What is Affective Safety Management
Affective Safety Management

• People do not always behave rationally, so safety
  training needs emotional as well as knowledge
  components
• ASM is concerned with the application of several
  developing learning and behavioural techniques to
  the management of health and safety at work
• These techniques include, in particular
• Neuro-Linguistic Programming
• Emotional Intelligence and
• Affective Education
• Society for Effective Affective Learning
  (www.seal.org.uk)

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NPL) 1
Affective Safety Management

• Neuro - what goes on in the brain and nervous
  system
• Linguistic - use of words and how this affects
  perception and relationship with external world
• Programming - interactive process that restricts
  decisions about the way we think, speak and feel

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NPL) 2
Affective Safety Management

• Individual behaviour will depend on
• Learned Responses
• Age and Experience
• Attitudes and Motivation
• Intelligence and Memory
• Personality and Perception

Emotional Intelligence
Affective Safety Management

• Emotional Intelligence has 4 components
• Identifying emotions in self and others
• Using emotions to facilitate thought
• Understanding and changing emotions
• Managing complex emotions
• Purpose of using emotional intelligence is to
  manage emotions (attitudes and motivations) in
  yourself and others

13
Affective Education
Affective Safety Management

• Affective Education makes use of learning
  strategies that utilise emotional and logical
  intelligence to take account of the intentions
  behind the behaviour.
• Affective education seeks to develop attitudes,
  so that changes in behaviour are from within the
  individual (emotional) and not based on external
  threats
