What Happens to Workers When it’s Hot?

Presented by Matt Brearley (Managing Director, Thermal Hyperformance)

What’s covered?

It’s no surprise that heat-related illnesses spike during hot weather, but what about worker injuries? A growing body of evidence demonstrates that workers are more prone to injury during hot weather and this session provides a pragmatic overview of how this occurs and who’s at the greatest risk.

Driving a Positive Safety Culture

Presented by Anthony Gibbs (CEO, Sentis)

What’s covered?

Investment in safety culture is crucial. Even with the right equipment, experience and systems, if your people lack the motivation to take responsibility for their own safety, it’s not a question of if an incident will occur, but when. But in a landscape where 86% of organisational sites operate within a negative or unhelpful safety culture, how do businesses unlock the next stage of their safety culture journey?

In this webinar we explore:

• • Insights from a global research study of 21,711 participants across industry
  • The risks of a Public Compliance culture and their impacts on safety performance and discretionary efforts
  • The role of leadership in driving a culture beyond compliance
  • A practical roadmap for setting your next cultural transformation project up for success

Managing Fire Safety and Risk

Your Obligations as Asset Owners, Property/Facility Managers and Occupants

Presented by Greencap

Brad Paroz (Practice Manager – Property Risk)
Dr Chong Chee Goh (Principal Consultant – Property Risk)
Adam Davenport (Key Account Manager – TrimEVAC)

What’s covered?

Fires can have a devastating toll on businesses and communities, with far-reaching impacts. Major fire incidents in the last few years (such as Grenfell Tower, Campbellfield factory, West Footscray warehouse) have stimulated significant activity and development of fire safety, essential safety measures, and emergency management legislative frameworks across Australia.

Join us for this webinar where our Fire Safety, Essential Safety Measures and Workplace Emergency Management specialists will host a panel discussion on the current fire safety legislative environment and trends across Australia and some of the pitfalls and challenges to applying robust approaches to fire safety. The panel will also discuss emergency management plans and the practical measures that asset owners, managers and building occupants can implement to effectively protect themselves and their businesses from fire risk.

Finding What Works and Doing More of It!

How can safety professionals change the focus of their conversations and impact change fast?

Presented by Annette Gray (Director, Annette Gray Consulting)

What’s covered?

It’s a common pitfall to focus on problems rather than solutions when we have conversations at work with our peers, team members or clients and especially now in the uncertain times we live in. But what if you could be asking solution-focused questions that steer people to what is working and what they want rather than getting stuck in the “quagmire” of what is wrong?

This session shows you in action what the difference is between the two approaches and how you can form better relationships with your peers, clients, team members and even family members if you stick with a solution focus approach, especially now in a time of great uncertainty.

Critical Risk Management (CCM): A Practical Guide

Presented by Mark Alston (Director, Investigations Differently)

What’s covered?

Traditionally high-level risk management has focused on enterprise risk, recently many organisations are now focusing on high-consequence, low-frequency safety events, otherwise known as critical risk management. Implementing critical risk management can seem a daunting proposition.

• • Establishing a framework
  • Identifying critical risks
  • Facilitating workshops
  • Critical control selection
  • Critical control design
  • Monitoring critical risks

BErTHA – Four Pillars For Next-Gen WHS Management

resented by Jo Kitney (Managing Director, Kitney OHS)

What’s covered?

Traditional WHS/OHS manuals, procedures, forms, and excel spreadsheets are no match for the complexities of current-day business management. This has created demand for WHS/OHS management systems and practices that are simple, smart and integrated, to reduce silos, duplication, and bureaucracy. As we shift from the traditional approaches to health and safety, and look to declutter, improve human organisational performance, and focus on human-centric design, we need all aspects of the business to be ready and willing for the change.

This next generation of WHS management, and those working in health and safety, needs to be smart, efficient, and capable of meeting the pillars for modern and future management.

Kitney’s BErTHA model for next-gen WHS management provides a smart yet simple approach to understanding an organisation’s vision, goals, and outcomes, and using four pillars to enable WHS management, people and culture, innovation, and technology, and assurance and improvement. In this presentation, Jo Kitney provides the background to BErTHA, her origins, how the four pillars work together, and a case study of consultancy work with a client using BErTHA for a gap analysis, strategy, and improvement plan for managing health and safety at work.

Critical Controls – Safety Differently

Presented by Kelvin Genn (MD, Art of Work)

What’s covered?

In this webinar, Kelvin explores human-centred design and the principles of safety differently to build and sustain operational effective critical controls.

From Reacting to Learning – The Next Step in Organisational Effectiveness

Presented by Andy Shone (CEO, Southpac Group)

What’s covered?

What gets measured gets done, or so we believe! Today many organisations are driven by KPI’s and dashboards. The result of this often means that we focus on efficiency, getting stuff done quickly, as opposed to being thorough, i.e. being effective. This mindset appears to be increasingly driving the familiar routine;

• • Deadlines are imposed for close out of the identified issues.
  • Dashboards and reports drive action.
  • Quick fixes ensue.
  • Problems recur.

The result of all of this in the worst-case scenario is that Management Systems become a convenient mechanism for managing administrative work (safety work) without affecting the safety of work.

Einstein is reported to have said that if he only had one hour to solve a problem, he would spend 55 minutes defining the problem and the remaining 5 minutes solving it routinely. His focus was one on learning and understanding the true nature of the problem as opposed to gaining a superficial understanding and immediately instigating a fix.

Organisations need to move towards approaches that are more focused on learning and understanding. Approaches that accept the inherent complexity of the modern workplace, and in turn take systemic action to improve performance rather than falling back on simple explanations and familiar fixes.

Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) is an approach or philosophy that focuses on building an understanding of how organisations and people work together with the aim of enhancing performance. Looking at performance holistically includes all potential outcomes including safety, quality, productivity and efficiency.

The learning team method is focused on taking the time to truly understand, with the aid of frontline personnel, how work is happening and the best way to make it better.
