About this webinar

All too often we make a false assumption, that is we assume that something will happen or should have happened based on what we accept as ‘true’ often without any real proof or evidence.

Hazard recognition is a capability that is often assumed to be present based on a person’s experience or position within a company.

For example, we assume that because someone has been promoted into a supervisory role that they ‘should’ be experts at hazard identification and risk management.

Wrong! Experience or title is not sufficient.

A study of an underground mining company published back in 2013 found that workgroups with long serving and some in supervisory positions only identified an average of 46% of hazards presented to them in a workshop situation.

So, if we can’t identify the hazards then we don’t even move onto assessing the risk and putting controls in place.

In this interactive webinar, Principal Safety Consultant Alan Stevenson will guide participants through the fundamentals of hazard identification. He’ll explore how our biases can impact our ability to ‘see the risk’ and share strategies to build and strengthen your hazard identification skills.
