Based on pragmatic systems and practices, Deloitte has a unique approach to building safety leadership and culture. Our specialists can conduct safety leadership and culture assessments of your organisation and provide practical guidance for continuous improvement. We align culture to safety outcomes by: 

• Understanding and quantifying the maturity of safety practices
• Designing and implementing safety maturity frameworks
• Assessing ethics, leadership and organisational culture and their impacts on health and wellbeing
• Developing foundational training packages, which are tailored to your needs, including due diligence for officers, safety leadership and culture, incident investigation and analysis, managing contractor risks, etc.
• Designing an approach to not only address health, safety, and wellbeing outcomes but to also enable increased productivity for better business outcomes.

Deloitte’s safety specialists working with our Strategy and Operations practice can help you develop a safety strategy that will improve business outcomes. When it comes to safety, the strategy is about minimising risk and reducing incidents. We can help your organisation by doing the following: 

• HSEW strategy and framework assessments
• Workshop facilitation on current and future state
• Design of strategy, frameworks, and models
• Match strategic direction to risk profile
• Leadership coaching
• Assess economic factors and workforce demographics impacting workers and work-design

Our approach to Psychosocial Health and Safety is holistic and prioritises the management of key risks to employee wellbeing while enabling the necessary changes within an organisation’s culture to facilitate these initiatives. We work with leading organisations to help them adopt an ongoing and effective approach to managing employee wellbeing. We deliver our approach to psychosocial health and safety in the following ways: 

• Psychosocial risk assessments that identify and assess risks against legislated standards and further risks that may be prevalent in your organisational context
• Wellbeing strategy and framework assessments.
• Training and awareness of psychosocial risks or hazards to promote leadership and organisational capability.
• Context-informed control design and implementation to mitigate or manage psychosocial hazards or factors impacting employee wellbeing.
• Asset development to support the integration of psychosocial health and safety management to enable consideration as part of business management or decision-making frameworks.
• Identification, design, and integration of wellbeing analytics within performance reporting frameworks.

When organisations focus on understanding and controlling hazards, they often fail to maintain an underlying management system, thinking the system is out of date or doesn’t comply with current standards. Our team of specialists have significant experience in helping organisations work through safety problems and overhaul management systems aligned to health, safety, and wellbeing risk profiles. We specialise in: 

• Design specific management systems components or plans e.g., emergency response plans, contractor management, sexual harassment gendered violence, etc.
• HSEW management system design and implementation
• Customisation and implementation of smart technologies for management systems.

We conduct advanced safety analytic projects, utilising existing client data and proprietary Deloitte data to understand key risk trends, dispel commonly held myths about safety performance and determine why things happen. Our analytic approach increases an organisation’s capacity to act in an informed way, and we do this by: 

• Review existing reporting systems and identify improvements in reporting metrics and requirements
• Design a suite of performance indicators and metrics that are outcome focused (with lead, lag, and mental health metrics), noting any limitation of existing data sources
• Evaluate the impacts and effectiveness of the WHS system (e.g., assess the risks to people; and the impact on business performance, such as the impact on productivity, reputation and WHS outcomes etc.)

Contractor management can be a challenging area to understand, and therefore, contractor risk management should be integrated into your safety management system. Our range of services includes: 

• Review the current contractor safety management process and make recommendations
• Undertake HSEW tender reviews and development of onboarding processes.
• Development of a contractor safety management program demonstrates safety leadership and includes safety procedures, checklists, induction and/or training, etc.
• Development of a fit-for-purpose contractor assurance and governance framework to ensure you meet your legal obligations without ‘over-managing’ your pool of contractors.

Deloitte recognises that a critical aspect of a safety management system is identifying, assessing, and controlling hazards and risks.
