Safety Re-crafted Workshop
Collaborate on a positive direction for safety

Is there a better way to do safety?
Safety has become about meeting expectations – doing what everyone else is doing. What if it was about discovery, learning, and trying new things instead?
The Safety Re-crafted workshop series is designed to bring Health & Safety professionals together to collaborate on a positive direction for WHS.
This meaningful and practical 1-day workshop will have you making immediate progress on the challenges you are currently facing in your Health & Safety role.

What to expect
A safety event like no other
Unlike other safety seminars or short courses, this 1 day workshop is designed to inspire change – exploring issues you are interested in with likeminded people sharing the same challenges.
A practical, hands-on workshop
Working with a group, you’ll re-craft a chosen area of safety practice resulting in tangible, immediate actions – learning from each other’s experience of what works to unlock new pathways forward.
New perspectives & connections
As well as building new connections on the day, the event is a gateway to a vibrant online community of safety practitioners that you can tap into any time for support and guidance on specific challenges.
About the facilitator
Daniel Hummerdal
Southpac International Group’s Director of Safety Innovation
Initially trained as a pilot before re-training as a psychologist, Daniel’s career has taken him all over the world, working in Sweden, France, the UK, US and more recently across Australia and New Zealand, focusing on the role of humans in safety and organisational improvement.
Daniel began the Safety Re-crafted series in New Zealand, and is now bringing it to Australia to broaden the network and build on the impact these events have on introducing positive change in safety and other areas of operations.

How can we create Health and Safety practices that work for everyone?
Using the diverse perspectives in the room on the day, and the work of previous events, we build a collective direction to progress towards, collaborating around the specific practice areas that subgroups of people agree to focus on. These are some of the safety practices that past participants have focused on re-crafting:
Risk Assessments
How can we engage frontline expertise to understand the ability to perform tasks successfully?
Audits
How can auditing become a more effective tool for organisational learning?
Toolbox Talks
How can we create meaningful engagement and participation around the things that matter to people?
Onboarding & Inductions
What might help new starters successfully navigate the organisation and sites they come to?
Policies & Procedures
How can we craft meaningful prompts that guide the work we do?
Safety Alerts
How can new insights get to the right people quickly, without overloading them?
Incident Reporting
How do we generate greater sharing of what is happening at work?
PPE
How do we enable adequate PPE use?
Safety Observations
How can we turn observations into a discovery and learning opportunity?
Critical Risk Management
How can we assess and improve the effectiveness of critical controls?

Key takeaway
Micro-experiments
During the workshop, you will develop your own micro-experiments, allowing you to discover what works, by using a quick, light, yet robust approach.
Generate evidence
Create a point of difference by nudging the system through fail safe tests, and monitor the impact to build support for new approaches as you go.
Aim for the pragmatic
Experimenting at the edge of an issue, you can change small things within your span of control without requiring permission.
Provoke an appetite for change
Shift the conversation around what people think safety practices should and could look like, and expand the range of solutions that are possible.
Keep the collaboration going, post-event
When the workshop ends, the collaboration doesn’t. Continue to ask questions, share challenges and offer advice in the exclusive online community, COLAB, lead by participants of this series.
