In this episode Australian hosts Jason and Joelle chat with Cameron Stevens, safety technologist and Director of Pocketknife Group. Cam discusses the benefits to an organisation of having their safety function involved in technology application. He shares his observations about current pre-employment screenings and the significant opportunity to explore psychosocial factors using realistic job previews to provide better recruitment outcomes for both employers and employees. We explore the interaction between psychosocial factors and critical risk control and discuss how well this interaction is currently being managed by organisations engaged in critical risk work.
NB: The arms of a T-Rex are about 3ft long. Joelle's arms are significantly shorter than those of a T-Rex, as are those of most humans.
