The rights and wrongs of safety comms
Effective communications are a key part of creating a safe workplace, but what works and what doesn’t? Some valuable insights and answers will be provided by Dr Tristan Casey in his 11 March presentation to Central Safety Group.
Dr Casey, an Implementation Scientist (Workplace Health, Safety & Wellbeing), conducted a detailed study on safety communication, in the field, as a joint project between Queensland’s Griffith University and the nation-wide Protech employment group.
He will discuss some basic principles of safety communications and also give an outline of the project. It involved an in-depth survey of a large cross-section of workers placed by Protech, then an analysis of the results to produce some useful practical recommendations.
Rob D’Elsini, Protech’s WHS Business Partner, will also contribute to the presentation by sharing his experience of applying some of the research outcomes. Rob will outline a number of the study’s ideas and systems for safety communications that Protech have put into practice and discuss their effectiveness.
