The overall objective of the Team is to develop and implement strategies which will be used as a journey of transformation to foster Safety Culture Excellence within our operations. Safety Culture Excellence can be defined as: A set of capabilities that enable continuous improvement in safety performance and create a chemistry and climate in which such improvement is nurtured and encouraged. This journey would take Heritage to a position where safety is key and is fully integrated into our work. The ultimate objective is goal zero – zero accidents. This intent is in line with the Team’s mantra that Safety Always Fosters Excellence.
What was achieved thus far?
Since the establishment of the Team in October 2021, there have been several brainstorming exercises which resulted in knowledge sharing and the eventual development of the Safety Excellence Roadmap 2022. The aim of this roadmap is to identify the key activities that will be conducted with the intent of fostering a positive Safety Culture at Heritage.
