Creating a Mindful Organisation, utilising a case study of the Gretley Coal Mine disaster, examines why organisational culture is one of the key reasons why companies fail to recognise the warning signs prior to workplace accidents. It covers the areas of high reliability organisations, group think, reporting systems, culture of denial and collective mindfulness.

Andrew Hopkins provides critical insights and lessons on the cultural and organizational causes of major industrial accidents. Hopkins conveys simple yet powerful messages that help people understand the complexities and interconnecting components of HSE management systems. His work and research revolving major industrial accidents is timely, significant, and practically relevant to the petroleum industry today and he has made great contributions to the Occupational Health and Safety field in general. It is my hope that the petroleum industry will learn through Hopkins’ underlying message that superior safety results in safety performance is driven through mindful leadership and leadership’s commitment to learn from previous incidents.

Regarding the “Creating a Mindful Organization” DVD. We have organized several in-house briefings with our safety team as well as some frontline supervisors of Towngas as well as our subsidiaries. It is very good for enhancing safety awareness especially for our high risk operations. We have made use of the DVD as well as the training material provided for a series of safety awareness training to our new coal mine in Inner Mongolia.
