Safety Differently in Practice

Presented by Kelvin Genn, MD Art of Work

Safety has traditionally been about the elimination of negative outcomes (incidents, injuries, errors, malfunctions). While this approach has lead to significant improvements it has also produced several problematic side effects: disengagement and disempowerment of people, increasing bureaucracy, loss of innovation and productivity. Furthermore, many organisations now struggle with plateauing safety records. Some industries even experience increasing injury and fatality rates despite unprecedented investments in safety.

Over the last 5 years, a growing number of organisations and thought-leaders have developed a set of ideas and practices that help organisations to overcome the current impasse. In this Webinar, attendees will be introduced to the assumptions, principles and practices that underpin Safety Differently in Practice, drawing upon the experiences and examples for organisations that are on the journey. The webinar provides attendees with insight as to how safety differently can be enabled at the operational, functional and strategic levels of organisations. Suitable participants are managers, supervisors, technical experts, safety professionals and safety representatives.
