ACT(S), short for Accelerated Culture Transformation (Safety), offers a comprehensive strategy aimed at swiftly transforming your safety culture to its highest maturity level. It enables this transformation within a span of 12 months, facilitated by a tailored transformation.

The process starts with a thorough assessment of the organisation’s safety culture, examining policies, procedures, communication channels, leadership practices, and employee attitudes. This forms the basis for a tailored transformation plan developed in close collaboration with organisational leadership. Through targeted training and communication initiatives, employees are empowered to prioritise safety, supported by leadership’s unwavering commitment to fostering a culture of safety.

The ACT(S) process is made up of 4 ‘Accelerators‘, grounded in Fusion’s innovative Codebreaker OSH framework. The 4 Accelerators are:

a. Objective:

Set Executive leadership tone for
the ACT(S) program

One of the first tasks in Accelerator 1 is to engage and align leadership at the Executive and Operational Level by facilitating a combined workshop with the Executive Leadership Group and the ACT(S) Leadership Group. This workshop will clearly define the leadership challenge and expectations for the Operational Leadership Group.

Solution:

ACT(S) Fundamentals for Leaders

b. Objective:

Discover the prevailing safety culture
of each operational site or facility

This is essential to provide a basis for an appropriately tailored ACT(S) strategy. We use the Codebreaker Assessment Tool (CAT) to determine the current state of safety and health in the business / project. The CAT examines four distinct areas of a safety culture to indicate how close or far away a company is to achieving a high reliability cultural maturity.

Solution:

To ensure effective execution of the ACT(S) program, the ACT(S) Leadership Group will undertake a facilitated, 4- week online leadership course designed to unlock their collective leadership potential.
