Twenty elements have been<br />
redesigned to 16 and significant<br />
support initiatives have been<br />
included to maximise the benefits<br />
that will accrue to the workforce.<br />
The Safety Management System<br />
Project has been elevated to a<br />
Breakthrough Action for 2011–12<br />
after consideration by our Executive<br />
Leadership Team, acknowledging<br />
the importance <strong>of</strong> the project in our<br />
safety improvement journey.<br />
Lifeguard program<br />
We continued the implementation<br />
<strong>of</strong> our Lifeguard Program, aimed at<br />
reducing the risks <strong>of</strong> an employee<br />
not being ‘fit for work’ due to fatigue,<br />
alcohol or other drugs, and in breach<br />
<strong>of</strong> our drug and alcohol policy.<br />
We are planning to roll out an<br />
agreed education program and<br />
conduct random drug and alcohol<br />
tests by June 2012.<br />
THE YEAR AHEAD<br />

2008–09<br />
Note: TRI includes measures such as medical treatment, restricted work and LTIs. 2010–11<br />
TRIs only includes incidents occurring while performing work-related duties. As at<br />
30 June 2011, 23 LTIs had been recorded; one additional lost time shift occurred<br />
during July that related to a 2010-11 incident.<br />

Good<br />
Following the mandated audit<br />
by WorkCover, our three-year<br />
Self Insurance Licence has been<br />
renewed, a result that reflects hard<br />
work and genuine commitment<br />
to safety excellence. The audit<br />
results exceeded expectations,<br />
demonstrating that we have a<br />
comprehensive understanding<br />
<strong>of</strong> our systems and confidence in<br />
our safety leaders.<br />
This year, the Health and Safety<br />
Division extended our two-day<br />
frontline leadership training course<br />
to Leading Hands. The course<br />
content included responsibilities<br />
for frontline leaders under the NSW<br />
Occupational Health & Safety Act<br />
2000, risk management and an<br />
introduction to human factors to<br />
enable leaders to better manage<br />
safety in the workplace and achieve<br />
behaviour changes.<br />
‘The Call’<br />
During 2010–11 we introduced ‘The<br />
Call’ as part <strong>of</strong> our safety incident<br />
improvement process. The Call<br />
is a method <strong>of</strong> providing incident<br />
findings to a wider audience using<br />
teleconferences. It is a discussion<br />
that takes place between the<br />
relevant line manager (incident<br />
owner), the Deputy CEO Network<br />
and GM Health and Safety, with<br />
up to 80 network managers<br />
and supervisors listening. The<br />
forum allows senior management<br />
to communicate key safety<br />
improvement expectations. The<br />
primary aim is to prevent incidents<br />
from reoccurring.<br />
Public safety<br />
Our 2010–11 Public Electrical Safety<br />
Awareness Plan (PESAP) outlined<br />
strategies to raise public electrical<br />
safety awareness. The year’s<br />
initiatives included a radio campaign<br />
focusing on preventing conductor<br />
strikes by high-load vehicle drivers,<br />
crane and excavator operators and<br />
recreational boaters. Advertising<br />
was also used to promote safety<br />
awareness in the home.<br />
<strong>Endeavour</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> also worked<br />
closely with trade events to promote<br />
tradesmen’s safety and with State<br />
Emergency Services – Illawarra<br />
to establish vital electrical safety<br />
messages to be disseminated during<br />
storms, tsunamis and floods.<br />
In September 2010 we partnered<br />
with Ausgrid in Electricity Safety<br />
Week, in which 432 primary schools<br />
in the <strong>Endeavour</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> network<br />
area (82%) took part.<br />
2011–12 Objective 2011–12 Target 2011–12 Reason<br />
• Improve safety<br />
performance.<br />
• Implement revised Safety<br />
Management System.<br />
• Fully scope safety issues associated<br />
with managing an ageing workforce.<br />
• Continue to implement the<br />
Lifeguard Program.<br />
• Enhance the safety management system<br />
by adding human factors, change<br />
management and improved reporting.<br />
• To reduce LTIs, which increased<br />
in 2010–11.<br />
• Reduce the risk <strong>of</strong> accidents caused by<br />
fatigue or drug and alcohol abuse.<br />
