8 Tassal Sustainability Report <strong>2015</strong>
Message from Ian Miles Head of Safety “We are extremely proud to say that all our safety goals were achieved in the year of review.” Our focus this past year has been to continuously improve all safety programs and processes. As with previous years, we never leave good enough alone. It has become our habit to continuously seek opportunities to refine, simplify and improve the way we go about doing the job safely. Good to great is truly alive and well in our spirits. Tassal continues to focus on our Zero Harm safety goals. While some might argue a Zero Harm goal is idealistic or unrealistic, we have defined exactly what it means to us here at Tassal. This is important to us and I believe that even seemingly unrealistic dreams can become a reality if we define them more clearly, build a pathway toward it and continue to do the daily 20 mile march in pursuit of it. We believe that once our people understand what the goal is, what they need to do to achieve it and are encouraged, motivated and driven to achieve it, just about anything is possible. We will achieve Zero Harm – of that I am positive. This was a year that was full of activity, but happily the right kind of activity. Just to mention a few good projects completed: we implemented a robust vessel safety management system; we refined our Work Health and Safety (WHS) training and induction programs to be more effective and included a one and three month check in/sign off with all inductees. These safety induction processes operate across of all our operations. I am encouraged by the positive effect this has had on our safety journey including our ever improving safety culture. Recent survey results once again reflect the continuously improving safety culture. Whilst I cannot mention all the details, I can mention that the highest engaged employee group are those with under two years’ service, which indicates that our safety induction processes are working and the step changes we have made continue to drive the safety culture toward our goals. Positively, our Zero Harm safety platform has now been extended to other parts of the business. The concept of Zero Harm for the business is taking shape and includes programs such as Zero Harm for Fish and Environment and Zero Harm for Consumers, where we care for our people, we care for our planet, we care for our product and we care for our profit. At the core of these programs are a set of values of ‘I care for’ and ‘I take care’. All Zero Harm programs have two main pillars, namely compliance (which we internally refer to as our ‘license to operate’) as well as culture (which we can refer to as how much we care and how we behave). This has driven our safety journey for the past three years and now influences all Zero Harm programs to essentially achieve Zero Harm for the business. We are extremely proud to say that all our safety goals were achieved in the year of review. As you might imagine, the summary of topics included in this sustainability report are a mere fraction of Tassal’s WHS program, so too the achievements and the good work that occurred as a result of the effort of the good people that work for Tassal. I cannot express my gratitude enough to the entire Tassal team that has rallied behind our safety vision and shared in the effort and achievement of our safety goals. As with previous years, we continued to invest in our emerging leaders and again had 40 new students attend and graduate from our safety leadership program. This program, in its third year, focuses on building an ever growing team of resilient safety leaders. At Tassal we believe that safety is everyone’s responsibility, and, as such, embarked on a journey to create an interdependent workforce that cares for, takes care and is safety focused and will be involved in developing interdependent onsite teams. Each year we invest in our leaders, equipping them with skills to become part of the guiding team to realise our Zero Harm goals. Again this year we succeeded in presenting this course and we had a 100% completion rate. Enjoy reading through the snapshot summary of a few criteria in the safety pages of this report. I can only hope you come and meet a Tassal employee somewhere in the community and you will see for yourself that we are different. My dream is that you see our nature, that we care for and take care not only for ourselves, but for each other, you included, our planet, our communities, our product and ultimately our Tassal.
