- We have poor reporting history on near misses, accidents, and plant damage and it seems that lessons are not being learned

- We’ve seen delays in product and production schedules as a result of safety issues
- We’re not carrying out periodic inspections
- The business is experiencing a high / growing number of Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) and we’ve had to reorganise shifts due to safety incidents in the last 6 months

- Performance is being measured and we are now looking to learn from events when things do go wrong
- We’re getting our documentation in good shape
- We regularly undertake safety training with our workforce
- We still struggle to get everyone in the company engaged in safety
