In October 2025, LDN was proud to host eight delegates from Malaysia’s Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) on a behaviour based safety (BBS) experience.

DOSH has the primary role of enforcing workplace safety and health legislation, ensuring the health and safety of workers across the Malaysia. Its duties include developing and enforcing regulations, conducting inspections, investigating incidents, promoting safety awareness, and carrying out research.

LDN were honored to be chosen as one of Australia’s leading behaviour based safety (BBS) organisations to help support Malaysia in their committment to successful safety culture and leadership development across industries.

This week long learning tour included visiting Victoria’s largest infrastructure and construction project to see how BBS is led and lived in Australian workplaces, and what approaches could be adapted for the Malaysian context.

The week featured LDN’s award-winning Safety Leadership Foundation Program, giving delegates a deep dive into the principles of behavioural safety, including personal accountability, psychological safety, and risk tolerance. Through hands-on workshops, group discussions, and coaching, the delegation explored how safety can move beyond systems and checklists and into the way people lead, communicate, and make decisions at work.

A highlight of the visit was a site tour with one of LDN’s major clients Spark-NEL. Delegates saw behavioural safety brought to life on a complex, high-risk project, observing how Spark leaders use conversations to influence safe decisions and how a proactive culture supports both safety and performance.

This tour reflected the Malaysian government’s commitment to strengthening workplace safety through international collaboration, practical learning, and the application of best practice. It also provided valuable space to reflect on how key elements could be adapted for their local context.

In their feedback, a DOSH delegate said “It was a great experience working with LDN, and we gained valuable insights that will help us strengthen our behaviour-based safety (BBS) initiatives.”

LDN was privileged to support this experience and share Australia’s approach to behavioural-based safety, and the leadership practices that bring it to life.
