ASSP Safety21 - Using technology for “mindset shifts:” Be tenacious
A Monday morning session at the ASSP Safety21 conference in Austin, TX, took on the subject of “mindset shifts.” How do you get workers on the frontlines, in the field or on the floor, to make the right decisions and choose the right behaviors?
The observe, orient, decide, act (OODA) loop decision-making model is a powerful tool and new forms of technology can empower workers to better identify job-site hazards. The safety director for an Indiana construction company used customized training content – short two-minute videos filmed by workers using GoPro cameras that he edited into compact, engaging training vignettes -- to build better “grassroots, ground-up” decision-making.
