Tinny Time – 2024 Wrap Up

We’re excited to celebrate the 2024 divisional winners of our Tinny Time program! 

Every day, positive safety moments shape the way we work on our projects, and Tinny Time continues to be an excellent way to acknowledge individuals who consistently champion safe practices. 

Since its rollout across our division, Tinny Time has spotlighted some incredible efforts. Join us as we reflect on the standout moments and celebrate the highlights from 2024! 

Tinny Time moments include things such as: 

• Helping out – giving a hand to a workmate   

• Checking in – asking a workmate are you OK?  

• Speaking up – raising a concern with a teammate   

• Owning it – receiving and acknowledging feedback in a positive way    

Winners: 

• Eugene Mathews on OreBody32 - Speaking up. He stopped a truck from delivering pipe after observing that it was not going to clear a mound in the road. He contacted his supervisor to reassess the task. Experts assisted in the risk assessment and change management process. A safe process was developed and documented and the task was executed safely. 

• Mark Doherty, Ore Body32, Helping out and Checking in. Mark goes above and beyond when setting up his work area every morning with correct barricading and signage. He inspects the work area for new hazards in the area. Mark looks after everyone in his crew, checking if they’ve enough water to drink or need to stop for a shade break.  

• Sandy Kelly, Talison’s Chemical Grade Plant 3 (CGP3) -Helping out, taking control and administering first aid to a fellow workmate. 

• Fraser Hall, Crane Services, Helping out - managed to get a 6t concrete slab at the top of a very steep gradient. Fraser was a franna operator. 

• Raymond Fowles, Chevron Jansz project, for Speaking up when he observed an unsafe work practice (carrying a load of material down a stairway without three points of contact). He utilised the crane to lift the load safely to grade. 

• Paul Cleland, with Alevro on Pluto Train 2 project, for Speaking up. He noticed another operator using the power pack controls to move unladen self-propelled modular trailers into position and asked the operator to stop. Paul suggested that the use of remote control is safer under these circumstances, allowing more precise communication and a better field of view. 

• Steven Green, Chevron Jansz E&I, Helping out – he noticed a teammate using a platform ladder in a non-ergonomic position and took the initiative to have a conversation with the teammate. He also assisted in repositioning the ladder to reduce the risk of injury. 

• Joshua Wood, Kemerton, Helping out noticed setup could be improved with first aid and eye wash stations at the job site. He also enhanced the fencing and organised a sea container for storing bolts and tools.  

• Galbadrakg Lkhavagdorj, Mongolia MHS2 for Speaking up. He observed a worker about to enter the drop zone and called out to stop him. The worker was directed to a pathway around the drop zone.  

• John Crone, Solomon, for helping out a coworker needing medical care, assisting him while arranging treatment. 

• Caroline Fleay, Kemerton - Helping out. Caroline is positive and offers help to others without being asked. Caroline's work cleaning and housekeeping goes unheralded but her team appreciate it. 

As we gear up for the year ahead, we look forward to seeing even more Tinny Time nominations and continue celebrating the team’s exceptional efforts.
