Traditional safety controls focus on physical barriers and procedures. But what if we’re overlooking a key layer of defence?
Psychological safety is often seen as a cultural “nice-to-have,” but its absence can undermine every aspect of risk management.
Join Dr. Vanessa Cook as she explores a bold idea: treating psychological safety as a critical control in its own right.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Why psychological safety is essential for High-Reliability Organisations (HROs)
- How it strengthens your existing Critical Control Management (CCM) systems
- The risks of ignoring the human factors behind hazard reporting and adaptation
- Practical steps to embed psychological safety in your critical risk approach
- How to create conditions that prevent escalation – not just respond to it
Because the strongest safety systems rely on more than just procedures – they rely on people.
