Leading People To Use Their Brains As PPE
Presented by Cristian Sylvestre, Habitsafe
What’s covered?
The Problem
Leaders invest heavily in eliminating hazards, improving the safety systems and making safety more conscious by engaging people with conversations about safety.
During the last 50 years, these have helped improve safety significantly. We can’t do without them.
Today, we use these three approaches more than we have before, and we do it substantially better than ever before.
Yet, workplace fatalities in the Australia have stagnated since 2013, as have the number of incidents, even those with serious consequences.
So, do we continue to only do more of the same and hope the trend reverses?
We need to contemplate we might be missing something.
As safety professionals, we need to ask ourselves: Is there an innovation out there safety is failing to recognise and utilise?

Cristian’s 25-year safety career started in chemical manufacturing and then moved to the oil and gas industry. In this heavy processing environment, he quickly learned that there are different types of safety and different ways to think about each one. As a professional chemical engineer and having completed a Masters, he is trained to analyse complex problems and to use evidence-based science to deliver the simplest solutions that achieve positive safety outcomes.
His main field of interest is minimising inattention, something that is in play in 95% of incidents and traditional safety has largely ignored. He got interested in brain science about 15 years ago and wrote a book “Third Generation Safety: The Missing Piece – Using Neuroscience to Enable Personal Safety” to help people understand how inattention comes about and what we can be done about it.
