THE CONTEXT
SAFETY IN DESIGN STAKEHOLDERS IN A GLOBAL OPERATION
Stakeholder model: adapted from Winch, 2010
With 40000 people, AMEC Foster Wheeler currently operate in approximately 55 countries.
THE KEY CHALLENGES FOR A DIVERSE TEAM
• The structure of decision making
• Leadership choice of direct versus indirect communication
• Misinterpretation of information (including language barriers)
• Issues with hierarchy and authority (upwards, downwards and horizontally)
• Inconsistent approaches to Safety in Design (SiD)
THE KEY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Understand the key risks (previous page) and develop action plans
• Put a team together but not just for experience but also relevant knowledge
• Have leading indicators in the communication network
• SiD to be directly linked with design change management processes to ensure
ongoing assessment and management of emergent OHS risks, and
• Last but not the least, communicate, then communicate it differently and then
make sure you have communicated!
