Many organisations have prioritised identifying organisational issues as an outcome of their investigation process. Too often the issues identified are superficial and do not identify systemic issues. This lack of depth results in a preponderance of low-level administrative actions delivering little risk reduction to the organisation.

In this webinar, Mark Alston will discuss how to improve the depth of an investigation and identify systemic organisational issues.

The definition issues for employees and the COVID-19 vaccine is whether employers can enforce mandatory vaccinations –No Jab No Job?

With the Country and individual states opening up, employers need to know their legal obligations. Brian Jackson (Employment Lawyer from Moray & Agnew Lawyers) will present on this important topic so that employers know how to proceed and avoid claims and HR related risks.

Last month Forge Works released the Safety of Work Survey as part of a diagnostic process for improving the safety of work. This webinar discusses how this can be used as a replacement for existing safety climate and safety culture perception surveys. This evidenced based approach takes the contemporary safety theories of High Reliability Organisations (HRO), Resilience Engineering, Safety II, Safety Differently and Human and Organisational Performance and operationalises it in a way for organisations to understand their capacity for managing the safety of work.

In addition the survey also understands how your organisation believes safety should be managed. This is critical insight for any improvement and change process. Understand the science and the practice of the latest safety thinking and research and how you can apply it in your organisation.

The primary purpose of a modern supervisor working in hazardous operations is to organise, manage, support and develop the team’s ability to work safely.  In order to effectively deliver on that primary purpose, we believe that the key actions of safe supervision are SHAPED i.e.,

• Seeking differing opinions.

These actions are not the exclusive domain of the supervisor. As the team must be actively engaged in the process, safe supervision should not be seen as something that is done to the team, but rather as a dynamic element of teamwork. The supervisor is accountable for the quality of supervision but every member of the team has a shared responsibility.

Just as good leadership develops, and is in turn dependent upon, good follow-ship, safe supervision creates and is in turn dependent upon good teamwork.  Optimising each of the elements of SHAPED supervision requires every member of the team to be fully engaged, not just with the supervisor and other team members, but also with the action itself.

This knowledge will develop your understanding of how to create a safe system of work and supervision where the team is actively engaged in looking out for themselves and each other.

This webinar is focused on:

• Exploring a new definition of supervision and understanding the elements of ‘SHAPED’ supervision.

Understanding your responsibilities as an employer to protect worker health starts with understanding the factors in your organisation that have the potential to cause harm. Automation of routine tasks, technological advancements, and ongoing organisational change have transformed the nature of work. Performing complex and cognitively demanding tasks now represents the greatest percent of skill required by Australian employees.

This webinar will help you identify psychosocial factors that have the potential to cause harm to worker health in your organisation. You will learn how to manage the risk to reduce the potential for these hazards to occur, and if they do occur how to act appropriately to minimise the likelihood of harm.

There are many benefits to implementing evidence based systems for creating a psychologically safe and healthy work environment. This includes better individual worker wellbeing and organisational productivity outcomes, while also achieving your due diligence to provide a safe working environment.
