Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorder Risk Analysis – A Data Driven Approach

Presented by David Bick, Director, Consulting Services, Joint Action Solutions

Whats covered?

The old traditional, reactive process of assessing WMSD in a task is changing. Digital technology has allowed a much more proactive and prevention focused way which allows non experts to produce quick, objective, accurate, cost effective and reliable results. We can now make data driven decisions by doing automated manual task risk assessments using wearable sensors which produce instant and relevant reporting to target the key hazards.

Webinar - Underreporting and the Implications for Serious Injury and Fatality Prevention

Presented by Anthony Gibbs, (CEO Sentis), Dr Amy
Hawkes, (Head of Psychology at Sentis) and Warren Smith

 

Research suggests that one in five recordable incidents and near misses have serious or fatal outcome potential—regardless of the actual outcome severity. Yet many organisations struggle with underreporting and classification of their more serious incidents.

Understanding the system and culture factors that contribute to underreporting and your organisation’s risk exposure is the first step to building a more mature reporting culture.

In this webinar, Sentis CEO Anthony Gibbs will interview Dr Amy Hawkes, Head of Psychology at Sentis, and Warren Smith, Founder of Incident Analytics, to explore:
• the importance of accurately identifying serious injury/fatality potential events
• key drivers of underreporting
• the importance of weak signals to future serious events
• some practical ideas and strategies you can implement to improve the way your organisation responds to incident reports.

Leading People To Use Their Brains As PPE

Presented by Cristian Sylvestre, Habitsafe

What’s covered?
The Problem
Leaders invest heavily in eliminating hazards, improving the safety systems and making safety more conscious by engaging people with conversations about safety.
During the last 50 years, these have helped improve safety significantly. We can’t do without them.
Today, we use these three approaches more than we have before, and we do it substantially better than ever before.
Yet, workplace fatalities in the Australia have stagnated since 2013, as have the number of incidents, even those with serious consequences.

So, do we continue to only do more of the same and hope the trend reverses?
We need to contemplate we might be missing something.
As safety professionals, we need to ask ourselves: Is there an innovation out there safety is failing to recognise and utilise?

Webinar – OKR vs KPI: Measuring Health and Safety Metrics that Matter

Presented by Mark Wright, MD, FEFO Consulting

 

Is your health & safety strategy effective?

Do your metrics allow you to learn, adjust and improve?

If either your strategy is wrong or metrics are in effective, there is a good chance there are lost opportunities for success.

The Objective Results (OKR) approach to setting goals is a great way to effectively support a strategy and has been used at Google, LinkedIn Airbnb, and many more. OKR’s are often complimented by Key Performance Indicators (KPI)

Webinar : The Intangibles – Do We Need to Change Our Focus

Presented by Adam Turns, Symplexi

In safety we like to measure things. But does what we measure tell us what we really need? Does what we do, actually do what we want it to?

In this webinar, Adam Turns will ask you to consider some of your common beliefs around safety and why they are important. We’ll explore systems and culture and the things we currently measure, as well as touching on why changing our focus to some of the intangibles like trust, responsibility and commitment may be in our best interests.

Safety Leadership, Thinking as a Host

Presented by Andy Shone, CEO, Southpac Group

The responsibility of Leadership can feel overwhelming, not least when all the literature, books and memes depict leaders as heroes. Heroes are expected to be, well, heroic. In safety leadership terms this means having all the answers, making the big calls, motivating people, being inspirational!

Leading as a host is a more realistic proposition. Leading isn’t all about being front and centre. As a host leader its more important to know when it’s time to step forward and when it’s time to step back. This webinar aims to re-frame safety leadership utilising the host leadership approach and will provide insights into alternative leadership practices.

BORING: it could be life or death but workers tune out to health and safety info

What's Covered?

An Edith Cowan University (ECU) study has confirmed what many workers have long lamented: health and safety information, while vital, often fails to engage employees.

Dr Kelly Jaunzems’ study investigated occupational safety and health (OSH) information in the workplace and whether it was read, understood, taken on board, internalised and enacted.

The study found most companies use email to convey OSH information, but it is not the most effective method or preferred by employees, and social media’s potential remains virtually untapped.

Kelly will discuss

• How to tailor OSH Communication to reflect urgency, amount and type
• How other industries use social media platforms for their advantage
• How to create and engage with meaningful two-way conversations

About Dr Kelly Jaunzems

Researcher and Lecturer, Edith Cowan University

Dr Kelly Jaunzems is a qualitative researcher with extensive experience in ethnographic research design and implementation. She has a Master of Occupational of Health and Safety, and her PhD thesis investigated the communication of OSH information through a social construction framework. Her research focuses on social media, the social side of safety, and the channels and process of communicating OSH information to organisations, employees and the general public. Dr Jaunzems is co-chair of the AIOH’s Communications and Marketing committee, and the Australian representative on the IOSH Communication and Marketing Committee.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SURVEY FOR YOUR BUSINESS
With so many surveys available in the market now, you may have found yourself wondering which to choose. How do you decide which metric is best for your team or business?

Join Amy Hawkes to explore:

• The components of engagement and difference between engagement, climate and culture
• Recent research across these areas
• When and why to assess engagement or culture

Enabling Leadership & The Power of Curiosity

Presented by Marc McLaren, Art of Work

What’s covered? 

Safety leaders may be missing out on the most valuable source of information in their organisation.
Marc McLaren explores the power of curiosity in building capacities in leaders to shift their practices and interactions from ‘telling and directing’ to ‘learning and engagement’.
By creating an environment that permissions people to be curious about their own work, leaders are unlocking the full potential that exists at the frontline.
