Innovation in action – simplifying safety through technology & engagement
New technologies, behavioural studies and changes in the workplace are leading to more efficient and productive ways to manage workplace OHS.
Examples of this, and advice on how to put it into practice, will be discussed at Central Safety Group’s lunchtime event on 14 July by Scott McMillan, Director of Safety at Melbourne Park.
Scott has a track record of modernising and simplifying safety in complex, high-risk environments and he will demonstrate some of the new and evolving technologies that are influencing health and safety practices.
He will show how to improve workforce engagement using practical and technology-focused approaches. This can help safety managers equip employees for both the present and a rapidly changing future.
Scott will also discuss how to streamline and declutter safety systems to improve clarity and frontline uptake.
