Humanising Workplace Health and Safety Management

February 9, 2017 by Admin Leave a Comment

imageHumanising Workplace Health and Safety Management

Well who would have thought……….Safe Work Australia invited Dr Rob Long to take part in this ‘radical’ safety seminar – I am sure it would have created a good deal of cognitive dissonance for some of their regular listeners!!

Summary of the seminar, in their words:

Social psychologist Dr Robert Long challenges work health and safety policy makers and industry to move away from the current risk-averse approaches and apply a more social understanding of human judgement and decision making.
