Welcome to the Safety Reps Forum!
This event is FREE to all Step Change in Safety member companies and is particularly suited towards Safety Reps and Safety Professionals from high-hazard worksites in the energy industry.
Your Voice, Your Impact.
Safety decisions matter. In this interactive event, you'll take part in a live, actor-led scenario where the choices you make determine the outcome. This hands-on experience will explore the challenge of speaking up.
In a coaching session designed to build confidence, strengthen communication, and encourage proactive safety behaviours, delegates will practise effective ways of challenging peers.
The event will also include expert insights and industry updates, including:
✔️ Missed opportunities to intervene – The Captain of HMS Endurance, which flooded during operations, shares what went wrong
✔️ Weight restrictions offshore – Why it's being introduced and a look at weight management barriers and fixes
✔️ Hidden Risks of Gambling Harm – A personal story on the impact of addiction
This is an opportunity to refine your approach, gain valuable knowledge, and make a real impact on shaping safer workplaces.
