In this episode, we’re conducting a thorough investigation of the different theories and frameworks Safety professionals can adopt to keep their co-workers safe.
There’s been a palpable shift in attitudes towards workplace safety over recent years, with multiple more-human-centred approaches emerging. But their key differences and relative effectiveness often polarize the safety profession.
We’ve compiled a collection of clips from 16 of our previous guests to help define the the different approaches, including:
- Safety Differently
- New View Safety
- Human and Organizational Performance (HOP)
- Critical Risk Management
- High-Reliability Organization (HRO) framework
- Behavior-Based Safety
And also bring some clarity to the ongoing debate about which philosophy is best.
