Our Total Safety Culture is based on the philosophy of three components interacting to affect safety outcomes—Person, Work Environment and Practices.
Successful health and safety outcomes are achieved when all of these components are recognised and targeted. Overarching management support and leadership are critical to successful ongoing implementation of a total safety culture.
Person
The person aspect relates to an individual’s psychological make-up—the cognitive and emotional processes which drive their behaviour.
Our key focus in the people component of our Total Safety Culture is the Zero Incident Process (ZIP) program. ZIP is a cognitive-based safety and wellbeing program which aims to empower people to take control of their personal safety and wellbeing by providing insight into the way the brain works, thinking, attitudes and values around safety and wellbeing.
We also have a range of other employee wellbeing programs which are consolidated under the Stanwellbeing employee health program.
Work Environment
Environment is the physical workplace comprising our plant (equipment) and its associated hazards. A range of projects have been or are currently being completed to improve the working environment and plant safety within Stanwell.
We continue to review our plant for compliance with current laws and, through a systematic risk-based program, re-engineer plant to comply with changed standards.
Practices
Our OHS Management System overarches the practices component of our Total Safety Culture. Practices are the systems and supporting structures which define the processes for undertaking work across our sites and include policies, procedures, risk assessment processes and training.
In 2005, we implemented the Authority to Work (ATW) system. The ATW system is a whole-of-work system linking safe and environmentally responsible work practices with maintenance management and authorisation protocols to deliver an integrated approach to hazard management and work completion.
The ATW system draws together in a streamlined way, key processes, including work management planning, hazard identification, control allocation and risk analysis, plant isolation milestones and work approval and authorisation.
