Training
Intro:
Ready to positively influence your organisation’s safety culture? COMET and PSS have partnered to help you learn how to implement best practice safety culture behaviours using real port scenarios, challenges & activities. Attend this highly interactive one-day workshop to see how!
Pre-requisite:
If you work in the port industry and have a desire to not only work and behave safely, but positively influence others and implement best practice, this workshop is for you.
Benefits:
With this challenging but enjoyable workshop you will learn how to positively influence the culture at your workplace, understand why people make mistakes and how to guard against these, and how to manage the impact of risk.
What is safety culture?
You’ll explore what safety culture means, how it is represented in organisations and the various methods for assuring safety, in which people play a key role
The themes of psychological safety
You’ll learn about human aspects of safety, including situational awareness, alpha state and communication, all contributing to developing a psychologically safe workplace.
You’ll also learn how to effectively intervene during challenging situations, as well as to overcome the common reasons why people may choose not to intervene.
Safety culture as a shared responsibility
You’ll discover principles and techniques of safety collaboration, which is not just a set of rules or protective measures, but an ongoing, collective process based on shared responsibility, trust, and communication among all stakeholders involved in port operations.
Understand the impact of getting it wrong
Utilising an interactive ‘consequences’ model, based on case studies and real events, you’ll investigate the impact of when things go wrong to understand who and what is impacted over time, beyond the things we can see.
This programme will utilise case studies and scenarios relevant to ports designed to increase your knowledge, skill set and confidence with regards to effectively contributing towards a positive safety culture.
