Queensland Mining Industry Health & Safety Conference’s Post

Stressed? You're not alone! But what if I told you there's a technique that can melt stress away in minutes? It's called Havening, and today I'm breaking it down for you. #stressmanagement #haveningtechnique #drbuzzmingin #stresscoach

When working in construction, employee fatigue can be fatal. The tragedy that struck Lance Orr is heartbreaking; his death was preventable. Please watch and share for awareness of the dangers of working very long shifts while exhausted. https://lnkd.in/giWyeeiY #constructionworkers #safety #fatiguehazards #occupationalsafety #fatigueaffectsdecisionmaking #ohs #safetyforconstructionworkers

In some of their most vulnerable and fear-driven moments, recently injured employees are being asked to provide details about what happened to them and why it happened. What I believe we are trying to identify in these moments (aka accident investigations) are the environmental conditions, individual factors, or organizational practices that "caused" the incident, so they can be mitigated. When done correctly, these "investigations" should produce meaningful lagging indicators, allowing for a more specific cause of loss to be identified. Often a key piece in the accident investigation process, we need our supervisors to understand 1) How important they are 2) The role that stress and fear plays in the lives of their supervises 3) The role that stress and fear plays in their own lives. Maybe this will help create more empathetic, connected, and valuable interactions. Feel free to contact me at Brad@movement.team to discuss further

Are you familiar with #impostorsyndrome? If you are, you have felt the persistent #doubt gnawing at your #confidence, convincing you that you're not as capable or deserving as others believe you to be. What's more, you might be struggling to internalize your success attributing it to external factors or sheer luck. But there's so much #light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to #impostorsyndrome. Understanding the #rootcauses for it and getting the #rightstrategies are the first steps to #overcoming #impostorsyndrome. In my last article on Brainz Magazine I explain what #impostorsyndrome is, causes, #triggers, and how to #tackle it. I hope you like it and comment if so inspired 😉

LEST WE FORGET    I am (so far as other constraints permit) making a daily post of process and other safety events which have happened on that day in previous years.  I will intersperse these with mental health and safety incidents, since my twin passions are process safety and mental health and safety.    This is to promote thinking and is based on the theory that, by and large, we don't invent new ways of killing people: we fail to adequately learn from the mistakes of the past.    On this day (12th August) in 2020, the Stonehaven rail disaster occurred.  https://lnkd.in/e5xZxTJU What can your organisation learn from this? (Which event could have been learned from to avert this disaster?) Have you read my books “HAZOP Questions”, “HAZID Questions” and “Let’s talk about mental health and safety?”

Your Biggest Problem Isn’t the One Screaming for Your Attention Right Now. Can You Relate? Here’s a hard truth: Just because something feels urgent doesn’t mean it deserves your attention. I’ve learned this the hard way. Think about it: how many times have you dropped everything to solve someone else’s emergency, only to realize it wasn’t really your priority? Stop being a firefighter for other people’s chaos. Your energy is your most valuable asset, and there’s no faster way to burn out than letting everyone else’s problems hijack it. Learn to guard it. Ruthlessly. If it’s not moving your needle, it’s not your fire to put out.

Lead with a firefighter mentality. You're the one responsible for extinguishing the problems within your business. However, don't let this harsh truth burn you out. Remember to: Pause Breathe Analyze And make the proper adjustments to smother the fire.

What are the signs that you might need to prioritize self-rescue in your own life? Check out this video I created that shares the signs AND what you're really craving instead. :) https://lnkd.in/gqMn8Ky4
