Rail Safety Week webinar: Bridging the gap between human vulnerability and worksite safety

Jules Reed is Head of Behavioural Science at award-winning tech start-up Tended. She is skilled in bringing psychology and technology together to improve workplace safety and prevent accidents.

Jules is passionate about improving employee experiences through safety, well-being and leadership enhancement. She has previously led culture and behavioural change programmes at HS2, Interserve and Balfour Beatty.

As part of Rail Safety Week 2023, Jules will host this webinar exploring how we can bridge the gap between human vulnerability and worksite safety.

An expert in human behaviour, Jules takes a deep dive into the psychology of why people make mistakes. As humans, we are fallible, and that means no matter how well-trained or well-motivated workers are, mistakes and accidents will inevitably still happen.

Uncovering the psychology behind this emphasises that relying on human behaviour alone to control risk is guaranteed to fail. And in high-pressure, high-risk work environments the consequences of this can be devastating.

So what do we do to mitigate this?

Technology has driven perpetual change to create a fourth industrial revolution. Now, it’s making its way into the health and safety space and is becoming increasingly commonplace. It provides a reasonably practicable solution for creating safer, more efficient work environments. However, with 70% of change initiatives failing in the workplace, transforming the safety of workers with new technology can be challenging.

But in this webinar, Jules will explain how, with the right tools, organisations can reduce the risk of human error to instil sustainable safety change onsite. And with the right approach, leaders can bridge the gap between human vulnerability and worksite safety to help end preventable accidents and ensure workers return home safely – every day.
