Over the past decade, our evidence-based approach has helped organisations improve the safety of work across safety-critical industries worldwide.
We’re down-to-earth, we put people first, and we deliver.
As safety management and organisational change specialists, we combine evidence-based research with practical, people-centred approaches.
Four ways to improve the safety of work. Useful on their own. Better together.
Tronox, a vertically integrated producer of titanium dioxide with globally diverse operations, sought to strengthen SHE performance through a strategy focused on preventing serious injuries and fatalities.
Forge Works partnered with Tronox to develop its long-term Safety, Health and Environment strategy utilizing the Blueprint framework, then supported implementation through Safety Futures training for safety teams and frontline supervisors.
The result was clearer strategic direction, stronger internal capability, and a solid foundation for building resilience across its operations.

Jemena is an owner-operator of energy infrastructure, including electricity distribution and gas networks. Jemena wanted to review its safety management approach and identify opportunities for improvement.
Partnering with Forge Works, Jemena undertook an organisational assessment using the Blueprint framework, identifying several opportunities with a particular focus on risk management. We delivered pilot programs across Jemena’s distinct business units, each operating under different regulatory requirements.
The result was more aligned risk management practices, a more consistent approach to risk analysis, reduction and assurance, and stronger visibility of safety performance through meaningful leading indicators across the organisation.

Perenti Group is a global mining services company operating across 11 countries. With a targeted focus on operational learning and improvement, Perenti partnered with Forge Works.
Over a multi-year process, Forge Works delivered normal work studies, learning teams training, safety leadership capability uplift, executive workshops and a global rollout of Hiviz safety software to strengthen how safety was understood, coordinated and improved across the business.
The result was clearer leadership alignment, stronger coordination across distributed safety teams, and better operational insight to support local improvement and close the gap between work as done and work as imagined.

Yondr is a developer, owner and operator of hyperscale data centres. With rapid growth across regions and teams, Yondr wanted to align and simplify its approach to safety.
Forge Works partnered with Yondr to redesign and rewrite its enterprise safety management system, creating a more focused and aligned foundation for the business. We then supported Yondr to look beyond the system itself.
Through a Safety of Work survey and one-on-one interviews across global sites, we built a clearer picture of how safety was experienced in practice and where the greatest opportunities for improvement existed. The result was a stronger understanding of work and a clearer global pathway for safety improvement.

Linfox engaged Forge Works’ specialist knowledge to reshape our approach for assessing and managing critical risks. The Forge Works team did a terrific job in adapting to ensure relevance with the types of risks that we manage every day. Over a short time, the team developed a greater understanding of risk causation and how different tools such as a bow tie assessment can be used. We are grateful for the help they have provided.

We engaged with Forge Works to help declutter our management system. The team provided clarity and simplicity to what can be complex and complicated systems. Our HSQE management systems are now structured for both present and future growth. I’d highly recommend any company looking to do the same to reach out to the team.

The Forge Works map has played a big part in the transformation of our business. It highlighted the initial areas of focus that would make a true reduction in frontline risk. Through the addition of the survey tool, it’s enabled all employees to give direct feedback and to help guide our strategy towards being a more resilient organisation. It has also highlighted that we are on the right track in improving organisational learning and the safety of work. The team at Forge Works have been a sensational support throughout the process.

Safety Futures successfully delivered a customised version of its Advanced Safety Professional Practice program to Amazon. This further enhanced our commitment to positively impacting day-to-day operations. What we learned will help the team further strengthen its ability to influence safety improvement initiatives. Perhaps one of the best things about the program isn’t just what we learned but how much we actually enjoyed engaging in the program.

We decided to go with the Forge Works Map as it aligned with contemporary theories of safety and where we are moving towards as a business. The whole survey process from pitch, engagement, planning, conduct and results was so easy and seamless compared with other assessment tools I’ve used in the past. I’m looking forward to being able to compare our changes over the coming years and working with Forge Works to help gather more real feedback from our employees to help assess and improve our safety of work.

The Safety of Work Podcast

The Latest Podcast Episode.

Ep. 135: Is speaking up always a good thing for safety?
In this episode, Drew and David examine workplace communication dynamics through Amy Edmondson and Anita Williams Woolley's 2021 paper "Reflections, Voice and Silence in Workplace Conversations," published in the Journal of Change Management. The discussion challenges the simplistic assumption that speaking up is always beneficial for safety, introducing a four-quadrant framework that distinguishes between productive and unproductive forms of both voice and silence. The hosts explore how withholding, disrupting, contributing, and processing behaviors shape meeting effectiveness and organizational safety outcomes.
