Safe Mind Safe Body®
SafeMindSafeBody® - A Motivational Workshop for Increased Behavior-Based Safety Skills
The SafeMindSafeBody® training is aimed at all employees within your organisation, to raise awareness of our human fallibilities, and how this impacts our safety.
KEY LEARNING / OUTCOMES
The key objectives of the programme include:
Situational awareness
- An understanding of memory limitations and situational awareness, and the effect this has when working in a dynamic environment.
- Building awareness of how habits are created and how they can make us unsafe.
Risk perception
- An understanding of risk perception and how this can impact our decision making and behaviours.
- An introduction to the concept of chronic unease and what it looks like when encountered.
Intervention
- An understanding of why and how we can keep each other safe through the act of intervening.
SafeMindSafeBody© trainings motivate your teams to change their behaviours and decision making by asking questions: why we feel it is difficult to help a colleague and intervene; why we think bad things will never happen to us; and why some of our most experienced people get hurt.
It discusses how our memory limitations, experiences and habits influence our situational awareness and decision making. The workshop also looks at how and why risk perception varies among people and will introduce the concept of ‘chronic unease’. Finally, the workshop explores why interventions can be seen as an act of caring and will explore a successful conversation giving the delegates the skills and confidence to intervene when they see something unsafe taking place.
TARGET AUDIENCE
All employees at all levels of an organisation, site-based and functional personnel
