Building the leadership capability
of our staff required to deliver this
improvement.
With these principles identified, work
initiatives were developed to support
the engagement strategy and were
broken into three action areas:
1.
Strategically delivering regular and
visible safety communications at
all levels of our contractors (e.g.
contractor forums, safety awards)
2.
Building the capability of frontline
leaders and ensure they are receiving
the support from their senior leaders
3.
Improving safe work interactions
and safe working behaviours through
enhanced reporting activity.
The contractor safety strategy and
supporting engagement program has
brought a new openness around the
sharing of incidents and data and
completely broken down silos not
only between us and our contractors,
but between contractors themselves.
Together we have created a genuine
environment that recognises that when
it comes to safety we are all in this
together, and we have to be ‘One Team’.
THE ONE TEAM APPROACH HAS SEEN
A NOTICEABLE REDUCTION IN INJURIES,
A PLEASING 50 PERCENT DROP IN
SAFE WORKING BREACHES AND THE
NUMBER OF HAZARDS REPORTED
IN MAINTENANCE CLOSEDOWNS
HAS MORE THAN DOUBLED.
OVERALL THERE’S BEEN STRONG IMPROVEMENT
IN SAFETY CULTURE AND PERFORMANCE.
