HabitSafe uses the latest neuroscience and behavioural research to help people be safer.

 

Most organisations think of safety in terms of compliance and people’s conscious choices. Although these ways of thinking about safety have merit, they are not enough to prevent many incidents, even serious ones. So, what’s missing?

 

An understanding of what really drives our behaviour. The way our brain functions as we interact with the world can result in unintentional "mistakes" which can cause incidents. The solution is not just about explaining how our brain works; it is about learning to engage with people’s subconscious mind in a way that empowers them to become habitually safer. After all, we are creatures of habit.

 

Neuroscience estimates that more than 90% of what we do is subconscious. HabitSafe helps organisations appreciate the large role played by inattention in incidents. If people understand (without blame or fault) how unintentional mistakes are made and how these can be minimised, they comply more, make “safer” choices and contribute to a positive safety culture. This all helps to improve safety performance significantly.
