Safety Differently: An Audience with Sidney Dekker
We are sold out! Stay tuned for another series in the new year!
in partnership with the Australian Institute of Health & Safety (AIHS)
what is safety differently?
Safety Differently turns safety back into an ethical responsibility, instead of a mere bureaucratic accountability that supplies optimistic numbers to managers, boards and regulators. It doesn’t just want to stop things from going wrong, but discovers why things go well. Safety Differently helps you recognize and enhance the capacities in your people, your team and processes that make it so.
Join best selling author, academic and provocative speaker Sidney Dekker to learn why conventional approaches to safety and human factors are no longer equipped to cope with today’s fast moving world of work.
the program.
The Safety Differently Program is divided into 8 weeks with 4 live sessions, starting with the pre-work for module 1 on the 11th of October.
learn with us.
There will be two options available for each live session, so you can select whichever fits your schedule the best. Your chosen sittings must be submitted at the time of registration.
Module 1 Live Session - Human Error.
This live interactive workshop will be presented as a 90 minute session. You will learn about the cultural backdrop against which goals of ‘zero harm’ have arisen. You will become familiar with the unintended consequences for organisational behaviour, the emergence of risk secrecy and organisational learning disabilities, and worker cynicism.
Module 2 Live Session - Understanding Risk Management.
This live interactive workshop will be presented as a 90 minute session.
You will learn how to prevent drift into failure and create the ‘right’ culture. You will develop the critical skills to evaluate organisational interventions for their appropriateness defined as the match between the model chosen and the problem to be solved.
Module 3 Live Session - Safety Differently Theory and Literature.
This live interactive workshop will be presented as a 90 minute session. This session will explain the differences between traditional Safety and Safety Differently (between Safety I and Safety II). You will be able to distinguish internal compliance requirements from regulatory demands.
Module 4 Live Session - A Restorative Just Culture.
This live interactive workshop will be presented as a 90 minute session. You will be challenged to look at ‘accountability’ in different ways. You will distinguish between retributive and restorative models of Just Culture. You will be prompted to identify impacts, needs and obligations resulting from an incident. By the end of it, you will be able to describe accountability in restorative terms, including its relation to openness, honesty, forgiveness and learning.

Sidney Dekker
Sidney Dekker (PhD Ohio State University, USA, 1996) is Professor and Director of the Safety Science Innovation Lab at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia, and Professor at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University in the Netherlands.
Sidney has lived and worked in seven countries across four continents and won worldwide acclaim for his groundbreaking work in human factors and safety. He coined the term 'Safety Differently' in 2012, which has since turned into a global movement for change. It encourages organisations to declutter their bureaucracy and set people free to make things go well and to offer compassion, restoration and learning when they don't.
An avid pilot of planes large and small, he has been flying the Boeing 737 as an airline pilot on the side.
Sidney is the bestselling author of, most recently: Foundations of Safety Science; The Safety Anarchist; The End of Heaven; Just Culture; Safety Differently; The Field Guide to Understanding 'Human Error'; Second Victim; Drift into Failure; and Patient Safety. He has directed the documentaries 'Safety Differently,' 2017; 'Just Culture,' 2018, 'The Complexity of Failure,' 2018, and 'Doing Safety Differently,' 2019.
His work has over 12,200 citations and an h-index of 47. More at sidneydekker.com
