Internal weekly communication for Whitman site staff. Contains plant managers' message, operational updates from WC3 and Compounding WC4, safety reminders, people news, upcoming events and other site announcements.
This is the Whitman Weekly Brief for 28 October 2026, an internal communication newsletter for employees at the Whitman manufacturing site. It is part of the BCC Month communication series and is distributed to keep staff informed about site operations, safety and upcoming events.
The document opens with a message from Plant Manager Ben Smith, who thanks staff for their response to a recent power outage following a storm. He also mentions the FY28-FY30 Site Masterplan discussions, upcoming EHS visitors and the ongoing Breast Cancer Campaign fundraising.
A safety reminder section follows, with a short rhyme encouraging staff to stop germs, spot risks, speak up and care for others. This is part of the site's ongoing safety culture messaging.
The weekly update section covers Operations on WC3, managed by Aaron Shann, focusing on operational performance, quality, delivery and capability building. It highlights work on line efficiency, operational readiness and upcoming changes across Operations, Engineering and Training.
The Compounding WC4 update from Cat Clarke thanks specific employees who responded to the power outage, including Lee Shipman, Josh Cartmell and Nabil Bezih. It emphasises teamwork and encourages focus on Right First Time (RFT) by slowing down, asking when unsure and speaking up.
The newsletter also includes a people news section, upcoming events and other news. It reminds department and line managers to cascade the brief to their teams and invites feedback through a Site-Wide Communications Feedback and Improvement Survey.
