Australia’s Fusion Safety has officially launched its flagship Accelerated Cultural Transformation (Safety) – ACT(S) program in India, in partnership with top Indian safety solutions provider NIST Global.
The Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), praised the move as a major milestone in strengthening the Australia–India skilling partnership. “We are proud to support Fusion Safety in its strategic expansion into India,” Austrade stated, highlighting the company’s nearly two decades of experience in delivering safety transformation programs across high-risk industries.
Fusion Safety’s entry into the Indian market follows early engagement during the Australia–India Skills Mission 2024. The partnership with NIST Global marks a pivotal moment for both countries in advancing the objectives of the Australia India Future Skills Initiative and the India Economic Strategy to 2035.
Launched with the goal of fostering trust-based, high-reliability teams, the ACT(S) program focuses on cultural change as the foundation for safer workplaces.
Fusion Safety CEO Craig Docherty and Director of Corporate Operations Nabil Zainol attended the launch alongside Indian industry leaders, signalling a united commitment to transforming safety through human-centred approaches.
“The energy in the room was undeniable,” said Fusion Safety in a follow-up statement.
“This launch was a declaration that the future of safety in India is ready for something deeper, stronger, and more human.”
NIST Global, which delivers safety training and consulting services across India and internationally, will be Fusion Safety’s key implementation partner in rolling out ACT(S) nationwide.
As Australia and India deepen cooperation in the skilling sector, the Fusion–NIST collaboration is being viewed as a model of innovation-led partnerships that have real-world impact — protecting lives and enhancing safety standards across industries.
