation of the attendees. On the last day, the whole group missed him.

Stephen is renowned for his contribution in the field of health, safety and environment assurance and risk-based audit. I was privileged to have worked with him in South Africa, Europe and many parts of Asia to sincerely share his strong qualities of dedication, perseverance and such fun to work with. He takes pain to complete his tasks with aplomb, is a great team player, orchestrator yet an excellent mastermind. His penchant for detail and customer satisfaction is worthy of emulation.
