Case Studies

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.

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.

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.
