It was brilliant! It was really lighthearted and set the right level. The whole point of SafeStart is its simplicity: it applies to everyone, everywhere.
Austin Cleary HS&E Manager, Allergy Therapeutics
If you go and talk to people about safety before something happens, it’s not confrontational, and you can prevent accidents from happening and, therefore, you don't have any more of the confrontations afterwards. It's pretty straightforward stuff, but you've got to put the time in up front....People are enjoying SafeStart because they understand it: it makes sense to them, it's practical, and it’s straightforward.
