While many organisations in high hazard industries have been able to achieve improved injury and incident safety performance, they have found that a corresponding reduction in low frequency / high consequence events – especially those leading to serious injury or fatality -  have not been achieved.
 
At Russell Consulting International – we are actively working with our technology and global industry partners to deliver best practice capability to those organisations in high hazard industries such as Mining, Energy, Forestry, Construction, Transport, Steel and Heavy Manufacturing. We have specifically found that 

• Occupational fatalities are not improving at the same rate as recordable injuries 
• Fatal work injuries are increasing more among older workers 
• Fatal work injuries are rising in the category of “being struck by…” 
• Fatal falls are sharply rising - e.g. working from ladders

 
The causes vary and the challenges are complex, including the recognition that the value for identifying and removing risk may not be clearly evident across the culture of an organization – specifically where that culture isn’t capable of recognizing risk exposure as a likely root cause.
 
We can provide a confidential review and assessment of low frequency / high consequence risks in your organization. Please call us directly on +61 (3) 9696 3166 for a confidential discussion or feel free to register your interest by emailing us at
