The “Human” Factor: Hygiene, Psychology, & High-Stakes Reliability

As workplaces become increasingly complex, the biggest risks are no longer limited to visible hazards alone. Organisations today are being challenged to rethink how safety, health, and human reliability are managed in modern work environments. This 4-hour online session explores the growing importance of the “Human” Factor in workplace safety and health (WSH). Bringing together experts examine how organisations can better identify invisible risks, strengthen psychosocial safety, and build resilient work cultures in an evolving regulatory landscape.

In this workshop, you will gain insights into:

• Emerging occupational diseases, invisible exposures, and real-time hygiene monitoring
• Psychosocial Safety Climate (PSC) and its link to accidents, culture, and mental health compliance
• Modern investigations that move beyond “human error” to system-level causes
• High-reliability safety approaches from nuclear and critical infrastructure systems

This session is designed for safety professionals, occupational hygienists, HR and facility managers, operational leaders, regulators, and decision-makers seeking to strengthen workplace resilience, safeguard worker well-being, and prepare for the future of human-centred safety management.
