Colleagues,

 

I'm developing a course on the topic of organizational safety. Related topics include attention, mindfulness, mindful organizing, and sensemaking. Currently, I'm seeking exercises, activities, and cases pertinent to safety and its attendant topics. I'd very much appreciate any materials or suggestions you can provide.

 

Many thanks,

 

Erik

Eric - this is getting to be a very big topic.  Depending on what you mean by a "case" or "exercise", there are lots of things out there.  Books have been written about the major disasters (Anthony Hopkins writes one every year, or every disaster, whichever comes first) and some of the major reports have influenced entire industries (e.g., Piper Alpha).  I have written papers that describe cases or examples of incident investigations (Carroll, J. S., Rudolph, J. W. & Hatakenaka, S. (2002). Lessons learned from non-medical industries: Root cause analysis as culture change at a chemical plant. Quality and Safety in Health Care, 11, 266-9) and large-scale change efforts (Carroll & Hatekenaka Driving organizational change in the midst of crisis.  Sloan Management Review, 2001, 42, 70-7).  I have attached some teaching materials on the Millstone "case" as an example.  - John

Eric,

 

I've used several safety-related simulations and eLearning programs in my training and development courses that might be of interest to you.  I have students work through the training programs and evaluate the quality of the content, methods, and design, what trainees are likely to learn, etc., which works well in a T&D course.  Below are links to a few programs I've used.

 

When do you take refuge? Decision Making During Mine Emergency Escapes. (NIOSH has additional publically available safety training materials.)

Partnering to Heal.  This is a Department of Health and Human Services online video simulation that addresses infection control in hospitals.

http://www.hhs.gov/ash/initiatives/hai/training/index.html

 

Vivid Learning Systems sells (inexpensive) eLearning courses.  The company provides a lot of OSHA and MSHA compliance training eLearning modules.

I'm not sure if these types of exercises will meet your needs, but I hope this is helpful.

Professor Dov Zohar (The Technion, Israel) has been conducting research on organizational safety climate since 1980 and he and others have repeatedly shown how perceptions of safety climate link with incidents and accidents. He has an informative review of this literature available in the Oxford Handbook of Organizational Climate and Culture edited by me and Karen Barbera (2014).

For accessibility and novelty in the account I very much reccomend my dear friend DJ Moran's book "building safety commitment"
