Measurement of safety capability: Development of a new tool for Queensland industry
10:30 AM - 10:50 AMPromotional description
The modern workplace is fraught with constant change, complexity, and task interdependence. Innovation is urgently required to ensure that safety science keeps pace with these changing environmental conditions. Safety capability is one concept that has shown considerable promise in this area. In this presentation, I will outline the details of existing safety capability measures, with a focus on their shortfalls, and then turn to potential alternative concepts and explain why they are not suitable and why a new safety capability measure (the MOSC) is required.
Learning outcomes
At the conclusion of this event, attendees will be able to:
- Understand contemporary methods of scale development.
- Know the nature and operationalisation of safety capability and enabling capitals.
- Use the MOSC to measure safety capability in their workplace.
- Understand contemporary methods of scale development.
- Know the nature and operationalisation of safety capability and enabling capitals.
- Use the MOSC to measure safety capability in their workplace.
