- Human psychology
relevant to OHS
- Behavioural psychology
- "The foundation of
behaviour-based safety"
- Cognitive psychology
- "Highlights the cognitive capacities of
workers and errors that can occur in
decision making"
- Humans in the workplace
- Human Behaviour
- Risk Taking
- All must be considered to improve workplace
safety
- Risk Appraisal
- Care of self and others
- Social Interactions
- OHS can be affected with day to
day interactions with others
- Risk
- When faced with risk, options range from
doing nothing to eliminating the risk
- Residual Risk
- "Residual risk is the risk that is left after controls
are in place or inherent risk without controls"
- Health
- "A state of complete physical,
mental and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or
infirmity"
- Health Promotion
- The process of enabling
people to increase
control over, and to
improve, their health
- Health Protection

- Bad Apple Theory
- Unreliable people "bad apples"
make workplaces unsafe
- Workplace accidents are
the result of "bad apples"
- 'Bad apple' caused accidents can be avoided if
individuals pay more atention, invest more
effort, obey the rule or follow the procedure
- "According to the 'bad apple theory',
adverse outcomes can be avoided if
individuals pay more attention, invest
more effort, obey the rule or follow the
procedure
- Hazards
- "A hazard is a situation or thing
that has the potential to harm a
person (or thing")
- Hazards Include
- Chemical
- Biological
- Psychological
- Fatigue
- Noise
- Electricity
- Thermal (Heat & Cold)
- The fundamental test for whether
something is a hazard is that if it is
eliminated there is no risk
- Controls
- Risk Control
- Refers to controlling the complexity of risk sources and
interactions that is necessary for management of
residual risk as opposed to treatment of specific risk."
- Part of the OHS job
- Includes recommending appropriate and
effective controls to manage hazards and
risks
- Minimisation of Risks
- In developing controls it is useful to
envisage a time sequence that commences
before the incident and extends beyond it
to include damage or injury outcomes
