Eye Safety
Our eye safety initiative promotes the importance of maintaining good eye health and avoiding eye injuries in the workplace.
The Workforce Engagement Support Team (WEST) works on behalf of the workforce to spread knowledge and promote best practice in order to improve safety. It provides practical guidance to companies to help encourage and improve engagement amongst all members of the workforce, which is essential for fostering safe and healthy working environments.
The workgroup comprises individuals who represent the regulator, the workforce, trade unions, employers and industry associations, and its activities and campaigns are driven by the needs and concerns of the workforce. Engaged workers will feel empowered to raise awareness of unsafe situations, which can enhance a culture of safety at worksites.
Work scope
The mission of the workgroup is to stimulate lateral learning and best practice across the offshore oil and gas industry by involving the whole workforce, with the overall aim of improving safety.

Workforce Engagement Toolkit
Building a workforce in which everyone feels able to actively participate, share their views and free to challenge, is crucial to improving safety and reducing accidents and incidents. Through its Workforce Engagement Support Team, Step Change in Safety provides the Workforce Engagement Toolkit to help companies embed this culture in their organisations.
The toolkit allows companies to measure and improve their levels of workforce engagement at specific worksites and understand strengths and weaknesses, and develop improvement action plans.
Central to the toolkit is a unique worksite survey that asks questions around visibility, communication, involvement, support, challenge and participation. Alongside the survey, a range of supplementary information is also available to download.
WEST can use the collected information to drive focus areas, enhance best practice and continuously improve workforce engagement and safety across the UKCS.
