The Science of Safety: Exploring Human Factors

Human factors reflect the way our brains are wired and how we perceive and interact with the world around us. They affect our ability to make sound decisions, blinding us to the hazards when we think we’re being safe. They are a key factor in worker safetyperformance, which is why it is important to be aware of their potential impact on the decisions and actions we, our colleagues, and our teams, make every day to keep each other safe.  

Join this PowerCast to hear from Rob Jozwiak, Enbridge, and Robert Waterhouse, Energy Safety Canada, as they review common human factors, including limitations, processes, and behaviors, and how they impact clean energy field operations. This session will demonstrate the critical role human behavior plays in safety and share strategies to promote a culture of safety within your organization. 

During this PowerCast, attendees will learn: 

·       The role of human factors and what they seek to address 

·       How human factors present themselves on clean energy sites 

·       General tactics that can be employed to address human factors that impact safety performance.
