Programme: Behavioural Safety & Coaching
MLQ Creative Solutions Ltd supported Repsol Sinopec across several offshore assets during a challenging period for personal safety.
The programme focused on behavioural safety coaching, practical safety conversations and engaging personnel at every level of the workforce. The aim was to help teams think differently about risk, personal responsibility and proactive safety behaviours.
Programme: Personal Safety & Coaching Conversations (Drama Based Training)
MLQ Creative Solutions Ltd delivered a full week of safety training for approximately 130 Veolia employees, covering the entire plant workforce.
The programme focused on personal safety, communication and coaching conversations. Using the GROW model, each group explored practical ways to improve safety culture across the site. The sessions combined drama-based training, interactive exercises, facilitated discussion and a safety auction activity, in which teams identified and prioritised the behaviours they believed would strengthen their culture.
A key part of the programme involved a live drama scenario in which actors brought different mindsets and safety behaviours to life. Delegates were able to question the characters, explore the decisions being made and redirect the scene to test how more effective conversations could lead to safer outcomes.
The programme generated high levels of engagement across the plant, with employees continuing to speak positively about the training months after it was delivered.
Site leaders used the learning and staff feedback to develop clear action plans for senior leadership, supporting practical improvements in safety culture and communication.
Programme: Incident Free Workplace
MLQ Creative Solutions Ltd was invited to speak at and support a number of conferences throughout the year, promoting the principles of an Incident Free Workplace (IFW).
The Programmes covered:-
Coaching
Leadership
Behavioural Psychology

Programme: Safety Leadership & Culture
MLQ Creative Solutions Ltd designed and delivered a practical safety leadership and culture programme focused on helping leaders and teams think differently about risk, behaviour and everyday safety performance.
The programme explored the science of the mind, habit formation, safety culture maturity, psychological safety, coaching, communication and motivational feedback. Participants were encouraged to reflect on how people think, make decisions and behave at work, and how leaders can influence safer outcomes through trust, effective communication and practical coaching.
The programme was delivered at the Khor Mor plant in Iraq.

Testimonials
“MLQ have worked with John Paul Construction over the last 6 years developing our Worksafe – Homesafe behavioural safety programme and training safety advisors to deliver onsite inductions. The trainers ability to engage with people at all levels and their knowledge and expertise in the area have been instrumental in the successful roll out of the programme. Mark was available throughout the period to provide advice and backup which has been invaluable. We hope to continue our excellent working relationship with MLQ Creative Solutions well into the future.”

“MLQ Creative Solutions have supported many of our engagement days, delivering a short insights to the world of behavioural psychology and safety. Mark spoke with great energy and humour which connected well with our teams. MLQ were a pleasure to work with in both the planning and delivery phases, taking on board our corporate messaging without losing the impact of his own messages. I would have no hesitation in recommending MLQ to any company seeking a perspectives on behavioural safety”.

“I've worked with Mark Allan for many years and would highly recommend him. Mark is an engaging and innovative culture and safety coach with a deep understanding of risk, human behaviour and organisational culture. He is an excellent presenter who connects with people at all levels, and his sessions are always practical, thought-provoking and well received. Teams genuinely enjoy working with him and consistently value the impact he brings.”

Mark had the whole room in thrall almost immediately. We had a mix of skeptical personnel and those embracing training. All were totally fixated within the first 10mins of the day starting. Mark very cleverly had people engaging complex mind/body exercises with most like me unable to achieve complex movements due to the way my brain is wired. We followed this train of thought into practical applications on leadership and individuality. The whole room was bursting with ideas and opinions with Mark drawing out answers. As a manager responsible for the training I hesitantly asked for feedback from over 100 personnel and it was stunning!! He was a hot topic in the most positive light. There was laugher, moments of tension…a true journey. The problem we now have is when he returns how do we limit numbers?

MLQ came on board to work with my team back in 2020 and they continue to support me to this day. At the time they helped develop and launch a behavioural safety program and were instrumental in building our safety culture. Mark in particular has a remarkable talent for speaking with people at every level of an organisation and getting the best from them. His ability to help you see through a challenge and come to a solution is what makes him a valuable support. As a training organisation, they are a pleasure to deal with and I am excited for the next adventure with them.
Grace Kelly Director, National Broadband Ireland
Mark is a true people person. He has the ability to make people think differently, which inspires them to behave differently. He is a powerful influencer and an exceptional public speaker.
The first time I heard Mark speak at a health and safety conference, I was so inspired by his message that I felt compelled to go and speak to him afterwards. Mark is also a gifted story teller. His stories are powerful motivators which connect with people on a deeper level and leave a lasting impression.
He can relate to people at all levels within an organisation. He understands how to engage, motivate and influence both individuals and large groups of employees. Mark has a great understanding of company culture and what it takes to make meaningful change.
His people centred approach encourages employees to truly take ownership and make positive changes for themselves and their organisations. And he is an absolute pleasure to work which makes everyone’s job easier.
