Welcome to the Mindful Safety Program
This program is designed to help people get the most out of their work life. It does this by assisting to reduce workplace injuries and build a positive safety culture where people are happy to work and look after each other.
The program does this be exploring the following:
• why you would want to be safe,
• the typical factors that cause injury,
• the fundamentals of risk management,
• simple ways to find hazards and control them effectively,
• understand the role of human error in accidents,
• look at a simple model on how the mind works in making decisions,
• gain an understanding of mindfulness and how to apply it to your safety,
• develop a process for effectively thinking to get the right results,
• explore to role of emotions and beliefs in our behaviours and learn how to manage them,
• and define the type of safety culture we want on site.
This may seem like a lot to cover but it should make more sense by the end of the Part A section of the course. There will be a Part B section which will build on these initial concepts, but this will occur later on.
I genuinely hope that you find value in these video sessions and appreciate your effort in participating.
Good luck, I hope you enjoy it!
Cheers,
