Description

Transforming incident investigation in safety-critical industries. Psychosocial risks are ever-present in safety-critical industries, impacting physical and psychological safety and inhibiting organisational learning. This novel project will characterise investigation trauma as a new and insidious class of hazard, and identify ways to tackle investigations in safety-critical industries that would lead to improved safety and less traumatisation. Outcomes of this interdisciplinary project will provide government and decision-makers with evidence to support uptake of strategies that promote both physical and psychosocial safety. It will provide significant benefits for the many working Australians who start their day fearful of incidents and end it fearful of investigation if something goes wrong.. Scheme: ARC Future Fellowships. Field: 5201 - Applied and Developmental Psychology. Lead: Prof Anjum Naweed
