Informed by professional practice as a Rehabilitation Counsellor\, Ross identified the need to inve stigate the impact of persistent occupational identity with a specific occ upational group: Truck Drivers\, who had experienced career disruption due to injury. These clients commonly identified so strongly with their occup ation that they could not contemplate work in any other.\n\nRoss will pres ent a summary of the results of this investigation into the experiences of Truck Drivers attempting to make a post-injury transition to a new career This will include findings from the analysis of extensive interviews with truck drivers using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis method. T hemes relevant to career redirection indicating that a persistent occupati onal identity presents a substantial barrier. \n\nRoss is a Rehabilitati on Counsellor who works as a Consultant Forensic Vocational Assessor. He i s in the final stages of his PhD with the University of Wollongong. He liv es with his family in the Shoalhaven area of NSW and plays bad golf.\n\n&n bsp\;\n\nEugene Laloo - The Impact of Leadership on the Psychosocial Safet y Climate of Australian Workplaces\n\n\n\nIn Australia\, psychological inj uries are predicted to be one of the major safety trends in the foreseeabl e future. Australian workplaces are registering increasing levels of psych ological injuries and authors have warned that workplace safety regulators should consider how this trend can be curtailed. While many jurisdictions now address physical and psychological safety in the workplace\, the evid ence suggests that safety authorities are yet to have the same success wit h psychological injuries as they have had with physical injuries. Addressi ng psychological safety at the organisational level [Psychosocial Safety C limate (PSC)] has proven to be more effective than addressing this issue a t the individual level. Leadership is an important element of climate cons tructs (like PSC)\, but the nexus between the different contemporary leade rship styles and PSC have not been studied fully. Enter Eugene’s researc h\, under the supervision of Dr. Robyn Coman\, Dr. Natalia Hanley and Dr. Shahnaz Bakand\, School of Health and Society\, University of Wollongong.  \n\nThis presentation will: \n\n Give an explanation of PSC and why th is construct is more helpful to the management of psychological safety in workplaces\n A summary of some of the study’s preliminary findings\n S haring the contribution this research will make to the field \n\nEugene h olds undergraduate qualifications in Environmental Health and Industrial P sychology. As an occupational health and safety professional\, Eugene has always had a keen interest in the impact of leadership on occupational hea lth and safety outcomes and is currently studying the nexus between leader ship and the psychosocial safety climate in Australian workplaces. \n\nRe ad about Eugene’s research interests at: https://www.researchgate.net/pr ofile/Eugene-Laloo\n\n \;\n\nAlice Cheng - Health and safety in future and emerging ways of work \n\n\n\nThe landscape of work is consistently evolving due to factors such as changes relating to the global trade marke ts\, increased economic competition and new technologies. These factors ca n alter the standard employment relationships and the organisation of work \, impacting on workers’ day-to-day experience including workplace safet y. Despite the rapid changes that are impacting risk exposure\, workplaces continue to manage risks using traditional occupational health and safety (OHS) processes. OHS risks in future and emerging ways of work (FEWW) can be managed in a number of ways including systems-based approaches that ar e informed by a human factors and ergonomics (HFE) perspective.\n\nThis pr esentation will: \n\n discuss the purpose of this research study in rela tion to workplace safety\n provide an overview of the research studies \ n introduce the conceptual model of FEWW.\n\nAlice Cheng is a PhD candida te at the University of New South Wales\, School of Aviation. Her research interest is in workplace safety in relation to future and emerging ways o f work (FEWW). Alice currently works full-time as a State Inspector of Erg onomics at SafeWork NSW and is also a Certified Professional Ergonomist.   \n\n \;\n\nWhen: Thursday 11 August 2022 at 6:00pm – 7:30pm AEST\n \nThis PD event will be delivered via Zoom.
