Just Toolbox it!
How often have you heard this term in risk and safety? It seems to be the key way we address safety concerns including incidents, hazards, a ‘safety alert’ or a ‘safety share’
When we only communicate in a one dimensional way, through ‘telling’ rather than engaging, we limit the opportunity to understand the views of others and whether people discern risks themselves.
I’d love to hear about your experiences.

It’s only when we take time out to reflect, that we can open our minds to new learning which can help make us make sense of things.
It’s amazing how good conversations can be when you don’t have an agenda. When your goal is simply to get to ‘know’ people you can learn a lot. If you want to really understand what happens in your organisation, Conversation Corner could be the go!
Happy to have a chat about how we went about things.

For a while now the the risk and safety industry has pushed for a move from lag indicators to positive indicators, but does this really make a difference? Here are some thoughts on what measuring does to people and organisations. Love to hear your thoughts.
