The challenge

Rolls-Royce recognised that the process safety hazards throughout its operations carry unique risks that were sometimes not fully understood or considered at every step in the value chain.

The outcome

The workshops are being delivered to leaders at every process safety site across Rolls-Royce during 2025.

Our solution

We worked with Rolls-Royce’s process safety experts to develop a leadership workshop that engaged leaders across the business in understanding how their decisions and actions can influence process safety outcomes. The interactive workshop explored a fictional incident investigation, brought to life with videos of actors playing witnesses who testified about the events leading up to the incident. Participants identified missed opportunities to prevent the incident and the sequence of decisions made by colleagues across different functions that contributed to the event.

The workshop introduced the bowtie as a living tool to help leaders understand and test the strength of controls in place to manage process safety hazards. And focused on how their behaviours directly impact the behaviours of colleagues who are working with process safety hazards every day.
