Join this branch meeting where Dan Davis will present on critical risk and energy based safety.

Defining the problem

• Health risk remains misunderstood and underestimated
• Minor injuries have reduced but serious injuries and fatalities (SIF) have stayed the same or increased
• Traditional measures are misleading and incomplete

Exploring solutions

• De-emphasise the risk matrix – real risk is determined by exposure to uncontrolled energy sources and the presence and effectiveness of controls
• Re-define controls – direct controls and enablers
• Focus on how the controls work in the real world – acts, objects and engineered systems
• Re-position health and safety as the presence of effective controls
• Re-imagine the hierarchy of control
• Re-think how to monitor and measure performance

Lite afternoon tea will be provided.
