Human behaviour has a direct influence on safety in many aspects of life - at work, in the home, on the road, in the air and at sea. What is meant then, by behaviour?
Behaviour is defined as:
- How a person conducts themselves
- The demeanour and manners of an individual
- An observable action of a person
The causes of human behaviour are associated with attitude, personality, motivation and memory, together with those pyhsical and mental characteristics which constitute a person and his environment.
Protecting ourselves and others from harm is second nature to most people. Let’s face it, we don’t intentionally plan to have an accident, the question is how do we plan and behave so we don’t have them? Individuals and organisations have a lot of responsibility from legislative compliance to company, individual and team performance requirements. The bottom line is how people choose to behave, what they choose to do or not do is what makes the difference.
Every organisation in today’s business environment wants and expects safe working practices. This course will explore some of the core beliefs, values and habits that promote a safe workplace.
