SafeMindSafeBody® Workshop
A motivational workshop for increased behavior-based safety skills
The one-day SafeMindSafeBody® workshop is aimed at all employees within your organization to raise awareness of our human fallibilities, and how this impacts our safety.
This workshop motivates your teams to change their behaviors and decision making by asking questions: why we feel it is difficult to help a colleague and intervene; why we think bad things will never happen to us; and why some of our most experienced people get hurt.
It discusses how our memory limitations, experiences and habits influence our situational awareness and decision making. The workshop also looks at how and why risk perception varies among people and will introduce the concept of ‘chronic unease’. Finally, the workshop explores why interventions can be seen as an act of caring and will explore a successful conversation giving the delegates the skills and confidence to intervene when they see something unsafe taking place.
