Safer Together launched the Frontline HSER Engagement Framework at the recent ISF Event in Perth.  Member companies can now access the materials at: www.safertogether.com.au/HSER-Portal.

Embedding a strong culture is critical to delivering improved HSE performance. Cultivating HSE capability and ownership in frontline personnel is key to building this culture across our industry.

In order to build a stronger HSE culture a shift from systems-focus to people-focus is required. We know that people (not processes and procedures) deliver superior HSE results. 

Frontline HSERs can be important change agents. If armed with the right tools and enabled by the right culture, HSERs can be enhanced as leaders and can serve as the eyes and ears of the industry at the frontline. They can enable the exchange of ideas and concerns about HSE matters and be empowered to drive on-the-ground innovative solutions.

Safer Together has launched an industry-wide formalised on-boarding and support program to standardise HSER roles and responsibilities, build capability, and establish clear channels of communication connecting HSERs to promote proactive sharing of learnings, lessons and best practices across the industry. The Frontline HSER Engagement Framework will support and leverage the entire industry network of passionate and engaged frontline personnel who are trusted and respected by their workgroups. It will create an engaged, integrated, capable and empowered HSER network as a force multiplier for improved HSE performance.

A HSE Representative Resource File has been developed which includes an overview of all resources and tools available to HSERs to effectively perform their role. This file is available to be downloaded by members. Members can also purchase hard copy versions of the file.
