Elevated Health and Safety Leadership
Often organisational health and safety culture is based on rules, without agility and autonomy, where psychological health is treated separately from physical safety and organisations blissfully unaware
Effective leaders are mindful, present, lead with purpose and enable high-performance. High organisational performance is supported by integrated solutions, with measurable and sustainable outcomes.
Join our 3-part webinar series designed to elevate leadership across all levels of your organisation. Learn to lead with intention, build trust, foster engagement, and drive high performance.
Since 2023, FEFO Consulting has delivered over 130 leadership training sessions with Ventia, supporting their ongoing commitment to strengthening safety leadership and culture across their teams.
Feedback from participants has been extremely positive, with many noting that the sessions were engaging, relevant, and directly applicable to their roles.
This collaboration continues to demonstrate how consistent leadership development can drive safer, more connected, and more confident workplaces.

In our Strategy for Safety webinar series, we discussed the strategic use of lead indicators by combining a statistical reliable survey with other inputs to track health and safety performance over time.
Visit our blog for additional resources, including a health and safety strategy checklist.
Last month, our team came together for a strategy day filled with open conversations, fresh ideas, and plenty of collaboration. It was inspiring to see everyone tackle challenges head-on, share honest feedback, and work together on practical solutions that will shape our way forward.
As part of this, we also applied our own approach by completing the Psychosocial Dx survey. The results placed us in the Developing category (overall score of 68), showing we have a strong foundation but also key opportunities to improve.

Forget Overdosing on KPI and Goals. Focus on This Instead…
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
Often results have very little to do with the goals and KPIs being set and nearly everything to do with the beliefs, values, practices, systems and behaviours followed.
We recently gathered FEFO team members in Sydney for a Strategy Day with a focus on adding value to our clients.
A key outcome of our day was ownership and plan to cascade company OKRs across the team. This enables team members to have clear expectations on adding value that is aligned with company objectives.

VIC – New requirements for plant and equipment incident notification
New requirements for Incident notification for plant and equipment under OHS Regulations and the Equipment (Public Safety) Regulations 2017 (EPS Regulations) commenced July 2024.
Under OHS Regulations more types of plant now require notification if there is an incident of collapse, overturn, failure, malfunction or damage that exposes a person to imminent or immediate serious risk to their health or safety. The language in the EPS Regulations is now aligned with the wording used in the OHS Regulations. These changes make it clearer when notification is required.
