Expert Views on Safety Theories
Listen now
Description
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.
