Near-Misses are Telling You Something – Are You Listening?

We’ve all experienced near-misses outdoors, but how often do we take the time to harvest the potential learning from these experiences? What happens if we repeatedly ignore the “cheap lessons” near-misses offer to us? How can we tell the difference between a “relevant” near-miss, and “business as usual?” This  interactive workshop will explore theory and research on near-misses as “accident precursors,” share poignant examples from the presenter’s personal experience, suggest specific organizational steps to convert near-misses into learning, and equip participants to apply these concepts to their own organizations.

Safety Differently – Using Safety Science to Manage Risk

Traditional views of safety are deeply ingrained in how we talk about, measure, and attempt to manage risk in the outdoor/experiential education industry. Scholars and researchers from sectors such as manufacturing, aeronautical, health care, occupational health and safety, etc. have evolved in their thinking and are making great strides in an approach known as Safety Differently––a progressive way of thinking about safety. We will use videos, small discussion groups, and interactive elements to make the concepts engaging and relevant to your program. Participants will come away with a one-page handout and outline of key action steps to apply a Safety Differently lens to their own program.

Just Culture – Balancing Safety and Accountability in Your Organization

It has been said that “culture eats strategy for breakfast.” Learn how to foster cultural norms that empower employees to candidly discuss their concerns and proactively report on risks, incidents, and more. Shift from a blame-oriented culture to one focused on collective learning that analyzes and addresses harm from a systems perspective. How do we balance organizational safety with personal accountability? What pitfalls should we avoid in reviewing incident data, or investigating a serious incident? What is the difference between a retributive Just Culture and a restorative one?
