Are you in a safety role or overseeing a

safety team?

Safety roles are one of the hardest roles in an organisation. Every person in the company is a stakeholder, there are lots of differing expectations and you have next to no decision-making responsibility for how work happens. It’s these reasons that might make you feel unsure and under-skilled about how best to approach your role.

We know that people in the safety profession come from diverse backgrounds and more than 40% of safety professionals have no formal training in safety. This diversity is helpful for the profession, but it also creates large differences in capability and role performance. These differences in how safety professionals perform their role, and how managers and workers think it should be performed, create confusion when it comes to the role of safety professionals in our workplaces.

Everyone agrees that safer work outcomes are necessary, it’s just not always clear the role that safety professionals play in this… Safety Futures is here to address that.

As you progress through the 15 weeks, you’ll study, develop and strengthen five core capabilities:

Course Content There really is no point going any further in your role,

or the program until you know how to create influence for yourself within your organisation. Your role as a safety professional doesn’t make the key decisions in your organisation that influence the safety of work, so instead to make progress on safety you need others to listen to your advice. In this level we will cover how to effectively build relationships, use humble inquiry, coach others and have those difficult conversations in a constructive way.

This is the next place to go once you have the capability to influence others. You need to understand the key safety risks faced by the people in your organisation and how these risks are effectively mitigated. Effective safety professionals have an expert understanding of operational risk management. In this level we will cover the psychology of risk, risk assessment, risk reduction processes including ALARP or SFARP demonstration, as well as control effectiveness.

HOW TO

3 Managing Work

After you create your influence and get on top of the critical safety risks in your organisation, the next capability you need is to be able to design and implement reliable safety and work management processes. We generally refer to these as your Safety Management System. This is the collection of commitments, standards, practices and procedures executed and followed by others in your organisation. In this level we will cover the design of management systems, effective ways to prescribe work procedures, what to do about safety clutter and what does insightful assurance really looks like.

HOW TO

4 Leading Change

You’ve already been leading change for a while now in your role and on this program. And since you’ve built your influence, got on top of your risk issues and designed and implemented effective organisational practices, now it’s time to learn how to be strategic. This is generally what your organisation is really looking for you to do, to lead them on the next step-change improvement in safety. In this level we will cover how to diagnose improvement opportunities in your organisation, how to design and build a strategy based on these opportunities, how to manage the change, and how to measure and evaluate the improvements.

HOW TO

5 Facilitating Learning

With all the spare time you have in your role – now that you have the capability to influence, manage the risks, manage the safety system and lead change – a core part of your role becomes facilitating individual and organisational learning. In this level, we will cover how to understand and share insights about work, learn from incidents, facilitate team-based learning processes, and address the final million-dollar question, how to effectively measure and monitor safety performance.

Following the development of these 5 core capabilities and the 20 critical skills underneath them, the program concludes with learner’s developing a plan for their future – both for the performance of their role and for their continuous learning. You will make commitments to David and others about the changes

that you will make in the performance of your role. You will also design for yourself a twelve-month continuous learning plan. This will ensure that your upward trajectory of learning and role effectiveness created during the program continues well beyond its conclusion.

Each week you’ll watch short video lectures delivered by David, work through reading material and participate in learning groups, which will then lead you to complete a series of practical missions related to the five core capabilities and 20 critical skills.

Each mission invites you to put theory into action, that week, in your workplace. Once you’ve completed each mission, you will reflect on your experience individually and with your program peers in live webinars. There’s 24/7 learning support available as well as 7 individual 2-hour interactive webinars led by David Provan.

The content in this program has been compiled from two decades of David’s professional practice experience combined with the insights from his doctoral research: What is the role of a safety professional? The identity, practice and future of the profession. The content is deeply instructional with easy to understand ideas and loaded with practical examples.

This essential industry professional development tprogram offers you a chance to develop real-world confidence and capabilities gleaned from experience in the field, which you will be able to embed into your current role today. Following the program, you’ll be invited to join a dedicated Alumni LinkedIn group with exclusive access to ongoing support and content.

If you’re ready to commit 3-5 hours a week and join an active community of learners, all focused on improving the safety of work – this immersive program is for you!
