Achieving No Harm: The Impact of Safety Training at Hatch

Hatch’s organizational goal is to achieve No Harm by putting safety first in all processes and structured systems. Their commitment to this goal is demonstrated through the Health and Safety team’s collaboration with Xpan. Together these teams are implementing a highly interactive Hazard and Risk Management course suite for their employees, contractors and partners. The goal of this suite is educating learners on safety policies, procedures, and reducing safety incident practices.

Hatch learners are taken on a journey where they identify the difference between hazards and risks, while engaging in application scenarios. The course is illustrated with animated videos, accessible language formats, and displays of detailed learning takeaways. The Conducting an Effective Observation component also walks learners through the process and importance of conducting safety observations.

Learners shared the impact this course had in all aspects of their life at the office, on-site, and at home. Here is what they said:

  • “Very helpful course in terms of understanding hazards and risks, developing a risk rating matrix and applying the Hatch five- fold process through projects planning and execution as well as on day to day tasks.”
  • “The concept of risk management is easy to understand, has very broad application and is a very useful tool to many complex projects.”
  • “This course is relevant and useful in both my work and personal capacity.”


In addition to improving the learner experience for Hatch stakeholders; Hatch has maintained its total recordable injury frequency rate of 0.05 which is below the Construction Industry Institute 10th percentile of 0.12.

“We are truly thankful to share this award with the Hatch Health and Safety team,” says Ron Thiele, President and Founder of Xpan. “Together, we focus on building an effective learning culture by immersing their team in knowledge experiences to create a sustainable impact on their daily responsibilities.”

“The Xpan and Hatch creative team have worked very hard to create high impact learning assets that can improve the environments in which we work,” says Dan Welshons, Global Director, Hatch’s Health and Safety. “It’s an honour and privilege to be recognized for this effort.”

We can safely say the goal of striving towards No Harm has seen significant progress with the implementation of this course.
