Rolls-Royce: Inspiring confidence on Safety Walks
Safety walks are a fundamental activity in the global aerospace company, Rolls-Royce’s, approach to creating a high reliability safety culture. We helped ensure that leaders made the most of the safety walks they undertook.
The challenge
Rolls-Royce had an established safety walks programme, but leaders felt that they were not making the most of the opportunities they had to engage with the frontline on safety issues.
Our solution
We worked with Rolls-Royce to develop a simple pocket guide that focused on the key hazards leaders should be aware of and simplified the control standards into the essentials they needed to know.
Providing questions and prompts for them to have meaningful and natural conversations with operators to understand safety challenges and concerns and identify areas for improvement.
The outcome
The guide helped to turbo-boost leader’s confidence when undertaking their safety walks, helping to turn what is sometimes a tricky task into an easy and rewarding activity for them to do.
