Zero Harm
Safe &
Tidy Plant
• People are fit to
undertake work
• Continually improving
our OH&S systems
Our Goal is Zero Harm
• Leadership training - understanding management is accountable for safety
• Evolutionary: Procedures  engineering solutions  people’s choices
• Complemented with Safe Act Observations and other engagement programs
• Safety became a part of what we do – cultural shift
“The standard you walk past … is the standard you just set”
Safety initiatives
• Visual management
• Physical exclusion zones
• Traffic management

Personal choices
An activity at the
Safety day was for the
children of employees
to create a hand print,
which was then
displayed in the
lunchroom as a visual
reminder of why they
are working Safely.

WEMATA EXPECTATIONS
WEMATA REFLECTION
1 STOP: Take 2 - think of the hazards before
The workplace is a reflection
of me
2
starting the task; right method, right tools
2 no job is so important that we can't take the time
to do it safely
3 don't walk past an unsafe act (fix it) or an unsafe
MIRROR
condition (isolate & report it)
4 Teamwork - contribute positively, offer practical
CHOICES
3 This is how I want others to see my safety
leadership:
a) I never walk past or consent to unsafe acts with
silence.
b) I communicate clear expectations of all personnel
& safety processes.
c) I describe & provide a vision & clear path
forward.
d) I utilise the collective thinking of all personnel to
arrive at the best outcome.
e) I develop & foster a culture where all personnel
make 'the right choice'.
f) I am tenacious & uncompromising in the pursuit of
Zero Harm.
4 and I commit to work towards this
signed
solutions & encourage others to be involved
EXPECTATIONS
The workplace is a reflection of me
CONSEQUENCES
5 a place for everything & everything in its place keep the workplace tidy and free of obstacles
6 separation of people and hazards - choose to use
the walkways, workways, barriers & guards
7 stay in control - maintain physical exclusion zones
around all loading & unloading
8 any suspended load can fall - we don't put any
part of our body under a suspended load
9 safe load lifting - vertical = horizontal, hands off
load, chains min. 300mm, magnets centered, eyes
on moving loads
10 special care when feet off the ground - avoid
heights if possible - follow the critical procedure don't walk along product
11 MAX 10 - all equipment & people only at walking
speed
12 MAX 20 - maximum of 20 kg lift without JSA
13 MAX PPE - wear the correct PPE, wear it properly
& make sure others do too
14 Load Restraint - follow the guidelines, keep
families safe
15 If you are not sure, ask for assistance
These are my safety expectations for me and for my team

Challenges ahead
• Steel industry faced with many challenges
• 2011 – safety staff rationalised by >50%
• Structural changes have safety personnel independent of business operations
• Streamline use of resources – safety staff work across many businesses
• Streamline use of systems – working towards one way
• Forced to think and work smarter – become creative – ‘norms’ have changed
• Our best practice definition is:
– Simple
– Fit for purpose
– No or Low cost to implement and maintain
