'Rethinking Safety through Inclusion + Wellbeing' Workshop
At Laing O’Rourke, our commitment is to both physical and psychological safety, because we know that simply managing physical risk is no longer enough. We push the boundaries of what is possible on site to ensure our people are safe at work. We are 'Rethinking Safety through Inclusion + Wellbeing' because everyone's voice matters and because we care. It is mandatory for all personnel working on the South Eastern Program Alliance to attend and complete this workshop as outlined in our mobilisation process.
Description
Rethinking Safety through Inclusion + Wellbeing sets new standards for safety and leadership through three core areas of focus:
- Engineering out risk and engineering in health;
- Ensuring everyone’s voice is heard and contribution valued; and
- Demonstrating care for both physical and mental wellbeing
There are three pillars that work together across the project lifecycle to support Rethinking Safety through Inclusion + Wellbeing:
1. Engineered Safety
- Engineered Safety describes how we will work with our designers, clients, and suppliers to ‘engineer out risk’ and ‘engineer in health’ at every stage of a project’s lifecycle, drawing on people’s insight and experience to deliver solutions which protect everyone from harm.
2. Delivery Excellence
- Delivery Excellence describes how our industry leading health and safety management system remains at the core of everything we do, providing our people with access to the best systems, tools, and processes to improve all elements of physical and mental wellbeing.
3. Human Performance
- Human Performance acknowledges the importance of providing a working environment which supports people’s holistic health, enabling them to thrive. By managing people’s personal energy and capacity levels we can sustain high performance workplace. It promotes a culture where everyone is included no matter what role they play.
This is the new adaptation of the previous 'Shifting into Next Gear'.
