1 Day Program
Imagine a single day that transforms the way your organisation lives and breathes safety—a transformation where every team member, from top management to the front line, achieves 100% buy-in on your company’s safety message.
This isn’t just another safety program, it’s a powerful journey led by industry icons Theo Venter and Ken Roberts, designed to awaken a culture of proactive safety and high performance.
Through Theo’s compelling survival story and Ken’s dynamic safety culture insights, your team won’t just understand safety—they’ll embody it. Prepare to see a permanent shift that embeds safety at the heart of your organisation, all in a single day.
Sitewide Keynote Presentation
Theo Venter kicks off the session with his gripping story of surviving a 22,000-volt electrical accident, powerfully illustrating the hidden dangers of a convenience-driven culture. As the only man to endure 1200 amps of electricity through the heart and live to tell the tale—enough energy to kill 50 head of cattle—his experience resonates deeply with teams, underscoring the critical importance of personal accountability in workplace safety. There won’t be a dry eye in the room!
Ken Roberts then steps in briefly to demonstrate how small but impactful shifts, such as incorporating reminders about the “Lure of Convenience” into pre-shift meetings, can amplify safety practices in the field exponentially.
Through this interactive and engaging approach, Ken and Theo immerse the audience in the Convenience Kills philosophy, embedding a Keystone Philosophy that consistently achieves 100% buy-in. In over 16 years, not a single person has ever responded, “Oh, I don’t believe that.” Not once!
Safety Engagement Exposé
After the keynote presentation, when work teams return to their tasks, Theo will personally engage with your crews as the ultimate site “Safety Ambassador.” This is an opportunity not to be missed, as Theo’s rapport with workers is unparalleled.
Ken will then invite your leadership team to stay behind for an exclusive safety discussion, offering a deep dive into critical safety and performance issues that often go unnoticed.
Drawing on a combined 65 years of industry experience, Theo and Ken facilitate open conversations with both work teams and leaders, uncovering deeply rooted challenges and providing valuable insights into the key factors influencing safety and culture.
Theo gathers candid feedback from the workforce, revealing the frontline perspective, while Ken leverages his extensive global industry experience to assess the company’s safety engagement levels. Together, they use fun as a gateway to meaningful engagement, driving lasting cultural change.
A Tour of Engagement
Ken and Theo maximise their on-site impact by gathering diagnostic data while meeting with key management and personnel to address department-specific challenges. They engage with supervisors and leaders across the site to gauge morale and uncover barriers to engagement.
The rapport built during earlier presentations fosters openness and honest communication, allowing Ken and Theo to gain authentic insights into your organisation’s safety culture through structured yet informal conversations.
In addition, Ken and Theo will review company data and statistics, seeking insights into past performance and current safety documentation and systems.
“You will receive a fully comprehensive diagnostics report, coupled with genuinely helpful recommendations and insights that fine-tune your approach and secure authentic buy-in for your safety systems.”
Final Discussion on Findings
At the conclusion of all site engagements, Ken and Theo hold an informal wrap-up session with your management and leadership teams. During this meeting, they share immediate insights and actionable recommendations that can be implemented right away, providing an early starting point for cultural transformation—well before the final report is delivered.
This one-day program is truly transformative. From the gripping opening with Theo’s powerful story to the interactive sessions, the entire day leaves a lasting impact on both teams and leadership. By addressing deeply ingrained cultural and safety challenges head-on, people walk away with a heightened sense of accountability and ownership.
The combination of real-world experience, practical insights, and engaging dialogue ensures that the lessons learned resonate long after the day is over, driving sustainable change throughout the organisation. This isn’t just a day of training—it’s the beginning of a cultural shift that leads to lasting safety improvements and a more engaged workforce.
