Building safety consciousness in pandemic times – How to ensure people follow OHS guidelines in your workplace

Presentation by: Dr Natasha Lazareski Managing Director, PsyFlex

CSG Talks Logo 2Welcome to the third in a series of videos exclusive to Central Safety Group while normal physical meetings are suspended.

Building safety consciousness in pandemic times – How to ensure people follow OHS guidelines in your workplace.
Returning to the workplace after the Covid-19 shutdown presents OHS challenges from both a physical and psychological perspective.
In this video, Dr Natasha Lazareski talks about how OHS managers can help employees adjust to the new reality and pandemic-safe workplaces. She outlines an easy to apply guide for employees to embrace the new safety requirements and interact with respect and tolerance towards others. As an occupational health and behavioural science specialist, Natasha offers six helpful points in this video for managing occupational and psychosocial risk in a post-lockdown workplace that requires everyone to comply with Covid-19 guidelines.
Natasha explains that we all feel differently about this new situation, and while we cannot control our feelings, we have control over our actions. At work our actions should show respect, compassion, caring and understanding towards those who have different feelings about the impact of Covid-19.

The presenter:

Natasha Lazareski is a medical doctor, specialising in occupational health, with 21 years of experience in Australian organisations. She is also trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural therapy. In 2006, in the wake of the SARS pandemic, as medical and injury management services manager at IAG, Natasha was actively engaged in developing an organisational response to a possible influenza pandemic. At the time, medical experts knew that another airborne or droplet-borne pandemic was imminent. Natasha has been following COVID 19 developments closely since January and has been supporting workplaces worldwide with their response to infection control and occupational stress management.

AI know-how & OHS
The topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being met with rising interest and speculation about how it can be applied in the workplace. An example of the successful use of AI in OHS will be presented to Central Safety Group on Tuesday 14 October by John Ansley, co-founder of Knowby.
They have developed a digital tool, Knowby Pro, that takes the complexity out of instructions, giving instant access to critical information. John will demonstrate how the Knowby Pro platform works, and the different ways it can be applied in business.
CSG Committee member Gavin Kenny, who is Head of Health and Safety Systems Transformation at Opal, will contribute to the presentation by talking about how he uses the tool at his workplace. He will give his perspective on its application at Opal, and how it has improved their OHS communications.
Billed as an alternative to those painful how-to manuals and instructional videos, Knowby Pro allows users to create SOPs or work instructions using a combination of text and images and/or video, with the help of AI.
John and Gavin’s presentation will include an opportunity for questions from the audience.
