Safety consultancy Optimus Seventh Generation has secured three international contracts valued in excess of £300,000, with clients including Singapore-based COSL Drilling Pan Pacific.
The Aberdeen-based firm said the contract wins will see the firm exceed last year’s £5.8million turnover and add 10 staff to its team of 40.
Optimus advises its clients on implementing “behavioural change”.
Its safety coaches will be working offshore Indonesia and on seismic vessels in Australia, West Africa and South America as well as designing a safety management system for use in Kurdistan.
Optimus Seventh Generation chief executive Derek Smith said: “The recent wins are a fantastic start to the year.
“The Indonesian contract with new client COSL Drilling Pan Pacific involves our consultants visiting the drill rig to conduct a ‘Culture of Care Diagnostic’ by observing workplace behaviours.
“This process will allow us to provide an evidence-based assessment of the safety culture and, together with the clients’ team, our safety coaches will develop an intervention plan focusing on what needs to be done to add value and implement real and lasting change.”
The company, founded in 2003, moved into a purpose-built training facility in Aberdeen two years ago. In 2013 it trained more than 3,000 delegates.
As a result, it has launched a series of open courses and an e-learning programme.
