Behind the scenes of SIF research with Ellen Downs Part 1 | Fatality Free Future S2 #3

On this podcast you often hear us discussing research in the space of serious injuries and fatalities. We go through what the research found and how the outcomes reflect our workplaces. But we were curious about what it would be like to conduct the research, so we asked Ellen Downs to join us to give us a peek behind the data. She was involved in research study in 2015, which brought together several high profile mining organisations to understand why total recordable injury rates were decreasing while SIF statistics weren’t. Ellen talks us through how the research study was born, the logistics of research at that scale and what challenges they faced. This is a two part episode, come back next week to hear what the research found. To learn more and to access the materials referenced in this episode visit: https://barclayss.com/fatality-free-future/
