Keeping its crews and the community safe during the works was the top priority for Diona. During the project, Diona launched its CareFactor Program, aimed at taking safety beyond compliance and building a safety culture around trust, care and mateship. “We engaged Clive Lloyd from GYST Consulting who delivered the program to our operational leaders. We’ve seen a significant mindset shift amongst our crews and higher levels of engagement around risk management,” says Mr Willis. “Thanks to the great leadership from our site supervision and engagement with our crews at every stage, this project has been completed with zero lost time injuries.” Despite all the challenges of working within the CBD location, managing major traffic switches, maintaining access for buses and pedestrians, and managing multiple stakeholders, the works are scheduled to be completed on time. “This project is a great example of the power of engaging early with the local market and specialist engineering companies such as Diona who self-perform this work.”
