CR’s unwavering commitment in our pursuit to go beyond zero harm has driven us to embark on a journey to approach the way safety is done differently within the organization.
In August 2022, we commenced our roadmap to change in partnership with Universal Safety Wellness Pty Ltd and set off on a roadshow across Australia. Engaging and empowering our people from all parts of our business to work together to strengthen our human and organizational performance.
Our roadshow started at Maryborough (QLD), followed by Goodna (QLD), Murrarie (QLD), Mackay (QLD), and Tomago (NSW), before ending at Welshpool (WA).
During our roadshow, we ran workshops and spoke about ways to challenge and do safety differently. Including questions about what motivates us and our decision-making and identifying what good looks like. According to one of our CR team members, “what good look like is CR’s future”.
Here is a glimpse of CR’s future which includes empowering our people to make safer decisions and actions.
Our People = Our Future
During the roadshow, the contribution by all was outstanding and engaging at each location.
To support our people, and build the courage to speak, intervene, and challenge. Participants in each session were able to speak honestly and be given the opportunity to be part of the case for change to support CR create and maintain an injury-free work environment.
The workshops were only the beginning of our journey and roadmap to change, and there is still much more to do and embed in the way CR does safety differently.
So, what’s next?

Checkpoints for you to look forward to include:

Remember that Together We Will Make a Difference
You don’t have to wait to reach the checkpoints to continue on your journey to strengthen your performance. Instead, remember each and every day to answer the following questions before you take part in starting your job:
- What motivates me to work safely every day?
- What is currently influencing my decision-making?
- Are my motivations, decisions, and actions a line to help keep me safe?
