Years of undertaking advances safety workshops reveals that people KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO, but they sometimes don't do it. Why? There are three main reasons:
This following 4-hour programme tackles these three issues. There is no lecturing - no slides and no theory! Extensive and detailed discussion about what is really affecting people helps them reveal why they still occasionally work unsafely and generates the courage to act.
The timetable is flexible and can be split to suit the installation's operational needs.
RESULT?
Almost immediate and long lasting improvement in safety attitudes and behaviours.

The advanced safety and communication skills workshop for Amerada Hess and our contractors was very well received. The interactive nature of the event got people involved. The idea of the pre-workshop exercise helped people to focus on just why we do things we know we shouldn't with regards to safety.
Andy Child, Well Operations Manager, Amerada Hess.
Bill,
We have had some good feedback from the eight Advanced Safety Workshops you did on our behalf with the Smedvig crews on the West Navion. This was an extensive programme with 106 participants over 9 sessions. Thanks for your flexibility in working with this schedule over the last month.

Dear Bill
The advanced safety workshops you facilitated for our drill crews were some of the most successful we have ever run. This was no easy assignment with half of our people unfortunately facing redundancy. Your non-consultant style and genuine concern helped to get very sceptical people involved and the feedback was excellent. Even better, our client was impressed with our improved safety approach and, I believe, has hired you to do similar work for them.

Thank you for your contribution to improved safety in the Greater Forties Field. The 38 Advanced Safety workshops you conducted offshore on our seven platforms were well received with 70% of the 468 participants rating them as very worthwhile or worthwhile. Your straightforward, non-lecturing approach overcame much of the scepticism often associated with "yet another safety workshop". Your flexibility in making the workshops fit platform operations was greatly appreciated. Thank you also for your recommendations, several of which have already been applied.
John Watson, Greater Forties Offshore Team Leader, BP Amoco.
Together with our safety department, Bill Robb helped Stena Drilling prepare and facilitate a series of six workshops for our offshore workforce. The objectives of these events were to improve the basic understanding of safety and encourage greater participation by all personnel in safety activities. These workshops were enthusiastically received by all attendees due in no small part to Bill's ability to keep the interest level high. A year on we are reaping the benefits of a greatly improved safety record.
Regards
I Cowieson, Operations Manager, Stena Drilling.

Your short Advanced Safety Workshops have been a great success and enjoyed by the crews of the Noble Ton van Langeveldt. Although your workshops were only a small part of our overall safety training and improvement plan we can still see the benefits in the way people communicate about safety. Many Thanks

Dear Bill
Thank you for your presentations during the above sessions in Aberdeen, which were very well received by all levels of participants. The unique approach to enhancing supervisory skills was received very positively as can be judged from the close out evaluations. Your method of interfacing earlier prepared surveys from the supervisors assisted us to provide further tools for the staff in combating incidents at the worksite. The course will compliment the Safety Leadership Workshops that we are holding with all Supervisors this year.
We look forward to contacting you in the future once our plans are completed for 2001.
Richard Curtis, Safety/ OA Manager, Diamond Offshore (UK) Ltd.
Bill,
Noble is very pleased with the work you did for us in enhancing the communication skills of our personnel and improving their safety behaviour. Not only do we notice this in the day to day acting of our rig managers and drilling superintendents, as a result of your input on the rig manager meetings, but also it did greatly assist with the turnaround in our Norwegian operations.
The Noble Al White has greatly benefited from your input. Our client has recently stated that they are the safest and most efficient team (they have 5 other rigs under contract), which is backed up by statistics. We did follow-up after your 6 workshops and most of the crew did reported significant improvements, which were mirrored by the operational and safety performance statistics.
Kind regards,
Cees van Diemen, Operations Manager (Mobile Rigs Europe), Noble Drilling.

Dear Bill
The four Advanced Safety Workshops you did for our drilling crews went down very well. The feedback shows that people have recognised the need to think even more every time they do something - especially with monotonous and routine tasks. It was helpful to get people's direct suggestions for enhancing safety even more and your style helped to get discussion going. We are acting on and monitoring progress on many of these suggestions.
Tony Meader, Drilling Superintendent, BP Wytch Farm.
