This document outlines a continual improvement plan for HSE (health, safety, and environment) compliance at an unnamed construction site (nRAH). It discusses implementing behavioral compliance audits to obtain 100% compliance with safety work method statements. Non-compliance will be documented and repeat offenders identified in a register for senior management review. The goal is to create a culture with safety compliance in all situations through positive reinforcement as well as enforcement for breaches. A pilot program will be rolled out using education, enforcement, encouragement, and empowerment. Compliance and incidents will be tracked over time.

1. Continual Improvement
of HSE on nRAH
Behavioural
Compliance – Driving
Change

2. Key Points
― nRAH has great HSE processes in place, safety essentials and working above the
line SWMS.
― Next goal is to obtain 100% compliance to SWMS by all Contractors & HYLC.
― To engage in behavioural safety by performing ongoing coaching with groups
are required. These discussions will be held by Project Managers, HSE
coordinators, HSR’s & Supervisors.
― Non-Compliance to SWMS documented on form, name and induction number
taken.
― Details placed on register for senior management review.
― The register for non conformance easily identifies repeat offenders.
― The site audits identify non conformance along with safety positives.

3. Key Points
― A register for positive observations exists also.
― Positive reinforcement is essential in creating a culture where safety
compliance exists in un-supervised situations.
― This template has been incorporated into other site inspections also ie;
PM/SM weekly site inspections.
― The process of taking a workers details following a safety standard breach
has an increased effect, compared to an informal reminder.

― Behavioural Compliance Audits (BCA) assess the level of compliance with
agreed safe work method statement (SWMS), WHS Legislation and site
safety rules (Minimum Standards). BCA’s are to regulate reasonable
behaviour of site personnel. BCA’s are performed as follows:
― Series or an activity will be documented using the behavioural compliance
audit form, document number HYLC-HS-REG-0148
― Engage with individual and or work group through conversation.
― To instantly target non-conformance/s, unsafe acts and or conditions.
― To instantly reinforce positive recognition to safety rules being. This will
be done by providing verbal feedback.
― Only personnel that have received on the job coaching/training from the
HSE Department are authorised to complete BCAs unless they from part
of a team with trained personnel

9. Misconduct.
― The frequencies of breaches that constitute a potential written
warning (Yellow Card equivalent) are as follows:
― 1) Any 2 breaches within a period of a month will be highlighted
and discussed at monthly Safety Compliance Meeting.
― 2) Any 3 or more breaches within a period of a month will trigger
discussions with the relevant HYLC PM and Contractor HSE/PM
Manager representative regarding the issuing of a written
warning.
― 3) The 3rd breach will only remain valid and be acted upon, in
that the 1st and 2nd breaches were issued within a 3 month period
of the 3rd breach being issued

10. Serious Misconduct
― It is the responsibility of all managers and supervisors to monitor the
behaviour of their employees and contractors. Managers will be responsible
for determining appropriate, inappropriate and acceptable behaviour in
particular to serious misconduct.
― For behaviour deemed to be serious misconduct the following procedures
will be implemented:
― 1) Removal of the person from site not less than 3 months. A written
notice issued to the HYLCJV confirming removal from site.
― 2) Subsequent access to the project will be subject to a 3 month
probationary period during which any acts of misconduct or serious
misconduct will be classified as serious misconduct
