ESB wants to establish a culture where safety is central to everything we do, where there is a mind-set that is intolerant of incidents and injuries, where we take responsibility and care for our own safety and for those around us, where we speak up when we see something unsafe, where we choose to follow the safety rules, where we are compliant, where we implement sensible safety systems and where we take pride in our achievements.

Description of the procurement

Safety is a core value at ESB. This is reflected in the commitment to health safety and wellbeing at the highest level in the organisation from the Executive Director Team down to individual managers and staff. This commitment is crucial to improving health and safety performance across ESB and is reflected in the Safety Leadership framework with focus on the four pillars of Leadership, Competency, Compliance and Engagement.
ESB has made significant improvements in our Lost Time Injuries from 300+ per year to 37 it its lowest point, but since this has stayed stubbornly at about 50+ per year, one per week. Although our injury rate has improved over time, our staff are still getting injured at work.
ESB recognises that processes, procedures, safety management systems alone will not ensure the safety of all our staff. ESB now wants to take safety to the next level through a safety culture change programme where leadership and engagement are embedded and where everyone is aligned and committed to ensuring that ‘everyone goes home safe everyday’.
To support this ESB intend to roll out a companywide programme that will get everyone to question their own relationship to safety, their values beliefs and perceptions and to discuss these openly to move the safety conversation forward. ESB wants to establish a culture where safety is central to everything we do, where there is a mind-set that is intolerant of incidents and injuries, where we take responsibility and care for our own safety and for those around us, where we speak up when we see something unsafe, where we choose to follow the safety rules, where we are compliant, where we implement sensible safety systems and where we take pride in our achievements.
ESBs goal is to generate a world-class safety culture and environment which is sustainable over time, we want this culture change programme to have a transformational impact on safety performance and take the organisations to the next level.
Detailed scope of services and associated requirements will be provided at RFT stage to successful applicants.
ESB intention is to award the framework to a single supplier at the end of this procurement process.
