11 Business Leaders’ Health & Safety Forum: Annual Report September 2017
Foreword – Chair and Executive Director Learning from ‘normal’ work and learning to let go
‘Leading complex organisations to be safe and healthy requires a new toolkit of capabilities and practices.’
Over the last year, the Forum has introduced members to an additional ‘tool for the kit’ in leading safer, healthier and more productive businesses – Safety II thinking. Safety II represents a significant shift in the way health and safety is approached. It offers leaders some powerful new levers to improve performance in their organisations. For that reason, the Forum has focused on exposing members to this new concept during the last year. Safety II is based on the principle that variability is inevitable during the working day. So we need to give our people the tools, skills, systems and environments that will enable them to adapt to change efficiently and safely. Our people are making those adaptations successfully most days. Sometimes that’s because we’re providing them with the things they need to make this happen. Other times it’s despite what we’ve given them. This more expansive view challenges us to look at health and safety as more than just the absence of harm, but also as the presence of capacity for healthy and safe work to happen. At the October 2016 Summit, Safety II expert Daniel Hummerdal shared different techniques leaders can use to find out more about the adaptations taking place in their businesses, particularly by paying more attention to ‘normal’ work. He also provided practical questions leaders can use to test their business’ capacity for health and safety, so they can enable their people to cope with the realities of day-to-day work. Safety II concepts are also explored in our Executive Leadership Programme, which experienced strong levels of participation over the year for both our CEO and General Manager courses. A central theme developed in the programme is the capability to become more curious about the differences between work-as-imagined and work-as- done. These differences provide ‘weak signals of failure’, but also of success. At our May Summit, U.S human performance psychologist Dr Todd Conklin entertainingly, but with real impact, challenged us with the reality that failure of fatal risk controls is almost inevitable because both people and work conditions are variable. Consequently, CEOs need to ensure that their operations are able to ‘fail safely’, by ensuring their approach to managing risk includes effective recovery controls to protect people when something goes wrong.
12 www.zeroharm.org.nz
In August the originator of Safety II, Professor Erik Hollnagel, shared with us that this expanded focus on normal work must be built on solid foundations, good risk management and good incident investigations. Safety II is an additional tool, not an exclusive approach. Safety II themes also emerged from our two peer learning events this year. Landcorp/ Pāmu CEO Steve Carden shared his company’s journey of responding to a series of workplace fatalities. Landcorp’s experience underlines the importance of focusing on critical risks. But it also demonstrates that building front-line leadership capability is a core enabler to grow culture and empower people to work safely in highly variable environments like agriculture. Transpower CEO Alison Andrew’s story, about how her company improved contractor performance by working differently with its suppliers, affirmed that the most concrete way of respecting people (including contractors) isn’t telling them what to do. Rather it is by creating the space for the people doing the work to contribute to its design and execution. Sometimes the way to get better is to let go and enable others to show the way. Involving workers is a foundational pillar of Safety II. Our second annual CEO H&S Leadership Survey with Deloitte indicated CEOs understand the importance of involving workers in health and safety and believe their engagement programmes are effective. Despite that, they identify culture and work attitudes as the main barriers to improving health and safety. This suggests we need to challenge ourselves on not just how we’re engaging with our people, but why. As leaders we will never have all the answers. But Safety II helps us ask better questions and reminds us we need to direct those questions at the right people, our people. We would like to thank all Forum members for their ongoing support, as it enables us to bring thought leaders to New Zealand, identify and promote the experiences of our own leaders, and provide a national voice for safer, healthier and more productive New Zealand workplaces. We look forward to working with you again over the next year.
