True North Award
Jon Murchison, McAlpine Hussmann
Jon Murchison was awarded the True North Award for transforming health and safety from a compliance function into an everyday culture that empowers people to look after themselves and each other. The judges were particularly impressed by his ability to build a consistent safety culture across a geographically dispersed workforce, creating shared ownership through initiatives such as Safety STA, Get Home Safe, the Safety Hub and regular Toolbox Talks. His work has helped embed safety into the daily rhythms of the business, increased engagement with hazard and near-miss reporting, and created a lasting culture where employees feel empowered to speak up and take responsibility for wellbeing. The judges felt Jon's leadership, influence and sustained impact exemplified the spirit of the True North Award.
“Jon Murchison is a dedicated health and safety professional, and deeply understands not only the intricacies of his discipline, but also how to build care and thought into organisational culture. Jon has made a significant mark on McAlpine Haussmann, and has made turning up to work every day not just safer, but also into a community experience.” – Judges Convenor, Regan Savage
