The next level in safety programs – that could halve your Significant Safety Occurrences & High Potential Incidents.
The Able Minds Program is a new way of looking at safety.
It builds on the success of your existing programs and processes. Work that had a major impact on the safety of your people.
However, despite your best efforts, accidents still happen. And it feels like nothing but extreme vigilance and compliance brings them down, and even then it is only temporary.
And each monthly Executive Team meeting is groundhog day. Monthly reports about the safety incidents and remedial actions taken. Then the next month – different incidents, same numbers.
The Able Minds Program targets the decision-making processes - and therefore the actions of your people - in the “moments that matter”.
Whereas current safety programs focus on the external, environmental factors, the Alert Minds Program focusses on their mind-state.
It “de-risks the person”.

And it works
When Paul Griffiths, Chief Human Resources Officer at Molycop Global, reviewed the previous decade of workplace accidents he found that 90% of them occurred when people were complacent, distracted, rushed, fatigued, or frustrated.
People were trying to get their work done, with good intent, and just made an inexplicable error of judgment in a key moment.
The Able Minds Program improves the ability of your people to make better decisions at all levels in the organisation.
Based on neuroscience and how the brain works in the “moments that matter” the program is effective and practical.
Over the first two years of implementing the three-phase Able Minds Program the number of High Potential Incidents & Significant Safety Occurrences at Molycop more than halved.

Reduced our Workcover premiums
“In the first 12 months of the process we reduced our Workers Comp premium by more than the program cost ….and that does not consider the time saved in lost hours, investigations, writing reports…..or the human impact of greater safety and fewer incidents” Tiff Allen, (the then) General Manager HR, WHS & Environment, Molycop Australasia |
Three-phases to make it a permanent win.
The Able Minds Program is built over three distinct phases:
- Buy-in – to get everyone on board, familiar (in language they can understand) with the neuroscience that underpins the program how to become more alert.
- Enhance – coach the managers on how to apply the skills and tools, so that they can move on from telling their people to “Do better” to showing their people, “this is how to do better”.
- Embed – its processes and systems with a new focus on ‘where is your mind today’.
