Description
This course focuses on the concept of Stop Work Authority (SWA) in the workplace, addressing challenges and strategies for its effective implementation. It explores the human nature factors that may hinder the use of SWA, such as efficiency-driven shortcuts and the halo effect, and emphasizes the importance of recognizing and overcoming these barriers. Participants will learn how to sensitize themselves to potential risks, develop a questioning attitude, and exercise SWA when encountering unsafe situations, ensuring a safer and more collaborative work environment. Understand the human nature drivers that can lead to a reluctance in using Stop Work Authority. Identify the challenges posed by efficiency-driven shortcuts and the halo effect in workplace safety. Develop the skills to exercise Stop Work Authority, initiate work stoppage, and seek appropriate guidance when encountering uncertain or unsafe situations.
