Recent data indicate that starting health-, safety-, and environment- (HSE) related activities in line with construction results in poor HSE performance characterized by reaction and recovery.

This paper discusses the HSE management strategy known as Getting Ahead of the Curve for the Lake Charles Liquefied Natural Gas (LCLNG) project.
