Introduction

Safety in the workplace is often measured by the absence of incidents. But what if we shifted our focus to the presence of safety instead? In this compelling episode of the Enterprise Excellence Podcast, I am joined by Anthony Gibbs, CEO of Sentis and author of Positive Safety, along with other industry leaders, to explore how organisations can transform safety from a compliance-driven obligation into a proactive, people-centred practice that enhances both well-being and performance.

This episode delves into how Positive Safety aligns with enterprise excellence, the crucial role of leadership behaviours, and the importance of fostering intrinsic motivation among employees. The discussion also highlights real-world applications, particularly within BHP’s Hay Point operations, where Positive Safety principles have been integrated into the company’s broader operational excellence system.
