The University of Sydney Page 1 ENGG5103 Safety Systems & Risk Analysis Week 11 – Creating Positive & “Just” Safety Cultures Dr. Rod Fiford School of AMME https://www.workplacetesting.com/8-signs-your-workplace-has-a-positive-safety-culture/2/5535

The University of Sydney Page 2 A “Just” Safety Culture refresher (From week 7) – Idea of a “Just” safety culture – ‘Justice’, no ‘blame’ – Blame should only be assigned to those who have been reckless or clearly negligent – Likely that managerial decisions might be the underlying root cause of many incidents – Develop and apply the “Just” culture at all levels 2 Roadmap to a Just Culture: Enhancing the Safety Culture. 2004, Global Aviation Safety Network

The University of Sydney Page 3 Just Culture Reporting (from week 7) – Need to improve the level and quality of safety reporting – Need to ensure that the work force is not afraid to report issues, near misses etc. – Need to establish trust with workers – Leads to a reporting culture that leads to a learning culture 3

The University of Sydney Page 4 Just Culture Benefits (from week 7) – Benefits of a Just work culture over a blame culture – Increased reporting of safety issues – Increased development of trust relationship – Earlier detection of potential hazards – More effective safety and operational management – Bring together various sections of the workforce collaboratively; that might otherwise not have frequent contact and influence on decisions and policy making – Enhances the trust relationship 4

The University of Sydney Page 5 Key Points of a Just Safety Culture – People are not a problem to control  they are a solution to harness – Define safety as presence of positive capacities, NOT as an absence of negatives – “Zero vision” on safety is a good moral goal, however it can also have negative practical consequences: – Suppression of negative events and bad news – Stigmatization of people involved in incidents – Inefficient use of investigative resources – Inverse correlation between low numbers of incidents and fatality risk – Having (or reporting) few incidents can lead to higher fatalities – External safety consultants can be good solutions to safety, but there is also likely to be a lot of ‘hidden’ talent within an organisation Source: Dekker, 2015.
