The Journey to Safety
Challenge
Modulaire Group is Europe and Asia Pacific’s leading specialist company in modular services and infrastructure, with operations in 23 countries and nearly 5,000 employees. Despite recent improvements, incidents at Modulaire Group highlighted a gap in safety performance and the need to immediately address the risk of Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF).
Solution
dss+ worked with Modulaire Group to assess the current safety management system, organisation, processes, and KPIs to identify improvement opportunities, including its management of contractors. This included a Safety Perception Survey (SPS), interviews, site visits, and a SIF assessment. Findings and Future-State Visioning workshops were held with Excom to align the requirements to become world-class in safety. Consensus was achieved across the organisation on the need to enhance safety leadership competencies. dss+ designed and delivered a behavioural-based safety programme called “Taking the next step to becoming a better safety leader.” This programme fostered understanding of the role of a leader in advancing safety culture and to develop safety observation and communication skills for over 1,000 managers and supervisors across all regions and sites.
“Safety is our first priority and moving quickly towards an interdependent culture is very important to Modulaire. dss+ has played a vital role in training over 1,000 colleagues in safety observations and conversations to help us accelerate our progress to interdependence. The quality and knowledge of the dss+ trainers has been appreciated by our teams across the world.”
