Safety Decision Making: Overcoming Human Nature

Safety, and safe decision making, often goes against human nature. We are frequently tempted to take a path of least resistance, opting to perform something quickly rather than safely. However, it is vital that the most important thing on your mind while at work is safety, and not ease or convenience. This Video On Demand training addresses how exactly safety can run against human nature, as well as what we can do to make sure we remain safe while working.

We all can agree safety is a good thing. However, many people think they, and others, will remain safe just because it is the right thing to do. This is incorrect. Oftentimes we opt to do something the easy way instead of the safe way. This training lesson teaches you what affects this decision making process, including workplace dynamics and your various mental states. Utilize the information here and learn how to always make the safe decision.
