As team managers please lead the discussion around the following:
Positioning(2 minutes)
Lead:Explain that having watched all seven films on the seven aims of health and safety we hope everyone has a better understanding of both what we are trying to achieve and how they can contribute to delivering our aims and reaching our vision.
To see what has been learned over the past seven months we want everyone to repeat the exercise they did in module one.
Refer back to the notes and refresh memories on what the team said following module one. Read a few key points out.
Ask the team to go into the same groups and discuss the same aspect of ‘zero accidents, zero harm, zero compromise’ as they did at the beginning. There is now an extra question to consider.
Group exercise: scenarios (11 minutes)
Discuss: Split into three teams and each discuss the questions below for eight minutes (2 minutes per question). Capture notes on paper/a flipchart.
Team one: zero accidents / Team two: zero harm / Team three: zero compromiseWhat does zero accidents mean to you? / What does zero harm mean to you? / What does zero compromise mean to you?
What do you feel are the barriers to success? / What do you feel are the barriers to success? / What do you feel are the barriers to success?

After 8 minutes come back together as a larger team.
Ask someone to capture the main points from the discussion you are about to have. A combination of your notes from briefing pack session one and this session needs to be sent to along with your team name and your name as team manager after the session.
Each group will now have two minutes to share their thoughts on the questions and discuss with the wider team (6 minutes).
Seven aims(4 minutes)
Discuss: Ask the team to discuss the seven aims and what they now mean to them. Ask them if they’ve captured notes after each session and to keep their three zeros books updated. Re-enforce that while the films have all been shown, we have to keep thinking about health and safety all the time.
Closing the session(1 minute)
Lead:Encourage your teams to continue to think of ways in which they can help us all deliver the seven health and safety aims. Ask them to update their notes in their three zeros booklet before the next team meeting. Keep looking at the three zeros booklets and discussing health and safety in your meetings from now on.
