Celebrating Tinny Time

We know positive safety moments are happening every day on our projects, and Tinny Time nominations are not just a formality. They are a crucial way to recognise our people doing the right thing, and your efforts in this are invaluable to our success. 

In this edition of Around the Sites, we celebrate some of our divisional winners from the first quarter of this year. It’s great to see people from across our projects doing great things and taking the time to recognise each other by nominating each other for the Tinny Time Award.

May 2024 Winner 

Steven Green 

From Chevron Jansz E&I 

Steven 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. 

June 2024 Winner 

Paul Cleland 

From Alevro Pluto Train 2 

Paul noticed another operator using the power pack controls to move unladen self-propelled modular trailers into position and asked the operator to stop. He suggested that it is best practice and safer to use the remote control under these circumstances. This allows clearer communication and a better field of view. 

Take some Tinny Time and nominate your teammates who you believe should be recognised for their contribution. Advise your supervisor during shift debriefing or re-focus sessions. 

Tinny Time moments include things such as: 

1. Helping Out – this includes giving a hand to a workmate, e.g. stopping and assisting a truck as a spotter, which needs to reverse into a tight area. 

1. Checking In – asking a workmate R U OK? If you notice changes in someone, take the time to check in on them and make sure they are ok. 

1. Speaking Up – raising an issue with a workmate, e.g. stopping the job of another work crew who is about to lift a load over someone. 

1. Owning It – receiving and acknowledging feedback in a positive way, e.g. being responsive and thanking a workmate when reminded not to enter a drop zone.
