Why do people stand idly by as their coworkers do things that are clearly unsafe and say nothing when they know that they should? This presentation provides an overview of some of the more significant but often overlooked cognitive and social factors that suppress safety interventions and describes some significant first steps that organizations can take to move beyond "stop work authority" and address the hidden, but very real forces that keep their employees silent in the face of obvious risk.
Some employees are regrettably willing to take risks, as though they believe that they cannot be injured. This talk explores the role that "salience" plays in people's decisions to take risks. Those things that are more obvious and significant from one person's point of view are said to be more salient, and therefore play a greater role in determining the person's behavior. After exploring some of the surprisingly salient factors behind employees' decisions to act unsafely, attendees of this talk will be in a better position to address the challenge of risk tolerance in their organizations.
Culture plays a critical role in organizations’ safety performance, yet most of us have a hard time explaining in practical terms what culture is. This is one of the reasons why so many organizations struggle to change their safety culture. This talk starts by explaining safety culture in very practical terms, and then draws from research to provide a clear approach for positively changing the culture within an organization. Common "culture change pitfalls" are identified, and then three simple steps are described, which leaders from the front line to the board room can use to deliberately shape their organizations' safety cultures.
This presentation provides an overview of some of the more significant but often overlooked cognitive and social factors that suppress safety interventions, such as “deference to authority” and the “zero risk” bias. Additionally, case studies are used to illustrate the role that these factors play in industrial settings.
Zomerschool Amsterdam. Leerlingen in Amsterdam West gaan vanaf 2009 in de zomervakantie naar hun vakantieschool op basisschool 't Koggeschip. Het ochtendprogramma is cognitief van aard, met veel aandacht voor taal en kennis van de wereld. Het middagprogramma sluit daarop aan om datgene dat is geleerd tijdens de ochtend verder te internaliseren. Maar er is tijdens het middagprogramma ook ruimte voor sport en spel, creativiteit en drama.
Marijke heeft het taalcurriculum Kinderen van Amsterdam ontwikkeld. Een programma gericht op taal, burgerschap en kennis van de culturele rijkdom van onze hoofdstad !
