Pre-Conference Workshops
Wednesday 24 March 2010
These workshops will allow delegates to look in detail at specific areas of behavioural safety and have an overview of the methodology and assumptions behind the main style of behavioural safety.
Please choose two of the following:
A. Human Factors and Process Safety – Lessons from the Baker Report
Although it is well accepted that human failure is involved in most accidents it is not accepted that ‘human error’ is something beyond our control. Human Factors helps us understand and improve human performance – something recognised in the Baker Report on BP’s refineries in the US. This workshops will consider a systematic approach to controlling human error and provides an understanding of human capabilities and limitations at work.
B. Behavioural Based Safety – Introduction Safety Leadership as a Behavioural Approach
Behavioural Based Safety is a process that reduces unsafe behaviours that can lead to incidents occurring in the workplace. The process works by reinforcing safe behaviour and identifying the causes of unsafe behaviour. This workshop will cover the basics of Behavioural Based Safety as well as briefly looking at the latest developments in the field.
C. Advanced Accident Investigation
Looking at how companies can improve their incident investigation processes and experience improved incident analysis, improved reports and incident reports, reinforcement of a just culture and reduction in incidents. An explanation of the four stage investigation model will be given which covers: mobilisation and stabilisation; collection of evidence; analysis of findings; and recommendation. The workshop will consider aspects of incident causation, interviewing skills, basic analysis and report writing.
