| About Us |
Mission
To help organisations get to zero incidents and accidents and to stay there longer,
by using straightforward exercise and discussions on safety behaviours.
How we work
We believe that most people are reasonably intelligent, try hard for safety and know
the right thing to do.. Therefore, lectures and shock tactics are not effective. Based on
hard-won, real-life experience, we expose people to scenarios and case studies that
make them think. When you debate and argue and think enough, you are confronted
with your own resistance to doing what is right. This helps people change for long
term benefit.
We make things simple and practical and stay away from the “guru-speak”. Yes, we
have tools which a proven to be successful but we take the time to adapt them to your
industry, your organisation and your people. We also make our sessions enjoyable!
For senior managers we give insights that go a bit deeper and explain the rationale
behind a behavioural approach.
The tools
At this website you’ll find a range of specific tools. However, they all fall under one
of three headings
Systems – we help you ensure that your risk assessment and safety
observations systems are working well.
Culture – reduce the fear factor and safety will show an amazing improvement
People – there are 5 behavioural traps and we have several ways of showing
people how to avoid them – from full blown 4-hour
workshops to 2-hour start-up meeting sessions and 45- minute talks for
senior managers.
Our expert facilitators
Dr Bill Robb
Since 1995, using simple psychological approaches, Bill has developed, perhaps
more than any other individual or organisation, a range of innovative and unique
practical behavioural safety tools that get to the heart of the matter. He devised the
Behavioural Safety Workshop. In four hours this helps people become more
aware, reduce unintentional pressure and fight the fear factor. He developed the
Second Mind® technique for helping people to concentrate better at the worksite.
He also thought out The Safety Risk Tolerance Survey that helps people assess
whether or not their attitude to safety is likely to hurt them. Dr Bill founded and
edits the free electronic newsletter www.safetybriefing.com.
Bill particularly enjoys working with senior management teams to help them clarify
their safety strategy and build safety into the business plan. He also enjoys the high-
level debates during with senior colleagues come to realise what a power impact
their behaviours can have on improving safety culture.
