49: Harnessing Tacit Knowledge to Make Work Safer David Broadhurst and Rae Grech
David Broadhurst, the co-founder of Codesafe, is a construction industry veteran.\xa0 He opens Ep 49 with a story from nine years ago about an incident where someone on site where he was supervisor was almost killed.\xa0 He began searching for a better way to ensure that workers in high risk sectors actually understood safety critical information and worked safely.\xa0 He created the Codesafe methodology which has captured the attention of safety bodies in Australia and been the subject of research by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) to understand what makes the approach effective.
Rae Grech is a health and safety manager who has a training background.\xa0 In 2013 Rae engaged David\u2019s team to create video materials for high risk processes in ceiling insulation.\xa0 Their work together resulted in significant systemic improvements in safety at the organisation.\xa0 While easy to access content is part of the reason for this, the real driver is a participatory approach that engaged workers and unlocked their tacit knowledge.
