Three questions - have your say! Topic 1:
If you want to to shift the conversation so that the discussion with business is about how to achieve better work take the discussion out the boardroom and bring it to the people. Train your people leaders how to have safety conversations, have a system in place that makes it easy to report hazards, incidents. Put in a "better way" system that if the team suggest an idea, trail it for 3 months and and months and implement if successful. Don't leave it to the H&S people, incorporate safety into all aspects of operations so it becomes the 'new normal'.
Topic 2:
Have ACC recognize it as a issue and not treat it as 'something that happens with age i.e. degenerative disease'. Fines are useless if nothing is been done to resolve the issues and workers are not involved. Keep the training simple and ensure it is a topic discussed through the month.
Topic 3:
Put proposals out, get employees and involved and encourage feedback BEFORE spending the money on projects to benefit H&S instead of AFTER spending the money and telling the staff what the benefits are
