Three Main Brain Myths That Hinder Safety Performance

For over a decade, workplace fatalities and serious incidents have stubbornly plateaued—despite organisations investing more time, effort, and resources into safety than ever before. Is this really as good as it gets, or is there something we’re missing?
Join Cristian S, founder of HabitSafe, as he challenges conventional wisdom and uncovers the three biggest brain myths that could be limiting safety performance. Backed by the latest neuroscience research, this session will reveal how outdated beliefs about human behaviour may be holding safety back—and what we can do about it.
What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why traditional safety efforts aren’t delivering better results
✅ The three most common (and dangerous) brain myths in safety
✅ How to reshape our approach using neuroscience-backed insights

HabitsafeCristian’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 inattention, something that is in play in 95% of incidents and traditional safety has largely ignored.
He got interested in neuroscience 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 to minimise it.
