7 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 2 ratings

Much of what is “new” in safety has not been proven to make any difference to safety performance, some of it possibly making it worse. Our aim is to use legitimate science to explore ways to help improve safety and move beyond just fixing the environment or improving the system or making safety more conscious.These three approaches helped us improve safety and brought us to where we are today, but they are struggling to help us improve further.In the Safety Frontiers Podcast, our focus is to explore novel ways of thinking about safety: using different approaches to make systems more effective, strengthen safety culture, and take a deep dive into the discoveries and insights gained from neurobiology and brain research over the last 5 years. This will be new information to many. We know disruptive thinking challenges long-held beliefs and accepted norms. As such, it could be confronting for some. However, significant improvements tend to come from new perspectives and that is what we are interested in.We do not advocate one approach over another, we are here to explore new safety frontiers, to ensure that we are using everything available to help people with safety.

Leaders need to understand how to deal with both minds effectively if they are going to influence their people’s behaviour to be safer.  In other words, since behaviour is a whole-of...

In Episode 5 of the Safety Frontiers Podcast - The Problem With Psychology In Safety - we continue the theme of the mind and run the ‘science ruler’ over psychology and explore its effectiveness with safety.

July 06, 2021 03:00 - 29 minutes - 20.1 MB

In Episode 4 of the Safety Frontiers Podcast - The Neuroscience Of Inattention - we discuss ‘the neuroscience of inattention’. In the last 10 years or so, brain science has been looking inside our heads with an explicit aim of improving our understanding of why we do what we do.

Ep3. Third Generation Safety

June 01, 2021 03:00 - 24 minutes - 16.5 MB

On Episode 3 of the Safety Frontiers Podcast - Third Generation Safety - we look at ‘what’s next’ in safety. We focus on Third Generation Safety, the missing piece. That is: teaching people to be habitually safer.

Ep2. The Evolution Of Safety

On Episode 2 of the Safety Frontiers Podcast - The Evolution Of Safety - we look at the evolution of safety; from the 80’s to the 90’s, from ‘eliminating the hazard’ to ‘keeping safety front of mind’. Each of these were a step in the right direction, but incidents were still happening.

April 06, 2021 03:00 - 24 minutes - 16.8 MB

In our first episode of the Safety Frontiers Podcast, we focus the lens on using real science in safety and take a deep dive into the discoveries and insights gained from brain research over the last 5-10 years.  Join Cristian Sylvestre and David Pope as we look at how we can improve safety by using real science, not junk science or pseudoscience. If you like the status quo in safety, give it a miss. However, if you like shaking the safety tree to get better fruit, please join us. You won’t...
