Safety CAP: Webinar 4 - Creating the Conditions for Honesty

Safety Capability Advancement Programme brought to you by Georgina Poole

Trust, Psychological Safety & Safe Dialogue

Workers often know far more about risk, than they feel safe saying.

This webinar helps you understand the subtle cues that encourage or shut down honesty — such as body language, tone, past experiences, and organisational signals about blame or consequence. You will see why people sometimes withhold information and what you can do, as a safety professional or leader, to create an environment where employees feel comfortable sharing what really matters.

This session is essential if you want deeper insight into operational reality and stronger relationships with frontline teams.

You’ll learn practical strategies for building and maintaining trust, even in challenging conversations or when emotions run high. 

You’ll understand how to create conversational conditions that reduce anxiety and enable genuine dialogue. 

By applying these techniques, you’ll begin to transform safety discussions into opportunities for learning, connection, and problem-solving, building a culture where workers are more willing to speak up early — when the organisation can still act. 

These capabilities lead directly into the co-design skills in the next webinar.
