To facilitate the vision of becoming The World’s Most Admired Oil Service Company,Petrofac embarked on an engaging programme to cultivate the safety behaviours of its future leaders.Targeting the 2013 graduate intake to the company’s prestigious graduate learning and development programme based in its Sharjah Academy headquarters,the safety programme aimed to focus on learning,innovation and action: Using learning to shape what we do and improve. Doing things differently(innovating)to be more effective. Demonstrating what we’ve learned and taking the lessons forward through action–changing our behaviours. This paper describes the elements of the programme,why it was developed and how it was delivered. It is presented with source material and interactive ideas for others to model and utilize in their leadership programmes. The programme was structured into two phases;establishing the Foundations and Readiness for Site, with the latter delivered six months later to consolidate the foundation elements prior to graduate engineers being mobilised to site. Ideas were drawn from diverse sources such as TED Talks,Malcom Gladwell’s The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference,Simon Sineck’s Start With Why:How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action,and W2 Training(who run safety leadership programmes for Petrofac). Learning modules included: Leadership–introduction to Petrofac Leaders’Guide to Safe Operations,developed to provide thoughtful and structured advice on the behaviours to adopt for effective safety leadership. Culture-exploring the importance of organisational,cultural and behavioural aspects of safety management. Hazards,Tools and Rules–worksite hazards and risk assessment processes,HSSE tools, Petrofac’s Golden Rules of Safety,and a simple model for effective intervention at site. A case study pulls together the programme elements through review of a major accident. The programme concludes with a call to action through the development of‘Keystone Safety Habits’, with the hope these promote other aspects of the graduates’safety behaviours and build momentum to fuel transformative change in the company’s safety culture.
