Nothing’s more important than keeping our people safe, but with a very diverse team, sometimes it's hard to know whether safety messages are being understood.
Nothing’s more important than keeping our people safe, but with a very diverse team, sometimes it's hard to know whether safety messages are being understood. That's why our EHS team is making safety videos available in multiple languages.
Learning Experience Designer Modi Chen produced the videos, and sourced translators from within the business. “As someone with English as a second language, I know that technical information like safety messages can be hard to understand. Working in EHS, it was really important to me to remove all barriers to understanding them.”
The first translated video, which features Puawai Waipouri, has Chinese, Hindi and Fijian subtitles, and Modi has plans to add more languages soon. You can watch the video here.

BPC offers our partners key tools from our Protect Safety Programme, explaining effective safety leadership, and how to hold impactful interactions that contribute to a positive safety culture. The Protect Programme is based on global best practice.
Training is delivered by BPC line leaders, with support from our construction Wellbeing, Health and Safety teams.
Senior Site Engineer Clifford Dsouza talks about the BPC Foundations team’s efforts to prevent further erosion of a cliff that collapsed during Cyclone Gabrielle.
Senior Site Engineer Clifford Dsouza talks about the BPC Foundations team’s efforts to prevent further erosion of a cliff that collapsed during Cyclone Gabrielle. The project was made very complex due to the incredibly restricted site that remained after the major slip. This was originally a Design Community of Practise quickfire presentation.
Anglian Water is a world leader in reducing carbon emissions.
Anglian Water is a world leader in reducing carbon emissions. As an early starter, the big UK water utility embarked on its carbon zero journey in 2006 and is now on track to generate 45 percent of energy from its own renewable resources by 2025 and become a full net zero carbon business by 2030.
In this Spotify podcast Jon Reed and Hannah Edmond from the Water New Zealand climate change group talk to Anglian Water’s head of carbon neutrality, David Riley about the water utility’s bold approach to tackling climate change and the carbon reduction lens covering all aspects of its operation.

We’re using ‘Innovation Sprints’ to help solve business challenges and accelerate innovative ideas.
We’re using ‘Innovation Sprints’ to help solve business challenges and accelerate innovative ideas. The sprints help us to quickly come up with the right solutions in a short time.
Working together, our Operational and Environment, Health and Safety group recently took this Agile approach to help keep our people safe. They organised a sprint focused on finding an engineering solution to manage the critical risk of our people being struck by mobile plant such as excavators, rollers, cranes, etc.
In just six weeks the team scanned the globe and came up with a solution which complements our Safe Work System for People Interface Zones – installing AI cameras on plant blind spots to clearly identify and locate people who inadvertently enter into a blind spot on an operational piece of plant so the operator can take appropriate action to prevent a potential harm event.
This solution has been installed on a variety of machines and sites where the risk is the highest, with more to come!
What's next for you?
Join us and we’ll get you all set for what’s next – from the career you want to the lifestyle you’re dreaming of. The size and scale of our operations means we can offer an impressive range of opportunities across the country.
