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

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

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