A 1-day course designed to introduce delegates to the issues which underpin and predispose unsafe behaviour.
The approach advocated enables unsafe behaviour to be addressed proactively rather than, as is often the case, reactively. Four primary predisposing factors will be addressed in some detail. These are: poor hazard/risk awareness, design induced error potential, non-compliance with rules and procedures and poor attitudes to safety (covering workforce, supervision and management).
To provide delegates with an understanding of what factors in the workplace can predispose unsafe behaviour and provide a general approach to addressing such problems.
The course will provide a sound basis for the understanding of factors which are likely to predispose unsafe behaviour and an approach to addressing them proactively. The course will also provide information which will be of considerable value in identifying root causes during accident/incident investigation.
Anyone with responsibility or accountability for safety in the workplace. Managers, supervisors, safety professionals and safety representatives are all likely to benefit from the information and approach provided.
The course will provide a highly practical basis for increasing understanding of the psychology and human factors of safety in a way which will augment both existing proactive safety measures and accident/incident investigation.
The course is tutor led using projected slides and examples from a wide range of industrial settings. Although primarily 'chalk and talk' in order to provide the breadth of information necessary, opportunities are taken to involve the delegates throughout.
The course can also be run as a two-day in-house course with the second day devoted to practical exercises based on observation of your own operations.
