Take-aways from this year’s Task Force Zero safety conference

Written by Lisbeth Holberg on 20. June 2019. Posted in News

Did you miss the annual safety conference, Task Force Zero, in Esbjerg – last week, May 2nd? It is an event I always make room for. Oil Gas Denmark and their staff make a huge effort in organising inspiring speakers and making a platform for networking.

This year I was part of one of the panel sessions, to talk about how the Oil & Gas industry compares to other industries when it comes to work with safety & leadership. Watch the session here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=411&v=g7SlSR3wqNo

This year I found Brendan Hall particular interesting. I really like and support his message of creating a space where people can talk openly and honestly about mistakes, doubts, any kind of issue, and that this is how we create incident free workplaces.

“Does stress have anything to do with safety?”

Written by Lisbeth Holberg on 27. September 2017. Posted in News

Right now we’re facilitating a serie of workshops to make safety relevant and concrete for people, who are almost never in ‘the field’, for a company with lots of people at the ‘sharp end’ every day. Some of the things they talk about are role models, travel policy, contracts, new markets, cultural differences, reverse parking and safety induction for guests. And then this question is often asked at some point during the workshop:

“Can we talk about stress today – or does that not have anything to do with safety?” That is a really good question – how would you answer this?

Often people based in the office find it difficult to relate to safety. They want to help “do better on safety” but what exactly are they expected to do? Where exactly can they make a difference? In these workshops they assess their culture in relation to the Safety Culture Ladder, and we facilitate discussions where they find tangible and conrete areas where they can make a difference for safety.

The workshops are based on the “Hearts & Minds” tool “Understanding Your Culture”. Read more about the “Hearts & Minds” toolbox here >>
