| CHALLENGE: |
- Client needed initial Ministerial declaration of eligibility based on its competitive position with government enterprises
- Once eligible client needed a resource to manage the application and related preparatory processes
- Initial findings were that client was resource rich in OHS advisers, resource poor in claims and injury management knowledge and expertise, and was a significant under-performer
- Safety driven by governance activity
- High claims frequency
- Cost almost double what may reasonably be targeted
- Lost time injury rate had increased 20% in previous year
- Injury management provided through safety function but not actively directed or managed by the business
|
| ACTION: |
- Obtained ministerial declaration of eligibility Oct 2007
- Prepared and lodged licence application Dec 2007
- Project managed preparation
- Project managed evaluation and licence negotiation
- Proposed and rolling out change program to reduce injury and claim rates by at least 50% per annum and costs by a significant amount
- Proposed resource restructure to improve value and outcomes without additional cost
|
