Behavioural Safety - Human Behaviour
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.

How are qualifications achieved in the workplace?
Are you already in a Business Administration - Project Management - Management role, and have loads of skills and many years of experience, but don't hold a formal qualification? Would you like to get qualified but don't want to have to take time off work, or spend your nights and weekends studying?
Macquarie Training has the perfect solution for you. Our workplace based qualifications seek to draw out the knowledge you already hold, rather than make you learn things you don't need to know. You will complete assessments not by studying, but by providing evidence of your current competency.
To find out what that all means, please contact us for more information.
