SAFETALK - The game of safety
Get the dialogue started
The original SAFETALK game is for all companies that wants the good energy back into their health and safety work. The game puts emphasis on both what works well and what could get better. Our combined 38 years of experience in health and safety comes into play. With SAFETALK we put the focus on the many different situations that we know from experience that can be challenging and in a constructive way we give management and employees the opportunity to also focus on all that actually goes well in daily work.
By enabling the specific knowledge and experience of the employees in the structure of teamwork we get to listen to each other, talk about the important things and make success visible and solve real problems. Everybody can relate to that.
From theory to the real world
The safety game contains lots of elements from the newest knowledge within Safety Differently, Safety II and behavioural design (nudging). We have taken the best from the books and turned the wisdom into a practical tool.
We should decrease the number of accidents
Every year 42,000 accidents are reported in Denmark. The number of accidents reported each year has stagnated and has been for the past many years. No company wish that their employees are injured. In spite of regulation, safety management systems and engagement from both management and employees it’s been difficult to lower the number without doing something different.
Occupational health is more than zero accidents
You should think that management and employees get to talk about difficult things through established processes and workflows. However, in our experience with health and safety, it’s challenging to achieve within the given conditions and work pressure that most companies experience. A good working environment is about more than just zero accidents, so the game covers topics such as how we collaborate, manage, communicate, ergonomics, chemicals, whether we have what we need to solve our task and how new employees are instructed and much more.
A new way to create dialogue and reflection
The purpose of the game is to create space for reflection and learning that allows management and employees to discuss norms, assumptions, opinions and stories that forms the way work is done.
