Industries
A safety tool that ignores the industry it serves is measuring a generic problem — not yours.
SDIA™ is built on one methodology, but it is deployed against the realities of safety-critical industries. Construction, energy, manufacturing, healthcare, aviation, maritime, transport and mining each face different hazards, crews, regulators and pressures — so each gets a behaviour inventory, benchmark group and delivery model matched to the decisions its leaders actually make.
Sector matters — methodology doesn't change
A generic safety survey handed to an oil refinery and a hospital will ask both about the same things, and learn almost nothing about either. The decisions a construction project director makes are not the decisions a ward manager makes, and the barriers a drilling crew faces are not the barriers a logistics fleet faces. A tool that treats them as identical produces identical-looking reports that no one on the ground can act on.
SDIA™ keeps its methodology constant — the six-dimension model, the Lead to Inspire™ behaviour observation framework, the EDI classification and the climate scoring engine — and adapts what is measured and benchmarked to the sector. Each industry gets a behaviour inventory drawn from the master library, a benchmark group of its peers, and delivery in the languages its workforce actually speaks. The method is defensible; the content is relevant.
Where SDIA™ is deployed
Eight safety-critical sectors, each with a tailored behaviour inventory and benchmark group.
Construction & Engineering
High crew turnover, contractor interfaces and time pressure make construction safety a decision problem before it is a behaviour problem. SDIA™ maps the leadership decisions and climate factors behind safe execution on site.
Energy, Oil & Gas
Major-hazard operations with life-saving rules and permit-to-work regimes. EDI barrier analysis exposes the Impossible barriers that only engineering and leadership decisions can remove — before they become incidents.
Manufacturing
Repetitive operations, machine interfaces and shift handovers. Climate surveys detect fatigue and supervision gaps; observation isolates where production pressure overrides safe practice.
Healthcare & Hospitals
Clinical and non-clinical safety under staffing pressure. SDIA™ surfaces how escalation, handover and speaking-up behaviours respond to the decisions leaders make about staffing and workload.
Aviation
High-reliability operations with strict procedures and human factors exposure. The six-dimension model assesses decision intelligence under fatigue, automation dependency and time-critical choice.
Maritime
Isolated crews, mixed nationalities and regulator oversight. Multilingual delivery and anonymous climate surveys reach crews across language groups without linking responses to individuals.
Transport & Logistics
Distributed fleets, contractor drivers and public safety exposure. Observation and climate data combine to show how dispatch decisions, incentives and supervision shape at-risk behaviour on the road.
Mining
Major-hazard environments with ground control, isolation and blasting. EDI classification separates the behaviours a worker can change from the barriers only engineering and leadership control.
What stays constant
The sector adapts the content; the methodology behind it does not bend.
One methodology
The Lead to Inspire™ behaviour library, six-dimension model and climate scoring engine stay constant — only the behaviour inventory and emphasis are tailored to the sector.
Industry behaviour libraries
Each sector gets a relevant behaviour inventory drawn from the master library, so observers assess the activities that actually happen on their sites.
Sector benchmarks
Benchmark datasets are maintained per industry, so a construction client compares against construction — not against an average of unrelated sectors.
Multilingual reach
Multinational workforces access assessments and climate surveys in their own language, with translation validation and RTL support where required.
