27 February 2025

Implementing and sustaining BOS at Mt Arthur and NSWEC required specialised expertise in BOS coaching and training to complement existing internal capabilities. By engaging Rarekind People through the Local Buying Program, BHP found a solution that not only addressed this technical gap but also strengthened connections with local suppliers.

With extensive experience in workforce capability building and a deep understanding of BOS, Rarekind People provided expert coaching, training and deployment support. Their involvement ensured a smooth integration of BOS into operations without disruption, helping to enhance workforce skills and overall site efficiency.

This collaboration has led to increased BOS training completion rates, fostering a more skilled and safety-focused workforce. By embedding continuous improvement into daily operations, production disruptions have been minimised, strengthening overall operational efficiency. The partnership with Rarekind People reinforces BHP’s commitment to supporting local expertise and building long-term supplier relationships, further embedding the Local Buying Program into site operations. Additionally, this initiative has contributed to sustainable workforce development, enhancing the capability of teams at Mt Arthur and NSWEC and ensuring a strong foundation for future success.

By leveraging the Local Buying Program, BHP continues to drive impactful solutions that support business needs while creating opportunities for local suppliers and strengthening regional supply chains.
