The breakthrough in safety thinking that could halve your High Potential Incidents and Significant Safety Occurrences
Learn how Molycop more than halved HPIs and SSOs and reduced Workcover premiums.
It’s Ground Hog Day. The monthly report to the Executive Team is due.
The same number of safety incidents, investigations done, and actions taken. Last month - different incidents, similar numbers.
The numbers have plateaued; despite best practices they won’t budge. It’s frustrating. It looks bad, and the time chewed up by investigations and reporting is high.
And people are still getting hurt. Some minor, while other incidents could have had catastrophic consequences.
Yet dig deeper, and the root causes of many of these incidents are the same.
A lack of attention in the “moments that matter.”
The Donovan Ataraxy “Able Minds Program” addresses that.
...and can halve your HPI & SSO incidents over a 12–24-month period.
It recognises the crucial role people play in safety. How their mind-state impacts decision-making in “moments that matter.” When they are at most risk of an accident or injury.
The role people play
Most current approaches to safety focus on the external environment.
De-risking the workplace, safety processes, and checklists.
This new paradigm recognises that people and their decision-making processes are key drivers of the safety incidents that still occur.
Unintentionally, and unaware of their actions until after the event.
The data backs this up
Paul Griffiths, Chief Human Resources Officer at Molycop Global, reviewed the previous decade of workplace accidents. He found that 90% occurred when people were complacent, distracted, rushed, fatigued, or frustrated.
People were trying to get their work done with good intent. They just made an inexplicable error of judgment in a key moment.
The Able Minds Program
It helps you de-risk the human being. It improves people's ability to make better decisions, not just in safety but across the board. Based on neuroscience and how the brain works in the “moments that matter”.
The program is effective and practical.
“Helping to keep people dialled in to respond better in the moments that matter is key to reducing accidents and injuries.”
Paul Griffiths, Chief Human Resources Officer, Molycop Australia
Over the first two years of implementing the three-phase Able Minds Program, the number of HPIs & SSOs at Molycop Waratah more than halved.
It also reduced their Workcover premiums:
In the first 12 months of the process we reduced our Workers Comp premium by more than the program cost... and that does not consider the time saved in lost hours, investigations, writing reports... or the human impact of greater safety and fewer incidents.
— Tiff Allen, (then) General Manager HR, WHS & Environment, Molycop Australasia

What
- You’ll learn why, even with the best systems and processes, workplace incident numbers have flat-lined.
- You’ll discover how our perception changes in different situations. The role that our mind-state plays when deciding how to respond, think, or move in "the moments that matter".
- You will understand the four brain-based cognition and attention challenges that drive most decision-making errors. Be shown some of the simple hacks (and advanced strategies) you can put in place to reduce their impact.
And their root cause in neuroscience – how our brains work.
Put simply you will learn:
- Why incidents around human error still occur, even with the best systems.
- What you can do about solving this problem, and
- How this will help you improve your organisation’s productivity, safety, and reduce error/rework.
Learn how to put the brains back into safety.
A breakthrough
We were searching for a breakthrough by augmenting our focus on de-risking the site with more emphasis on the individual and their mind state, particularly in the “moments that matter"...
...we are on the right path and making a difference.
