Background:
During the course of a project, attention and priorities can shift, but one thing is certain: safety results from successful projects and vice versa.
Jan De Nul Group acknowledges that proper preparation and keeping control makes all the difference in ensuring a successful project. That’s why the company conceived ‘Imagine Think Act’ (ITA) which has a dedicated website , a We Are ITA movie and regular newsletter messages to employees.
A company-wide program, ITA’s strategy is to approach culture from an operational point of view and not as a safety culture. The system is self-sustaining as long as company leadership give attention to ITA as it is about how leadership is realised, risks are handled and mistakes are responded to.
