We often hear the catch-all term “complacency” but do we really understand what it means?

Complacency is usually defined as “having done a task many times without incident so that the person is no longer attentive to the dangers involved”.

For instance, if every time we moved looking at our phone we ran into a pole, we wouldn’t remain complacent for long, and we would change our behaviour to a safer habit (for example, looking where we are going).

Over the last 50 years, we have managed safety in three traditional ways: • Fix the work environment. • Improve the safety management system. • Get people to think more about safety.

These three approaches have helped us improve safety and we need to continue with them, but research shows they are not enough to prevent many incidents, even serious ones like SIFs.

Today, there is an increasing trend of workplace incidents involving contact with something meant to be there. For example, people running into poles, slipping on stairs with non-slip strips, tripping on furniture and many others.

For these types of incidents, we can’t do much about the work environment (unless we bubble-wrap people), improving the system won’t do much either and getting people to think more about safety is a nice idea, but neuroscience shows that’s not how our brain works.

If we want to improve safety further, we need to get our most valuable asset, our people, to be seasoned players in the personal/occupational safety game.

To do that, we need to understand the different types of complacency and teach them how to manage each type better to reduce their impact.

Neuroscience explains the biological basis of complacency (yes, it’s part of being human) and has identified specific neural circuits responsible for the different types of complacency.

The good news is that each type has a specific solution.

Many workplace challenges are complex.

 

No single factor can solve them on their own, and they require shifts in mindsets and behaviours across multiple levels of an organisation.

These complex adaptive challenges don’t have clear-cut solutions or "best practices" to implement.

In fact, treating them as technical problems can lead to more issues than progress. Drawing on experiences from high-risk sectors such as mining and aviation, this webinar explores how organisations can move beyond simplistic behavioural frameworks and embrace the complexities of real work.

We  discuss how to tap into the often-overlooked human potential within teams to create meaningful and sustainable impact.

 

The integrity and success of most critical risk management systems are often determined by the quality of safety leadership within the business. Not only do leaders need to ensure that the frontline workforce is adequately enabled to implement the appropriate critical controls at the task level, but they also need to support their workers through regular in-field reviews and verifications to ensure controls are present and effective. These infield interactions require leaders to have a mix of technical and interpersonal skills, to be able to coach the workforce to build critical control knowledge, as well as inviting open and collaborative discussions when gaps are identified, or improvement ideas are raised. Join Sentis Principal Consultant Dr Brett Solomon as he explores - • The role of the safety leadership within a critical risk management system; • Interpersonal communication strategies for an effective infield critical control verification process; • Understanding and responding to absent or ineffective controls; and, • Encouraging ongoing continuous improvement within the work planning and safety management system.

Presented by Angelina Badri, Founder and Director of Universal Safety Wellness What’s covered?

Give people a better understanding of why people do what they do and discover what influences their behavior. More importantly, find out what leaders can help people strengthen how they think, feel and behave to improve organisational performance, especially safety.

Organizations continue to be challenged to find ways to improve safety performance, whether it’s the prevention of severe injuries (or worse), reducing injury rates or helping people deal with mental health issues. Puzzled by why their safety performance stagnates or in many cases deteriorates, organisations continue to persist, believing that having compliant systems in place is much of what is needed.

They do not recognize other aspects, holistic safety factors, that can help improve safety performance significantly, as well as organisational and human performance.

• So, where are the “holes” and how do organisations improve the use of holistic safety? By strengthening how people think, feel and behave.
• Applying holistic principles backed by brain science allows us to align what people do for safety with human biology. In other words, when people are personally aware of their “brain mode” and know how to deal with it, they maximize their ability to be situationally aware.

Presented by Greg Stark, Founder and Director of Better Being What’s covered?

According to Maslow, there are four fundamental foundations that we must achieve before realising our potential: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging, and esteem. Often organisations skip straight to ‘safety’ to address employee wellbeing, however physiological needs form the basis of our health. Sleep, mindset, nutrition, and movement must be considered.

In this webinar, the Director of Better Being, Greg Stark, will explore these foundations and help you identify best practice for your business. 

• Understanding how Maslow’s hierarchy of needs fits into the employee experience 
• Steps to determine what wellbeing programs to implement 
• Strategies to support the physiological wellbeing of employees

The modern workplace has changed dramatically in recent years with an increased emphasis on the psychological well-being of employees.

Operational Learning is a Human and Organisational Performance (HOP) based technique of learning from those closest to the work to gain operational intelligence.

During this session we will introduce operational learning, what it is, what it isn’t and how it can be used across industry as a proactive means to learn and improve before negative events occur, improving both work and safety performance.

What difference would it make if Safety leaders and professionals changed the way they listened?

Did you know that …..

1. Most of us have an 8 second attention span (BTW our attention span is 1% lower than a gold fish!)
2. 85% of what we learn is from listening
3. 75% of the time we are distracted or pre-occupied
4. One hour after listening we recall 20% of what we heard
5. The average person listens at 25% efficiency

(Source: Tara Brach podcast episode 31 March 2023)

Listening is such an underrated skill. When we are at school we are taught to read and write but not actually how to listen.

