Humanising Safety Workshops
Our Humanising Safety workshops provide a practical approach to human-centric safety and wellbeing, underpinned by evidence-based content and collating the most effective elements of traditional and contemporary approaches for safety professionals and leaders to practise at work.
​
The content and delivery of the Humanising Safety Program is most effective when customised to the needs of the client, considering the context of the work performed and the types of safety and cultural challenges faced by the client. The below Humanising Safety Programs are provided as a starting point for our clients, with content amended, added or removed depending on where our clients are on their safety journey. ​By following our four-step approach to humanising safety, participants will learn to apply humanistic safety principles to any workplace where safety is valued.
Our Humanising Safety Program explores the realm of human-centric safety and its intricacies, unpacking topics such as the contradictions and dilemmas of workplace safety, the psychology of safety, the human condition and its contribution to the safety of work, and how safety leaders can synthesise the collective knowledge, skills, expertise, and lived experiences of the people who make up an organisation.
​
Featuring group exercises and case studies, these workshops allow participants to navigate the vast sea of information surrounding the opportunities and pitfalls of traditional and contemporary safety approaches through a lens of human-centric safety.
