HELPING TO INSTILL A SAFETY MINDSET IN ORGANIZATIONSFor decades, DuPont has managed countless capital projects and turnarounds in our facilities worldwide. Years of DuPont contracted experience have resulted in identifying a six-step measurement and implementation process that drives contractor safety success. With this system, your organization will understand and apply our effective contractor safety management methodologies to control and build successful contracted environments.

We help clients compile a qualified bidders list, pre-screened for safety compatibility with the organization’s operating safety principles.

Providing volumes of lessons learned, best practices and policy, we help clients craft binding documents that effectively communicate safety expectations.

This step enables clients to conduct an effective review of safety specifications in bid pre-award and kickoff meetings.

Our approach engages contract workers in the site and project safety culture, building skills, knowledge and a shared commitment to safety requirements.

We provide management system support that yields continuous improvement in system policy, procedure and safety administration.

We provide tools to capture and assess contractor performance periodically and upon contract completion.

Every day, Tata Steel manages more than 15,000 contractors at the company’s Jamshedpur site. With such a large contractor workforce often operating under their own safety rules, Tata Steel has had a significant and constant challenge maintaining the highest safety standards among its contractors.

The first step Tata Steel undertook was the implementation of the DuPont six-step contractor safety management system. These processes helped to develop a clear and well-defined roadmap for Tata Steel’s contractor safety improvement journey right from the start.

At Tata Steel, the immediate priority was to contain the injuries and fatalities. This was achieved through focused deployment of resources including:

While processes and standards provided the tools to improve work-place safety, the key to the transformational success still lies in influencing behavior and changing mindsets.

To keep motivating the Tata Steel organization, measures were taken to drive safety culture momentum including:

Between 2005 and 2007, Tata Steel implemented a variety of creative safety initiatives, including an Online Incident Reporting System to capture incidents or near-misses, so that their cause(s) could be identified, and suitable preventive and corrective measures taken.

Tata Steel received the World Steel Association Excellence Recognition in Safety and Health award in October 2009.
