Case Studies

Beach Energy: Standardising Fitness to Work Medical Assessments Case Studies • November 2021 With more than 700 employees and contractors and a wide range of suppliers, Beach Energy had a long-established medical assessment program in place. However there were 3 different medical standards in use across the newly formed business, depending on which producing basin a person worked in and whether they worked in an onshore or offshore role.

Halliburton: A Cool Way To Do Heat Stress Awareness Training Case Studies • August 2021 People who work at the front line in our industry often work in remote locations, outdoors and exposed to the weather for the duration of their work shift. In the summer months in particular, when the temperature rises, heat stress is a very real risk exposure for the workforce of most companies working in the oil & gas industry sector.

INPEX: Streamlining Safety Inductions Case Studies • June 2021 It’s not uncommon in many large companies for safety induction programs to become more cluttered from one year to the next. In response to audit findings and incident investigations, there is often a tendency for companies to adopt a mindset of thinking “more is better”, resulting in more and more content being added to safety training courses, especially safety inductions. But a lengthy and voluminous induction does not necessarily improve safety outcomes.

Arrow Energy: A Fit-For-Purpose Approach To Fitness To Work Medical Assessments Case Studies • May 2021 A high proportion of Arrow Energy’s staff work in remote locations, some distance and time away from sophisticated medical facilities and rapid emergency response. Arrow required all staff to do a pre-employment Fitness To Work medical, but historically there was no follow-up program of regular review.

Coho Resources: Assist and Assure – Using a Common Language to Build a Team Mentality Around Safety Case Studies • February 2021 Like many other companies, Coho Resources traditionally used a range of safety management tools such as Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to do pre-job risk assessments. But after a long run of good safety performance, a sudden rise in incidents was a wake-up call that signs of complacency were beginning to emerge. This led the team at Coho Resources to question just how effective the tools they had been using to date actually were.

Global Engineering & Construction: Taking Assist and Assure to the Cooper Basin Case Studies • February 2021 Managing change is never easy for any organisation. As a service provider to the oil and gas industry, when a company’s workload suddenly ramps up it can be a real test of their capability to maintain a high standard of service through the period of growth.

Enerflex: Assist and Assure – 7 Steps for Step-Change Improvement in Workforce Engagement Case Studies • September 2020 Many companies use some sort of hazard identification checklist to do pre-job risk assessments. But this approach can discourage people to think for themselves because they have a tendency to rely on the checklist to identify all the potential problems. If the checklist does not address a key issue, the person using it may well overlook some of the hazards associated with carrying out the job.

Improving Industry Safety Via Real Collaboration: A Case Study From the Qld CSG Sector Case Studies • August 2020 Michelle Zaunbrecher (Arrow Energy) and Seán O’Donnell (Safer Together) prepared a paper for the 2020 APPEA Conference.

Safety Culture Survey - A Smart Solution for Strengthening Workforce Engagement Case Studies • July 2020 Understanding the baseline safety culture and getting valuable safety insights from work teams is hugely beneficial for any company. As Operator of the Gorgon project - one of the world’s largest LNG projects and the largest single resource project in Australia’s history, Chevron Australia has a large and diverse workforce of employees and contractors.

Reflect, Reset and Reboot – A Safety “Pulse Check” to Build Stronger Workforce Engagement Case Studies • July 2020 During times of business upheaval and disruption, it’s essential for senior leaders to check in with their employees and understand how they are feeling. Understanding, measuring, boosting and maintaining workforce engagement plays a central role in ensuring companies are not only able to adapt to rapid changes in the workplace, but also well positioned to emerge stronger.
