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.Featured guests (in order of appearance):Pam Walaski (Episode 66): Changing attitudes to SafetyJosh Bryant (Episode 26): The 3 key principles of Safety DifferentlyMoni Hogg (Episode 39): Defining New View Safety?Andrea Baker (Episode 13): An understanding of what Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) meansBob Edwards (Episode 53): Does HOP lack accountability?Stephen Scott (Episode 28): Adopting Critical Risk ManagementJodi Goodall (Episode 67): The High-Reliability Organization (HRO) frameworkClive Lloyd (Episode 44): The problem with Behavior-Based SafetyMurray Ritchie (Episode 72): In defense of Behavior-Based SafetyTim D’Ath (Episode 61): An alternative to Behavior-Based SafetyAndrea Baker (Episode 13): Comparing Safety TheoriesElisa Lynch (Episode 14): New View versus traditional SafetyJames MacPherson (Episode 64): Bickering over Safety labelsCarsten Busch (Episode 76): Is there an ideal blend of Safety approaches?Dr Linda Martin (Episode 22): The problem with Safety theoryElisa Lynch (Episode 14): Are Safety approaches debates helpful?Murray Ritchie (Episode 72): Get rid of the Safety labelsDr Todd Loushine (Episode 74): Welcoming Safety ideasSam Goodman (Episode 27): Respecting our Safety predecessorsPam Walaski (Episode 66): Safety evolutionSafety Labs is created by Slice, the only safety knife on the market with a finger-friendly® blade.