In this interactive session you will experience what it is like to truly be listened to and the impact it has on you. Listening as a Safety Leader and Professional is one of the most critical and crucial skills you can demonstrate if you are to do your job well. People will more likely trust you and open up and be vulnerable around what is really happening – particularly around safety.

Come along to this session to practice deep listening and to hear some simple tips on how you can be even better listener to improve your effectiveness in your role and the relationships you have inside and outside of work.

Presented by Mark Alston What’s covered?

Organisations often struggle to achieve meaningful outcomes from risk assessment workshops. In this webinar, Mark Alston shares five practical tips for improving risk assessment workshop outcomes and delivering controls that reduce risk.

• Change the focus of risk assessments: Rather than simply justifying a decision that has already been made, use risk assessments to identify uncertainty and unknowns.
• Include the discovery of normal work: In addition to identifying potential risks, it’s important to understand the context of work and the risks that come with it.
• Develop risk scenarios that focus on the credible.
• Push the boundaries of controls.
• Ditch the Excel spreadsheets and other risk assessment tools.

Join us for an insightful webinar in collaboration with Skodel, where we explore how to effectively meet psychosocial compliance requirements in Australia without disrupting other business priorities.

Presented by Kelvin Genn, CEO, Art of Work What’s covered?

Safety is a function of work capacity, not the absence of the measurement of absence or counting of transactions. New measurement tools have been developed to provide a metric for Boards and Executives of organisations to understand the presence of safety capacity in their organisation by collecting and reporting on the state of operational capacity through enabling those that do the work.

These measures examine the extent of capacity building activities being undertaken in terms of reflecting on the investment the organisation has built up in the skills and capability of workers over and above the minimum competencies for their work. Capacity measures provide an index on the extent of resourcing for enablers of safety. Capacity measures are the high-water mark of the legislative obligations placed on officers to meet due diligence obligations that derive from workplace health and safety laws in jurisdictions such as Australia and New Zealand.

Safety Capacity is informed by an approach to health and safety that looks to build the health and safety capacity and resilience of an organisation, founded on engagement and trust with workers.

Presented by Anthony Gibbs, CEO, Sentis What’s covered?

What does safety look like in your organisation? Is safety looked at as a cost or as an opportunity? Are employees seen as the problem or the solution?

It’s easy to fall prey to the idea that safety takes too long, costs too much or just gets in the way of getting the job done. But what if we looked at safety as a form of currency that we can use to invest in the things that matter most?

Join Sentis CEO Anthony Gibbs as we flip the traditional safety narrative on its head and create a space where people share a values driven desire to do great work in which quality and safety are paramount, and people are intrinsically motivated to invest in the safety and wellbeing of themselves and others.

Throughout this webinar we will discuss:

• the definition of Positive Safety,
• using safety as an anchor for cultural change
• what a positive safety culture looks like, and
• how you can start implementing a Positive Safety culture in your organisation

Presented by Mark Alston, Investigations Differently What’s covered?

Many organisations struggle to achieve meaningful outcomes from investigations. Investigation reports either blame the worker and/or simply identify low-level organisational issues. This often results in weak administrative actions which don’t reduce risk.

In this webinar, Mark Alston discusses his 5 top tips for improving the outcomes from investigations and delivering meaningful actions that reduce risks including:

• Changing from investigation to learning.
• Changing how we decide what to investigate.
• Including the discovery of normal work.
• Pushing the boundaries of actions.
• Creating the pull for change from our leaders.

Presented by Presented by Ben Chartier, Head of Product Development, Max Mine Whats covered?

Mining haul trucks are at high risk when declining down ramps, particularly on deep pits. Operators are meant to maintain their vehicles well within operational speed limits to ensure that the vehicle can stay within a safe operating window.

Timely intervention is just as important as reporting accuracy. False positives erode confidence in taking interventions, but a conversation, hours or days later, is equally ineffective. Feedback needs to be timely in order to create significant shifts in behaviour.

MaxMine has pulled together a solution consisting of tech, data and coaching to provide a near-real time feedback loop to almost eliminate this risk in the challenging, high risk environment of open pit mining.

During the past three years many organisations, business leaders, teams and H&S professionals have had to navigate situations that feel complex.

This dynamic landscape has required organisations and their leaders to be flexible and respond efficiently to emerging risks and potential opportunities. Navigating complexity is not new to the Health & Safety Professional, business leaders and their teams. However, it is helpful to recognise when you are navigating unpredictability and adjust your decision-making process and approach to respond successfully.

In this panel discussion, Greencap will present and explore recent case studies where a decision-making framework was successfully used to navigate and respond to health and safety risks and unforeseen challenges. The discussion aims to provide participants with examples of how to:

• Successfully approach and navigate health & safety challenges; • Adjust the decision-making process to suit the unique needs of the situation; and • Respond in a contextually appropriate way.

Presented by Mark Cooper, Principal Consultant, Sentis

What’s covered?

