Safety Labs by Slice is a podcast where we explore the human side of safety to support safety professionals. We move past regulations and reportables to talk about the core skills of safety leadership: empathy, influence, trust, rapport. In other words, the soft skills that help you do the hard stuff.

<p>In this episode, we’re conducting a thorough investigation of the different theories and frameworks Safety professionals can adopt to keep their co-workers safe.</p><p>There’s been a palpable shift in attitudes towards workplace safety over recent years, with multiple more-human-centred approaches emerging.

<p>In this episode, Mary Conquest speaks with Greg Smith, an international award-winning author and qualified lawyer who has spent more than two decades specializing in Safety and Health management. Greg is also regarded as a leading provider of Safety training, particularly in the areas of management responsibilities and contractor safety management.</p><p>Describing himself as ‘Safety agnostic’, Greg doesn’t care how HSE professionals approach Workplace Safety - he just wants to help you be effective. However, he knows how challenging this can be and explains why Safety is a ‘wicked problem’ that is essentially unsolvable.</p><p>Gregs discusses the impact of legal frameworks on Safety Management and shares real-life examples of the unintended consequences of the criminalization of Safety.</p><p>Safety processes and measurement are the key themes of this fascinating conversation, as Greg highlights where the profession has become disconnected from its purpose and how this can be addressed.</p><p>Greg’s highly acclaimed book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Paper-Safe-triumph-bureaucracy-management-ebook/dp/B07HVRZY8C">Paper Safe</a></p><p><br></p><p>Greg recommends the following podcasts:</p><ul><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/">Safety Labs by Slice</a></li><li><a href="https://safetyofwork.com/">The Safety of Work</a></li><li><a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/speakec">Speak</a></li><li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4xs4Khsh9Enz8Lhlm3LOz0">Rebranding Safety</a></li></ul><p>Also this subscription service: <a href="https://www.ohsalert.com.au/">OHS Alert | Premium Workplace health and safety news</a></p><p><br></p><p>And Ben Hutchinson’s research: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/benhutchinson2/">Ben Hutchinson | LinkedIn</a></p><p><br></p><p>Greg Smith on LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-smith-6a63449/">Greg Smith | LinkedIn</a></p><p><br></p><p>Safety Labs is created by Slice, the only safety knife on the market with a finger-friendly® blade.

<p>In this episode, we’re conducting a thorough investigation of Safety metrics to help HSE practitioners measure (and manage) the factors that most accurately reflect Safety performance.</p><p>We’ve compiled a collection of thoughts, opinions and ideas about safety data, analysis and reporting from 19 of our previous guests discussing various aspects of this diverse and divisive subject.</p><p>Many question the existing reliance on lagging indicators and proxy KPIs, while the value of Zero Harm initiatives is particularly challenged.</p><p>But what are the alternatives? Are they easily quantifiable, will they satisfy senior leaders, and where does psychological safety fit into this discussion?</p><p>This Safety Measurement special features multiple perspectives on these crucial questions from experienced HSE professionals, consultants, authors and academics. We can’t promise definitive answers, but it will help you come to your own conclusions about Safety metrics - and how they can best keep your co-workers safe.</p><p><br>Featured guests (in order of appearance):</p><ul><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/a-human-centric-approach-to-safety-management">Tim D’Ath (Episode 61):</a> Measuring the wrong things in Safety</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/managing-complexity-in-workplace-safety">Bob Edwards (Episode 53):</a> Safety metrics need context</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/connecting-risk-management-with-psychosocial-safety">Joelle Mitchell (Episode 75):</a> The problem with proxy Safety measurements</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/humanizing-safety-rules">Christian Hunt (Episode 68):</a> Measure the Safety outcome - not the input.</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/the-key-component-of-workplace-safety-trust">Clive Lloyd (Episode 44)</a>: Safety KPIs that undermine trust</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/safety-lessons-from-high-reliability-organizations">Jodi Goodall (Episode 67):</a> Understanding Safety metrics is crucial</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/the-impact-of-technology-on-workplace-safety">Cameron Stevens (Episode 62):</a> Health and Safety data sucks</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/learning-from-normal-safety-work">Brent Sutton (Episode 60):</a> Looking at Safety data differently</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/embracing-new-approaches-to-workplace-safety">Stephen Scott (Episode 28):</a> The trap of Zero Harm</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/developing-successful-safety-management-systems">Dr Nektarios Karanikas (Episode 08):</a> Asking the right questions to evaluate Safety</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/how-to-support-workplace-psychological-safety">Dr Peter Brace (Episode 73):</a> Can you measure Psychological Safety?</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/the-importance-of-interpersonal-skills-in-safety-management">Stephan Wiedner (Episode 69):</a> Measuring Psychological Safety</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/safetys-bad-habits">Murray Ritchie (Episode 72):</a> Unhelpful Safety incentivization</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/implementing-new-view-safety-methods-and-philosophies">Moni Hogg (Episode 39):</a> Measuring the impact of new Safety approaches</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/connected-conversations-for-safer-workplaces">Angelina Badri (Episode 50)</a>: A bad way to measure good Safety performance</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/the-importance-of-people-skills-in-safety-management">Jerry Smith (Episode 06):</a> Measuring the adoption of Safety procedures</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/subaquatic-safety-lessons">Gareth Lock (Episode 43):</a> The fallacy of using lagging indicators</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/the-end-to-end-process-of-safety-culture-change">Kym Bancroft (Episode 05):</a> Alternative Safety metrics</li><li><a href="https://safetylabs.sliceproducts.com/episode/leading-from-the-middle-to-enhance-workplace-safety">Mikel Bowman (Episode 51):</a> Perfection doesn’t exist in Safety management</li></ul><p>Safety Labs is created by Slice, the only safety knife on the market with a finger-friendly® blade.
