Both internal and external benchmarking is a great to compare performance and find new innovative ways to learn and improve. Join us to learning more about benchmarking: What are key attributes of effective benchmarking? What is the difference between ‘opinion-based’ and ‘evidence-based’ benchmarking? Learn how to apply benchmarking through practical case studies
Ep 204Plugging the holes in holistic safety
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.
Ep 203Safety vs Wellbeing Programs – How to Boost Employee Engagement
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
Ep 202The Invisible Injury – Helping your leaders understand and address psychosocial risks

Ep 200The Power of Deep Listening
What difference would it make if Safety leaders and professionals changed the way they listened? Did you know that ….. Most of us have an 8 second attention span (BTW our attention span is 1% lower than a gold fish!) 85% of what we learn is from listening 75% of the time we are distracted or pre-occupied One hour after listening we recall 20% of what we heard 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.
Ep 199Our top 5 tips for risk assessments
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.
Ep 198Psychosocial Dx: Identifying Invisible 45003 Factors
Presented By Penny Pearce and Mark Wright, FEFO Consulting FEFO Consulting has designed a Psychosocial Dx to measure performance, apply reliable benchmarks and Levers for action.

Utilise reliable Levers to prevent, respond and promote healthy workplaces and high performance. Case studies of transferring legal requirements and theory into practices that add value.
Ep 197Measurement that enables safety capacity
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.
Ep 196Positive Safety - Shifting the focus from compliance to culture
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
Ep 195Verification of Competency (VoC)
On average, plant & equipment account for 71% of mechanisms related to worker fatalities². A Verification of Competency or VOC is a method of assessment which typically ensures that workers operating plant, equipment and other tools on work sites remain competent to do so – to keep themselves, others safe and solvent. This webinar provides a risk-based approach to establish a VOC program that not only meets legal requirements, but also enables effective risk controls and a high-performance culture. Learning Objectives Understand your legal obligations for VoC, including operator competency vs assessor competency Understand how to demonstrate due diligence and minimise risk of personal liability – facts vs myths! List options for taking a risk-based approach for establishing VoC safe systems of work Gain an understanding of leadership principles and methods of building a high-performance culture.

Ep 193Our Top 5 Tips for Improving Investigations
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.
Ep 192Supporting supervisors to ensure safety in open pit mining operations
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.
Ep 191Navigating H&S in Complex Times
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.

Ep 185Operational Leadership and Critical Risk Management
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.

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.
Ep 176Leading 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?
Ep 175Webinar – 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?

Ep 173Safety 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.
Ep 172BORING: 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.

This webinar discusses how this can be used as a replacement for existing safety climate and safety culture perception surveys. This evidenced based approach takes the contemporary safety theories of High Reliability Organisations (HRO), Resilience Engineering, Safety II, Safety Differently and Human and Organisational Performance and operationalises it in a way for organisations to understand their capacity for managing the safety of work. In addition the survey also understands how your organisation believes safety should be managed. This is critical insight for any improvement and change process. Understand the science and the practice of the latest safety thinking and research and how you can apply it in your organisation.
Ep 158SHAPED Supervision – Redefining Front Line Safety Leadership
Presented by David Provan and Ralph Shreeve (Safety Futures) What’s covered? The primary purpose of a modern supervisor working in hazardous operations is to organise, manage, support and develop the team’s ability to work safely. In order to effectively deliver on that primary purpose, we believe that the key actions of safe supervision are SHAPED i.e., Seeking differing opinions. Hunting for hazards. Aligning goals and roles. Planning collaboratively. Executing mindfully. Developing individual and team capabilities. These actions are not the exclusive domain of the supervisor. As the team must be actively engaged in the process, safe supervision should not be seen as something that is done to the team, but rather as a dynamic element of teamwork. The supervisor is accountable for the quality of supervision but every member of the team has a shared responsibility. Just as good leadership develops, and is in turn dependent upon, good follow-ship, safe supervision creates and is in turn dependent upon good teamwork. Optimising each of the elements of SHAPED supervision requires every member of the team to be fully engaged, not just with the supervisor and other team members, but also with the action itself. This knowledge will develop your understanding of how to create a safe system of work and supervision where the team is actively engaged in looking out for themselves and each other. This webinar is focused on: Exploring a new definition of supervision and understanding the elements of ‘SHAPED’ supervision. Exploring ‘safe supervision’ as both a leadership role and a set of activities that the whole team engage with using the “Know, Say, Do” framework. Exploring how diversity and inclusion can enhance hazard hunts and discussions and planning. Understanding how to harness the positive effects and minimise the potential negatives of diversity and collaboration.
