Systems thinking is a currently popular philosophy within safety science that is applied to understand and enhance occupational health and safety. In this lecture I will reflect on over twenty years of applied safety research and discuss ten critical lessons learned about occupational health and safety management. This will involve the use of case study examples covering areas such as accident and injury causation, risk and risk assessment, incident reporting and learning, accident analysis, work design, and the development of safety interventions. The practical implications of each lesson learned for occupational health and safety management will be discussed. To close the lecture, emerging challenges for occupational health and safety will be identified as well as the need for widespread application of systems thinking.
This event will also be LIVE streamed Nationally.
LIVE Stream: Log-in details will be sent out to all registered participants 1-2 days prior.
