Message
From The MD
Ian Edwards
Managing Director, Leighton Asia, India and Offshore
Welcome to the first edition of our Strive for L.I.F.E News for 2013. This
is now our 4th year of publishing the News and I am extremely proud of
how it continues to support our Strive for L.I.F.E initiative.
In this edition of the Strive for L.I.F.E News we will be demonstrating
how our projects embrace the opportunity to educate our people on
safety awareness. With over 18,500 people on 50 different project sites
across LAIO this is an enormous challenge, however I am confident we
have the right leaders and safety culture in place to be successful.
Safety is our collective responsibility and we all have an important role
to play. Each of us as individuals need to ensure that we abide by the
safety rules that have been put in place to protect us. Whilst this may
seem straight forward it is the failure to follow these safety rules that
result in a safety incident.
My expectation of you is to follow these rules and support your
colleagues and managers to do the same. Together we can ensure
everyone’s safety and we can Strive for L.I.F.E.

From The Safety Leader
Justin Gardiner
Head of HSE, Leighton Welspun India
It is recognised that leadership is important in the
creation of a culture that supports and promotes
the strong health and safety performance of an
organisation.
It is because of this that safety has become well embedded into our
organisational culture at Leighton. We strive for an incident free environment
by managing safety in a structured and systematic way and the continually
review what we have done in the past to better control our operations in the
future. In 2012 we commenced our Strive for L-I-F-E journey in India and
strongly feel this program will further assist us in empowering our leaders to
build a culture that is aligned to our values.
We also believe that our commitment to safety and an incident-free
environment will contribute to improve operations, lower costs, and increase
productivity. Leighton is a recognised leader for safety and we firmly believe
that by continuing to challenge ourselves by setting measurable targets for
our operations, we can become a globally recognised safety leader. We are
confident we can achieve this through the commitment of all our people to
put health and safety first in everything they do.

Strive for L.I.F.E Movie and Rules for LIFE Launch
Recently Mr. Andrew Hall - Corporate HSE Manager along with Bachtiar Lewai - OHS
Manager - travelled from Jakarta to Freeport Project in West Papua, to kick off the Strive for
L.I.F.E Movie and Rules of L.I.F.E launch.
These two important initiatives were held to focus attention on Class 1 Risk management at
the workplace. The launch was held on 28 October 2012 at Freeport Lowland attended by
more than 150 people and on 14-15 December 2012 at Freeport Highland attended by more
than 200 Leighton employees and subcontractors.
Strive for L.I.F.E souvenirs and Rules for L.I.F.E Comic books were provided to the attendees.
Special quiz sessions were also held to test the understanding of Class 1 Risks and the new
Rules for L.I.F.E. The attendees recommitted themselves to Strive for L.I.F.E and promised to
follow the Rules for LIFE by signing a large commitment banner.
It is hoped this initiative will re-invigorate and further support the Strive for L.I.F.E programme,
promoting Class 1 Risk identification and application of controls at an individual level.

How Strive for L.I.F.E supports our safety management system?
In Leighton Asia, India and Offshore, the commitment from the Executive Managers can be seen through our Health and Safety Policy which
stipulates the requirement for effective application of the Strive for L.I.F.E program and the elimination of class 1 incidents.
The Strive for L.I.F.E program has become the main catalyst driving management involvement and worker participation towards this goal of
eliminating Class 1 incidents. Many actions and events through the launch of Strive for L.I.F.E program, such as mandatory Strive for L.I.F.E
training for frontline management, Strive for L.I.F.E Walks and Class 1 risk management reviews have had a significant impact to the workforce’s
perception of management commitment toward Health and Safety.
At the project level the periodical review of class 1 risks and implementation of hard controls does not only increases the assurance of the
management team but it is also a visible demonstration to the workforce. Lead indicators (or KPI) on planned Strive for L.I.F.E walks vs. actual
walks completed has also continually increased the visibility of management to “walk the talk” at project sites and provide opportunity for our
workforce to comment/ highlight on opportunities for improvements.
