Beyond TRIFR: Creating Meaningful and Measurable Lead Indicators for Safety

Presented by Anthony Gibbs (CEO, Sentis)

What’s covered?

Businesses invest big in safety improvement initiatives, yet relatively few can pinpoint the positive effects of these on their safety culture. The natural tendency is to turn to lag indicators. And while not inherently bad, these measures only provide part of the picture.

Businesses who excel at safety are looking to lead metrics to not only demonstrate a clear return on safety investment, but to also better predict and prevent incidents in the workplace. Knowing where to start is often the first hurdle. The second is convincing senior stakeholders to buy into a new way of measuring safety.

Join Sentis CEO, Anthony Gibbs to explore how the best in the business track safety performance with their executive’s full support.

The Value of Self Coaching

Presented by Debra Burlington (Enhance Solutions)

What’s covered?

During this session, Debra provides some insights into how to use self-coaching as a tool for building resilience and taking care of the self. Often in a world full of busyness, we forget to take care of ourselves. In fact, not only do we not take care of ourselves, but we also become our harshest critic, often focussing on what we haven’t done, should’ve done and discounting how amazing we truly are.

This session provides some insights into the importance of self-coaching and some simple how-to tips for everyday implementation.

The Power of Human-Centred Design

Presented by Kelvin Genn (Art of Work)

What’s covered?

The first principle of safety differently is engaging people as a solution to harness, rather than a problem to control. Human-centred design is built upon this principle. For too long safety has focused on creating controls that constrain people rather than focusing on harnessing the knowledge of those that do the work.

Stanford University Design Center has crafted the ideas of user experience and human-centred design to solve intractable problems their source. This webinar introduces you to the concepts of user experience and human-centred design and how to harness them for operational safety excellence.

ISO 45001 – Worth the Wait?

Listen to Andy Holmes as he discusses the core elements of ISO45001 and how businesses are managing the transition.

 

What’s covered?

Published in March 2018, ISO 45001 became the first global standard of its kind, giving organisations a universally accepted framework for improving employee health and safety, reducing workplace risks, and creating healthier, safer working conditions.

ISO 45001 has been prepared using “High-Level Structure”. This is intended to enhance alignment among ISO’s management system standards, and to facilitate the implementation for organisations that need to meet the requirements of several standards simultaneously, for example, the already released ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015

With its ‘top-down’ philosophy, ISO 45001 also requires management and leadership to take greater responsibility for health and safety issues.

Tens of thousands of businesses around the globe are already certified, and it is expected that over 500,000 organisations will take up the standard internationally over the next decade. Join Andy Holmes as he discusses the transition to ISO 45001.
