Much of what is “new” in safety has not been proven to make any difference to safety performance, some of it possibly making it worse. Our aim is to use legitimate science to explore ways to help improve safety and move beyond just fixing the environment or improving the system or making safety more conscious.These three approaches helped us improve safety and brought us to where we are today, but they are struggling to help us improve further.In the Safety Frontiers Podcast, our focus is to explore novel ways of thinking about safety: using different approaches to make systems more effective, strengthen safety culture, and take a deep dive into the discoveries and insights gained from neurobiology and brain research over the last 5 years. This will be new information to many. We know disruptive thinking challenges long-held beliefs and accepted norms. As such, it could be confronting for some. However, significant improvements tend to come from new perspectives and that is what we are interested in.We do not advocate one approach over another, we are here to explore new safety frontiers, to ensure that we are using everything available to help people with safety.
In Episode 6 of the Safety Frontiers Podcast, we explore the crucial role leaders play in successful behavioural change programmes. The latest neuroscience shows human behaviour is not determined only by the conscious mind. The subconscious mind plays an important and significant role through skills and habits. Leaders need to understand how to deal with both minds effectively if they are going to influence their people’s behaviour to be safer. In other words, since behaviour is a whole...

Ep5. The Problem With Psychology In Safety
In Episode 5 of the Safety Frontiers Podcast - The Problem With Psychology In Safety - we continue the theme of the mind and run the ‘science ruler’ over psychology and explore its effectiveness with safety. We’ll also journey along what paths are available for us to influence behaviour, in a positive, non-blame, no fault, non-threatening way, and reveal those paths we should be traversing.

Ep4. The Neuroscience Of Inattention
In Episode 4 of the Safety Frontiers Podcast - The Neuroscience Of Inattention - we discuss ‘the neuroscience of inattention’. In the last 10 years or so, brain science has been looking inside our heads with an explicit aim of improving our understanding of why we do what we do.

Ep2. The Evolution Of Safety
On Episode 2 of the Safety Frontiers Podcast - The Evolution Of Safety - we look at the evolution of safety; from the 80’s to the 90’s, from ‘eliminating the hazard’ to ‘keeping safety front of mind’. Each of these were a step in the right direction, but incidents were still happening.

Ep1. Using Science In Safety
In our first episode of the Safety Frontiers Podcast, we focus the lens on using real science in safety and take a deep dive into the discoveries and insights gained from brain research over the last 5-10 years. Join Cristian Sylvestre and David Pope as we look at how we can improve safety by using real science, not junk science or pseudoscience. If you like the status quo in safety, give it a miss. However, if you like shaking the safety tree to get better fruit, please join us. You w...
