health and safetyOrganisations today face complex and evolving health and safety challenges.
Embedding a strong safety culture so that safe behaviours become second nature is not easy. Leaders need their people to make safety a genuine priority – but employees are often bombarded with safety messages that lose impact over time.
At the same time, diverse and dispersed workforces mean that communications must be clear, inclusive, and relevant to everyone.
Balancing productivity with the need to reduce incidents and protect people remains a constant pressure, as does staying resilient and adaptable in the face of new risks, regulations, and business demands.
We’ve worked with organisations facing these exact challenges. By combining our knowledge in the health and safety space with proven expertise in communications, we help businesses build stronger safety cultures, engage employees, reduce incidents, and keep their people safe.

For a taste of how we approach our work, here are a selection of case studies showing our behaviour change work for health and safety.
We led Network Rail’s four-year Safe Service comms programme, building a core narrative, identity and over 150 content pieces to improve their safety culture.
Using the ADKAR model, we drove awareness, knowledge and reinforcement through targeted, psychologically informed comms. The result – 20% more safety conversations and a 17% rise in safety hour attendance.
We refreshed Network Rail’s long-standing vision with a new safety identity built on empathy and care, using simple icons to keep it human. To bring this to life, we launched the “Home. Safe.” campaign.
Through emotive films and storytelling, it shifted focus from rules to personal meaning, sparking emotional connection and reinforcing that safety is about everyone.
The Drive Safe programme tackles Network Rail’s road collision risk by engaging drivers, managers, unions and safety teams.
Focusing on alertness, speeding and distraction, it uses a distinct identity and a suite of mobile-first guides to spark inclusive, practical conversations. By consulting widely, it effectively reaches a diverse, hard-to-reach audience and helps teams share, discuss and embed safety.
