Lendlease Annual Report 2022

Our focus areas 35 Safety innovations Our people identified priorities to help improve knowledge management, reduce administrative burden and make use of technology to support effective safety management. S@l Bot Our S@l chat bot provides our people with access to safety requirements and learning materials using artificial intelligence through a query and response system that makes it easier to source a vast knowledge library. The S@l Bot can be accessed from remote locations via mobile devices. In its first 12 months more than 12,000 queries flowed through. Permit to Work Leveraging our existing Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) reporting platform, we have successfully piloted and implemented a digital Permit to Work application. The introduction of this digital approach has reduced administrative burden and improved visibility into the requirements and status for many of the high risk activities undertaken across our operations. External Learning Platform To support the capability requirements of our external partners to deliver work safely, we launched the Lendlease Partner Portal. The portal is designed to address the learning and knowledge management requirements of our supply chain partners. The platform provides non Lendlease employees access via their mobile device to Lendlease Global Minimum Requirements (GMRs) and our EHS expectations. The platform also supports the implementation of other digital tools such as the Permit to Work module. Excellence in innovation Our goal is to keep people safe, and we do this by challenging how we work and continuously looking at ways to improve. Senior Project Engineer, David White, is doing just that through the innovative application of full perimeter screens (over seven floors on a steel frame commercial building) safety solution. David created the solution for the safe and efficient delivery of Salesforce Tower at Sydney Place, a 55 storey premium grade office tower featuring a unique hybrid structure of concrete and steel. Applying existing perimeter protection screen applications would not have met Lendlease’s GMRs, or the construction program, so David created a new system engaging Lendlease’s high rise building experts around the world, as well as numerous suppliers. The solution demonstrated our capability to provide perimeter screens, common in concrete frame building construction, to a steel frame building. The simplicity of David’s design has enabled a reduction in the risks of people or materials falling. It has reduced trip hazards and significantly reduced manual handling of components during installation. The solution is a market leading improvement with flow on benefits for all Lendlease hybrid structure projects around the world. The screen supplier has also made it available to the wider market.
