Be Human Be Safe drives what matters most to your business:

Better performance, stronger teams and fewer incidents.

When safety becomes a shared value, not just a rulebook, it not only protects your people and your operations, but strengthens it.

We help you build a culture where safety is led by example, supported by systems, and embraced by everyone, from the boardroom to the workfloor.

It's not just the right thing to do—it’s how smart businesses gain competitive, sustainable advantage.

About Marieke Bleyenbergh

What drives me is simple: I believe that everyone deserves a workplace that is safe and when people feel safe they show up, perform at their best, speak up, and grow.

Over the past 25+ years, I’ve worked in leadership roles in operations, HSE and supply chain in international organizations like Shell, AkzoNobel and as CEO in circular cleantech. That journey has taught me a lot about leadership, complexity, and what it takes to build trust in fast-moving, high-pressure environments.

I founded Be Human Be Safe because I’ve seen how powerful it is when safety becomes something we live—not just something we check off. I love working with leaders and teams, creating space for honest conversations, energy, and learning that actually sticks.

Whether I’m speaking to a group or coaching one-on-one, my goal is always the same: to help people connect—to themselves, to each other, and to what really matters.

I founded Be Human Be Safe to help organizations move beyond compliance and lead with care, clarity, and courage.

We support your leaders in becoming safety role models, not just safety messengers.

"We’ve ticked all the boxes… so why are people still getting hurt?"