High hazard activities rely on rules, procedures and standards to specify ‘safe operation’. While these standards are usually written by experts, they may not universally apply to every situation or operational context. A recent review of over 160 serious incidents across multiple industry sectors, identified that 49% of control failures involved intentional ‘workarounds’. This is not to suggest that workers are defiantly flouting rules or expectations. In fact, often workaround behaviours can be linked back to operational leadership and organisational factors.

Operational leaders set the tone and help shape the environment within which critical controls are managed. They act as role models, define what’s expected and influence behaviours and attitudes through their actions and words. In this webinar we’ll target the role of leadership in critical control management processes.

In this webinar, Sentis Principal Consultant Mark Cooper will explore: • The psychology of risk, risk taking and risk management • Strategies for leaders to promote, influence and reinforce the importance of critical control management • The benefits of examining the ways your work is affected by latent operational and corporate influences.

Presented by Adrian Manessis, Director Business Development What’s covered?

Reduce Incidents with a Control Management framework that integrates with everyday work processes. The myosh Critical Control Management (CCM) module reduces the likelihood of incidents by automating the CCM process. Critical Control verification is incorporated into everyday processes such as regular workplace inspections The system helps organisations implement recommendations designed to reduce serious injuries and fatalities, as highlighted in the Brady report. One of the key recommendations in this report is the need to focus on the effectiveness and enforcement of controls to manage hazards, and drive real improvement in workplace safety.

Our team will demonstrate how:

• Critical Risks & Controls are defined within the Digital Bowtie
• Records are created automatically as Bowtie elements are added.
• The Bowtie updates in real-time when controls are compromised.
• Frequent processes such as inspections and incident reports automatically create verification records and update control status.

Organisations typically record thousands of verifications over time, ensuring compliance, transparency, and feedback for management. The system allows for unlimited workflow opportunities, for example, automatic action generation and non-conformance status amendments. myosh is a highly configurable, cloud-based safety solution featuring over 50 core modules. All modules can be easily integrated with one another and configured to interact with external software. The myosh team are focused on exceeding expectations for services and reliability and our product range evolves constantly based on user feedback and contributions from leading safety authorities.

Wearable technology has become a core element in the injury prevention and post injury rehabilitation process for many professional sports teams. This information is also essential in the injury prevention and post injury rehabilitation and return to work process following workplace injury.

Over the past five years Scott Coleman and Preventure have been collaborating with various employers across different industries to create a cost-effective and sustainable wearable technology tool that enables the measurement of the physical demands of individual work tasks and the capacity of workers to perform these tasks throughout their shift.

This session will involve a review of the use of wearable technology for movement analysis, an overview of the data analysis and reporting process and various case studies involving the use of wearable technology to prevent injuries and return injured workers back to full workload

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

This is a follow-up session to David’s previous presentation. This session will showcase a LIVE demonstration.

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.

Presented by Annette Gray, Director, Annette Gray Consulting What’s covered?

The great resignation is getting a lot of airtime in the media these days. However if you look at it from a positive angle, it is a great opportunity to do things differently and rethink many things we have taken for granted particularly how we lead people. You may be thinking what does Leadership for the Future actually mean?  This will be a facilitated interactive session where we will explore together through conversation and interactive discussion:  What does leadership for the future mean for you and your organisation?  Employees are wanting leaders who:

• See them as a whole person and support their well-being and their sense of purpose
• Want to feel like they belong
• They want to have access to flexibility in how and where they work
• Speak to them in a respectful way where they are part of the problem solving and decision making
• Come along with your own views and ideas on how these topics can be integrated into how you and your organisations address these and pick up new ideas from others.

Presented by Adrian Manessis, Director Business Development, Mel Ikac, Solution Consultant & Maddie Edwards, Solution Consultant What’s covered? Reduce Incidents with a Control Management framework that integrates with everyday work processes. The myosh Critical Control Management (CCM) module reduces the likelihood of incidents by automating the CCM process. Critical Control verification is incorporated into everyday processes such as regular workplace inspections

The system helps organisations implement recommendations designed to reduce serious injuries and fatalities, as highlighted in the Brady report. One of the key recommendations in this report is the need to focus on the effectiveness and enforcement of controls to manage hazards, and drive real improvement in workplace safety.

Our team will demonstrate how:

Critical Risks & Controls are defined within the Digital Bowtie Records are created automatically as Bowtie elements are added. The Bowtie updates in real-time when controls are compromised. Frequent processes such as inspections and incident reports automatically create verification records and update control status. Organisations typically record thousands of verifications over time, ensuring compliance, transparency, and feedback for management. The system allows for unlimited workflow opportunities, for example, automatic action generation and non-conformance status amendments.

myosh is a highly configurable, cloud-based safety solution featuring over 50 core modules. All modules can be easily integrated with one another and configured to interact with external software. The myosh team are focused on exceeding expectations for services and reliability and our product range evolves constantly based on user feedback and contributions from leading safety authorities.

CCM Reporting on the performance of critical controls includes:

How many Where On what No of failures/passes Ineffective controls needing review Which critical risks became uncontrolled And can be reported by location, client, piece of equipment – it’s all configurable.

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.

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?

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)
