Leading Through Crisis: How to Have Supportive Conversations

Presented by Anthony Gibbs (CEO, Sentis)

What’s covered? 

We find ourselves in unprecedented times. The uncertainty created by current events, including COVID-19, has led to increased stress, distraction and anxiety in the workplace. For some, this is in addition to the recent devastations of drought, fire and flood. But what happens when workers find their stress compounding and fail to recognise it?

As a leader, it’s important to recognise when a worker may need to access support. This webinar will provide a framework to help leaders understand the difference between a team member thriving and surviving—and if they are surviving, whether they’re simply going through a bad patch or if they require extra support to manage a mental health issue or illness.

Injury Classification Differently; An alternative approach

Commonly used incident classification methodologies have resulted in adverse consequences, including over classification, poor investigation outcomes, unnecessary investigations and unsustainable workloads for those responsible for facilitating the investigation.

Listen in to Mark Alston as he discussed a practical alternative solution, grounded by statute, that will assist in improving investigation outcomes and combat the negative impact on an organisations culture from the misuse of injury metrics.

Heat Hangover – the heat-related illness affecting your workforce

Heat stress surveys within a range of Australian industries have identified fatigue, irritability, headaches, cramps and nausea as common outcomes of working in hot conditions ^1,2. Workers indicated that such symptoms would not prompt them to seek medical treatment and are generally not reported, as symptoms developed towards the end of, or following the work shift and are self-treated. Both the type of symptoms and the latency between exposure and symptoms, parallel those of an alcoholic hangover. Hence, we use the term ‘heat hangover’ to describe these symptoms, with the term gaining acceptance within a wide variety of workforces.

Heat hangovers impact the post-work setting through negative impacts on sense of well-being, sleep, appetite and family relationships, while workers that frequently report heat hangover symptoms are more likely to limit not only work rate, but also their quality of work ². Aside from the productivity issues, the impact of heat hangover symptoms on vigilance, decision making and execution of physical skills are areas of interest. Negative impact on these factors may explain the prevalence of workplace accidents in the hottest months of the year ³. This session will detail the impact of heat exposure on work and post-work settings, highlighting the role of heat hangovers and control strategies to mitigate impacts.

Safety II Professionals: The future of our role in organisations

Presented by David Provan and Hosted by myosh HSEQ Software

Summary:
Organisations invest considerable resources in dedicated safety roles, teams and entire safety departments in the pursuit of understanding and managing safety risk. However, 30 years of research concludes that safety practitioners are largely not performing this role effectively in practice. This webinar will explain how we can use emerging theories of Safety II, Resilience Engineering and Safety Differently to transform the purpose, tasks and activities of safety practitioners to help them create foresight about the changing shape of risk, and facilitate action in their organisations before people are harmed.

About David:

He has a 20 year career as a Safety Executive across the rail, construction and oil and gas industries.

David is the co-host of ‘the safety of work’ podcast with Dr. Drew Rae which discusses safety science research findings in a practical way, so that organisations can move further towards evidence based safety practice.
