Throughout September and October, our Senior Leadership Team gathered to strategise how we can more actively shape and influence cultural trends that promote a safe, supportive, and collaborative workplace for all our teams. To accomplish this, we have identified a number of key priorities designed to reinforce safety as a cornerstone of our business.
Our primary goal is to both reduce workplace accidents, in addition to fostering an environment that prioritises the well-being of each employee. Beyond technical skills, we are emphasising the importance of behavioural and interpersonal skills that make HCE a safer, more cohesive place to work. Traits like teamwork, trust, and clear communication are central to our approach – it’s crucial we recognise that positive relationships and attitudes drive overall company performance.
To make this vision a reality, we’re implementing several impactful initiatives aimed at building a culture of safety, respect, and continuous improvement. This includes…
- Each of our sites now actively participating in safety observation reporting, where observations are gathered across locations and sent to our head office.
- Black Hat Training being completely rolled out for all our supervisors company-wide.
- Further training on company policy and procedures to ensure everyone has a clear understanding of how we operate.
- Comprehensive Safe System Of Work training, and its subsequent implementation.
We invited Project Managers from all of our various sites across the country, as well as Engineers, to discuss how we’re actively seeking their support in driving a cultural shift across our sites. As we continue to embed these initiatives across our schemes, we are excited to see the positive impact a strong, safety-focused culture can have on our company.
