Road travel is integral to WorleyParsons’ business. When the company identified that road safety was the most critical health and safety risk for its employees, it took action on both a local and global scale. The results have been immediate with the number of crashes dropping by more than a third in a year.

Key Outcomes

  • Road safety is often the most critical employee health and safety risk companies face
  • Implementing effective road safety initiatives that achieve consistent buy-in from all levels of the workforce can bring immediate results
  • The UN Decade of Action Safe System ‘5 pillar’ approach to road safety, framework available to provide effective direction for companies improving road safety
  • The ‘think global, act local’ maxim holds true for road safety for large companies. It is possible to take a global approach to road safety and still ensure programs are locally relevant
  • Internal communication programs, that take a strategic approach to introducing road safety initiatives and incorporate stakeholder feedback, increase implementation success
  • Road safety does not stop at the front gate. A focus on improving road safety in local communities has a large impact on overall road safety.
