    The human cost of not speaking up. Psychological safety – not just nice but necessary! Naomi Armitage

    This resentation will look at how fostering a culture of psychological safety is important. The concept of psychological safety has been around since 1965 and it's a team construct. It only exists in teams, not necessarily across an entire organisation. When you have a psychologically safe environment in a team, there's a shared understanding in the team that it's safe to take an interpersonal risk.

    Accident not caused by failures

    Wolters v The University of the Sunshine Coast [2012] QSC 298, 5 October 2012. This is another case where the legal term of causation has been examined. The court found the employer breached its duty at common law and in contract by failing to adequately manage the behaviour of the supervisor following the event with the previous worker. However, the court held that the breach did not cause the claimant's loss, as it could not find that any action by the employer would have prevented the supervisor's actions on the day.
