Improved Health and Safety Outcomes for your People
SCG understands that delivering good health and safety outcomes for people involves effective collaboration and good stakeholder relationships. Reconciling these elements to ensure that health and safety is integrated into your business can be challenging.
SCG advocates that constraints relating to operational elements of a business must be confronted head on to enable a pragmatic conversation about solutions for health and safety. We have learned that this approach will be complimentary to the operating environment of your business enabling solutions to become integrated.
It is not possible to eliminate all hazards. A balance must be found where controls that are reasonable and practicable can be selected (based on the operating environment) to maximise safety outcomes for people and to work within the constraints of the business. SCG understands the nuanced nature of this balance and can work with you to simplify its components.

SCG subscribes to the following simple principles to deliver health and safety outcomes for its clients:
The best ideas exist in the minds of the people doing the work.
Questions help to identify ideas. Ask people questions about their work and they will share their ideas about how work can be improved.
An evidence base enables data-driven (and defensible) decisions to be made by those with executive oversight. Prevention is preferable to cure.
People must first be enabled before they can be held accountable.
Good health and safety should be simple and intuitive – if it’s too complex, it’s probably too complex!
Factors relating to the design and management of work are becoming increasingly more recognised as having a significant impact on physical safety and mental health. These psychosocial elements of work are becoming more heavily regulated, and requirements more frequently enforced.
Successful management of psychosocial risk often involves close collaboration between People & Culture/Human Resources professionals, Workplace and Employee Relations professionals and Training & Competency professionals. SCG is well placed to advise on navigating psychosocial risks and integrating them into a broader governance framework across different disciplines.
Governance & Assurance
The setting of objectives and visibility of how these objectives are being met is a hallmark of good governance for health and safety.
Visibility of performance and a rolling program of data-driven decisions enables those with governance obligations to rely on a demonstrable framework to consistently improve health and safety outcomes for people.
SCG advocates that when a demonstrable and repeatable governance framework for health and safety has been implemented that the risk of harm is reduced and people are protected, operational efficiencies improve, market standing is enhanced, and compliance requirements are exceeded.
