    Narrated by RedBot, this podcast is by guest, Professor Scott Geller. Certain words commonly used in occupational health and safety (OSH) can reduce people's engagement in safety-related efforts. The use of these words has become habitual and people are often unaware of how their verbal behavior contributes to less-than-optimal commitment to health, safety, and human welfare. In this short podcast, let's consider some alternatives to the more commonly used OSH words that could stifle engagement in injury-prevention processes.

    Digital brain training programs don't work! Our mental capacity is already being diminished due to our increasing dependence on digital interfaces which take over the work our brains use to become “stronger”. Studies have repeatedly shown that digital based brain training programs like Lumosity produce minimal real world benefits and an overload of digital interfaces over time can create a condition neuroscientists call “digital dementia” because they only stimulate the left side of the brain, eventually resulting in loss of focus and memory. In this live event, let's discuss with John Kennedy (Primary Neuroplastician), Jimmy Quinn (IOSH President) and Ed Thomas (Security Specialist) the fascinating subject of Neuroplasticity.

    How to Improve Your Investigation Skills [#064]

    Contrary to popular belief, the aim of an accident investigation interview is not to find who is guilty and who can be blamed: it is to discover the truth of what has happened. Once that is known, measures can be put in place to stop it happening again. Unlike a management interview, where the manager drives things forward, in an accident investigation interview the dynamics can be totally different. Because the interviewee might have something to hide – they might have done something wrong, they might be protecting a friend – there is the potential for a hidden agenda. That means the manager could be the one actually under scrutiny, even if they don't realise it. The interviewee wants to know what's going on. They will listen very carefully to what's being asked and to what is not being asked. They will focus on how the interviewer responds to things. And they will even see if the interview can be manipulated. But, with a careful approach, the interviewer can still keep the upper hand. Andy Farrall CMIOSH, health and safety accident investigator, explains how to conduct an effective accident investigation interview.

    Ask leaders what their organisation's biggest strength is, and chances are they'll reach for the adage of “our people are our greatest asset”. On the face of it, this sounds compelling. After all, employing people costs money, and you wouldn't want to think of what could well be your largest expense category as not being valuable. Yet, what we often don't think about, or indeed like to think about, is that those same assets are also that organisation's most significant risk. When things go wrong, there is usually a human component involved — either causing the problem in the first place or making it worse by the reaction to it. Our guest on this show, Christian Hunt refers to this as 'human risk', which he defines as “the risk of people doing things they shouldn't or not doing things they should”. It's a broad definition encompassing everything from intentional wrongdoing, such as fraud, to “I was tired, and I made a mistake”. Christian helps companies to mitigate human risk using Behavioural Science - the understanding of the real drivers of human decision-making. By designing environments that recognise human risk, we can mitigate its impact. This isn't just relevant to risk management. The way we manage human risk impacts what Christian calls ‘human reward' — getting the best out of people. The more we mitigate human risk, the more we risk reducing human reward. Equally, if we unleash human reward, we'll be running more human risk. Particularly in the Knowledge Economy, where people are being hired to do the things machines can't — tasks that involve judgement, nuance and emotional intelligence. It's when we're at our best, but also when we're at our riskiest. In our discussion with Christian, we'll explore all of these dynamics and what we can do to mitigate them.

    Meltdown: Why Our Systems Fail and What We Can Do About It by Chris Clearfield explores how complexity causes problems in modern systems and how individuals, organizations, and societies can prevent or mitigate the resulting failures. Meltdown was named a best book of the year by the Financial Times and won the National Business Book Award in 2019. In reviewing the book in The Wall Street Journal, concluded that: "Meltdown effectively conveys why addressing systemic failures is both difficult and essential: difficult because it's so much more comfortable to rely on gut instinct and trust familiar colleagues than to insist on structured approaches and solicit the views of others; essential because we are moving into the danger zone and need all the help we can get." Meltdown received the George R. Terry Book Award of the Academy of Management, granted annually to "the book judged to have made the most outstanding contribution to the global advancement of management knowledge during the last two years." The book also won the Thinkers50 Strategy Award in 2019 and was described as "one of the stand-out business books of the last decade."

    If you look back at the history of inventions - indeed the history of science - you find an extraordinary catalogue of hunches, random experimentation and lucky accidents. This rule seems to apply even more in terms of business innovation and entrepreneurialism. The inescapable conclusion is that there are somehow more ideas out there that we can post-rationalise than ideas we can pre-rationalise. Hence if we demand that every business proposal or every avenue of enquiry makes sense in advance, we are painting ourselves into a corner: massively limiting the possible solution space to a few narrow, mostly incremental improvements on what we already have.

    Fear has a profoundly negative impact on engagement, learning efficacy, productivity, and innovation, but until now there has been a lack of practical information on how to make employees feel safe about speaking up and contributing. Psychological safety is a condition in which human beings feel (1) included, (2) safe to learn, (3) safe to contribute, and (4) safe to challenge the status quo—all without fear of being embarrassed, marginalized, or punished in some way.

    Towards Sustainable Workplace Health [#040]

    The British Occupational Hygiene Society (BOHS) has been supporting workplace health prevention since 1953. Over that period, it has become more and more apparent that we all need to take a long-term view of workplace health. This is because causes of worker ill-health and the manifestation of occupational diseases often only become obvious some time after exposure. BOHS recognises the need to take a step back and take a more systematic and sustainable approach to managing occupational hygiene and health. The end result is demonstrably better management tools to enable the targeting and prevention of occupational exposures. It perhaps suggests a route to a wider-scale approach which does not focus solely on aiming to detect disease and inspect against fault, but is more strategic in its approach to health risk management . BOHS believes that this is an approach which could assist the construction sector, it could be integrated into project management and design, yielding efficiency, as well as benefits in terms of immediate and long-term health outcomes. Let's discuss this with Kelvin Williams (BOHS President) and Dave Rogers (OHS Consultant).

    Getting Things Done (GTD) is a process for increasing your own productivity. GTD is not about a time management system but instead it is a process for bringing order and action to our typically chaotic and random individual worlds. The system and process for achieving this is described in David's best selling book of the same name. The GTD method rests on the idea of moving all items of interest, relevant information, issues, tasks and projects out of the mind by recording them externally and then breaking them into actionable work items. This allows attention to be focused on taking action on tasks, instead of recalling them. In this live event with NY Times Best Selling Author David Allen, let's explore what the five key stages and techniques that we can use for Getting Things Done.

A playbook reflects a plan; "an approach or strategy defining predetermined responses worked out ahead of time.” In this interview with Shawn Galloway, President of ProAct Safety Inc, it will be great to get his thoughts but more specifically on "What is (or are) the missing pieces" and what should be in the playbook.

Resilience is considered as those features that enable an organisation to cope with, adapt to and recover from a disaster event. Resilient Safety Culture (RSC) concept has emerged from a systemic view of safety and risk management in complex systems. RSC is an emerging field and information is still relatively new.

    Human capital is an intangible asset or quality not listed on a company's balance sheet. It can be classed as the economic value of a worker's experience and skills. It and includes assets like education, training, intelligence, skills, health, and other things employers value such as loyalty and punctuality. Employers can improve the quality of human capital by investing in employees—the education, experience, and abilities of employees all have economic value for employers and for the economy as a whole. Human capital is important because it is perceived to increase productivity and thus profitability. So the more a company invests in its employees (i.e., in their education and training), the more productive and profitable it could be, plus other key important factors such as health, well being and safety.
