Before It Happens: How Safety Self-Awareness Can Empower Workers And Improve Your Safety Culture

By Greg Ford and Stephen Race

Imagine the next accident that will happen in your workplace. Chances are, it will be due to human error, not faulty equipment, improper rules or inadequate training. In fact, around 95% of incidents are due to human error, and research shows that human error is directly linked to personality traits such as distractibility, impulsiveness, resistance, and more. But instead of finger pointing, pencil whipping, and blaming the worker, what if there was a different approach to getting workers to act safely? It's called SAFETY SELF-AWARENESS, and it borrows from the most effective learning and development method--empowering the person with the tools and knowledge to change himself. This book presents an innovative approach to safety, one that is not about observing current behaviors and catching people doing things wrong, but instead is about predicting future behaviors. This gives people self-insight into why they make the choices they usually make...and how they can make safer choices
