Safety Theatre
Real people. Real stories. Real impact.
Theatre with Purpose – Transforming Safety Culture Through Drama
At Foran Consultancy, we combine over 30 years of QEHS expertise with the power of live performance to create unforgettable safety training experiences. Our theatre-based workshops go beyond slides and statistics—bringing real workplace risks and behaviours to life through compelling, authentic drama. Each session is designed to provoke thought, challenge assumptions, and spark vital conversations. Whether it’s a high-impact scene on working at heights or a moving depiction of driving complacency, our sessions leave a lasting impression—because when people see themselves on stage, they start to take ownership of their own safety. Delivered on-site, in theatres, or at hosted seminars, these workshops are ideal for construction sites, manufacturing floors, healthcare settings, and anyone driving for work.
