Create, interdependent safety behaviour across multi functional and contractor teams.
Safety and productivity are the highest priority items for managers and frontline leaders in mining across Australia. Whilst a lot of organisations excel at creating safe behaviours across internal project teams, those same behaviours and relationships are hard to extend across multi-functional and contracting teams – especially during high intensity times such as shutdowns and planned outages.
Front line teams need the tools and strategies to be able to promote greater interdependent team safety behaviours and advance performance regardless of the team composition and other external factors.
The Step Up Together program is designed to provide frontline teams with the tools and skills they need to create a high safety and performance driven culture when partnering on site – so that a one team approach to both safety and performance is prioritised.
Real Outcomes.
Measurable Organisational Impact.
As a leader, navigating this kind of uncertainty and change can seem impossible. You don’t know where the next few weeks or even days are going to take you, and on top of that, your team is looking to you for the stability and direction that you may not be able to provide.
MODAL has focused on team alignment and culture for decades, partnering with BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, and others to strengthen culture since 1993. Our approach includes:
Everything you need to know before enrolling in our courses.
No. It’s leadership work aimed at safety behaviour, so it sits alongside your existing safety training rather than replacing it. We work on how leaders set expectations, how crews speak up, and what happens between your people and your contractors.
Most safety issues that reach an incident were visible to someone earlier who didn’t raise them. The work targets that gap: psychological safety, how leaders respond when something is flagged, and whether people at the front believe it’s worth speaking up.
Yes, and that’s usually where it matters most. Safety behaviour tends to break down at the boundary between your people and everyone else on site, so we work across both rather than only inside your headcount.
Transport, mining, utilities and local government, including work with Transdev, Metso and Western Power. Our consultants have worked in operational environments, so the examples come from real sites.
We agree the measures with you at the start, usually a mix of what you already track and a culture measure taken before and after. With Transdev, workers’ compensation costs fell and safety improved over the two years of the work.
