Learn how to reduce brain-centred hazards in the workplace

A great deal of progress in personal and process safety has been made through the effective identification and control of workplace hazards.

Using applied neuroscience, Dr Susan L Koen has discovered over 10 brain-centred hazards that can be found in most workplaces today.

These hazards range from loss of situational focus to leader-driven shortcuts and even team role dysfunctions.

To hear from Dr Koen, join a free webinar on 28 June exploring five of the brain-centred hazards affecting workplace safety and reliability, including:

  • situational blindness
  • SOP illiteracy
  • urgency upsets
  • multitasking myths
  • the ‘5x relative risk’ factor

After explaining these five hazards, Dr Koen will introduce the controls needed to mitigate the business and safety risks created by these hazards. Attendees also will learn about specific management system changes that can curb brain-centred risks.

This webinar is highly suitable for any organisational leader who wants to install effective controls on these high-risk hazards and improve human performance reliability.

The one-hour event will take place on Tuesday, 28 June 2016 from 10–11 am AEST.
