Recordings of past online events
Measuring What Matters with ASB
Deborah Pitout, Health and Safety Manager at ASB, discusses a project with Victoria University students (supported by WorkSafe) which practically utilised the Double Diamond process to come up with some prototypes to help ASB:
- measure health, safety and wellbeing and
- create a matrix that could help them to dig deeper and understand how they can move from Business as Usual to Business as Possible and create thriving ecosystems.
The students came up with three prototypes to test, as well as a Design Thinking HSW Game. The prototypes are not exclusive to ASB and could be used by other members of the Community.
Influencing a different approach to health and safety
Internationally acclaimed Safety II expert, Dr John Green shares his successes and failures in influencing boards and senior managers when it comes to a different approach to health and safety. John has worked in the oil, gas, petrochemical, electronics, heavy engineering, construction and aviation sectors and has more than 40 years' experience of industrial safety.
Moving away from health and safety bureaucracy
Deborah Pitout talks to Desai Link from commercial construction company, Brosnan Construction. Desai explains why Brosnan thought it was important to strip away layers of bureaucracy and how they went about it.
The dangerous road to zero harm
Dr Fred Sherratt is a professor of Construction & Sociology at Anglia Ruskin University in the UK. More than that, she is a chartered builder and chartered building engineer who has spent over 10 years on site "making safety work."
In this webinar, Fred shares her research into UK construction organisations and the concept of "zero harm". Does it work? Should it be the target? And statistically, do companies who have a zero target programme perform better than those without?
Measuring improvement
