Swire Oilfield Services - safety magic - a Case Study

Swire Oilfield Services were delighted to welcome international magicians “Fifth Dimension” to our Aberdeen base.

Throughout four, 45 minute sessions, staff were wowed by their safety messages delivered through the medium of magic. Key, thought provoking safety messages were delivered through close interaction and audience participation.

The key message we asked them to convey were:

• Safety Leadership and engagement.
• Team work.
• Positive safety interventions.
• Hazard reporting.
• Looking out for yourself and your colleague.

All of us should be leaders when it comes to safety
