Veolia: Giving A Helping Hand Together To Turn The Tide Case Studies • With nearly 220,000 employees worldwide, Veolia Group provides water, waste and energy management services to a wide range of industry sectors. Due to the nature of its business activities, one of the biggest safety issues for Veolia is hand safety – indeed, recent analysis of safety incidents across the organisation reveals that 33% of all incidents involve hand injuries. As a result, Veolia decided to prioritise a global focus for a Safety Reset on hand safety in 2022.

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.
Coho Resources: Assist and Assure – Using a Common Language to Build a Team Mentality Around Safety Case Studies • 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.
Enerflex: Assist and Assure – 7 Steps for Step-Change Improvement in Workforce Engagement Case Studies • Many companies use some sort of hazard identification checklist to do pre-job risk assessments.

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.
