From Measuring Safety to Managing Change in High-Risk Industries

Human Factors and Safety Management Systems Workshop

19 May 2005

University of South Australia

Brookman Hall, City East Campus

The management of safety in high-risk industries relies on the nexus of sound data analysis and effective management processes. Traditional approaches to safety management emphasise the collection of safety-related data through the documentation and analysis of hazards, the reporting of incidents, and investigation of accidents. A plethora of data collection and analysis tools are now available to support this core safety management function.

However, the effective management of change depends on a wide array of complex organisational processes. These management processes, and the organisational culture which underpins them, provide the real framework for safety management in high-risk industries.

This workshop will explore the evolutionary growth of safety management from the perspective of data-driven change and integrated management systems. The workshop is designed for safety professionals across a wide range of industries including transport, defence, mining, production, and health-care. It will provide new insights into cutting edge research and processes designed to ensure safety management systems remain resilient to ongoing organisational risk.
