We can't wait to hear from Tash Woods from @BITAusNZ! She will explain how to use Behavioural Insights (BI) to design communications, tools, and initiatives that align with how we actually behave in the real world. Register here: 2022WHSColloquium.eventbrite…
🧵 Predictably, I'm pleased about the FDA's OTC HA rule: a new pathway that I hope will spur access & innovation. Not everyone agrees, of course. But what’s fascinating about the arguments against is that they’re identical to all the old criticisms of our self-fitting work. 1/6
The argument that SFHAs (and now OTC) are a threat to audiologists says little about the idea itself, but speaks volumes - pardon the pun - about the person making it. Because making it about yourself betrays what you actually value: self-preservation, rather than innovation. 5/6

Who cares for the carer?
We are partnering with @BITAusNZ to explore the WHS harms affecting in-home care workers with a focus on disability and aged care. Our research will ensure that in-home carers are risk aware and safe at work.

It's Edgar Allan Poe's birthday. We wrote this post haste, hopefully it's to Poe's taste.

🦺 Humans are messy, irrational, and gloriously unpredictable. How can we take this into account when designing policies to keep people safe on the job?

🚴♀️Those food delivery workers keeping us fed during the pandemic? Hardly any research has been done to understand the risks they face and how to manage them 🚴
So we partnered with @CentreforWHS to change that

For many of us, #FoodDeliveryWorkers made physical distancing bearable during the pandemic's most trying moments🚴🦺💛
But their work is risky: 45% of FDWs say that they or someone they know has been injured while working.
We're working to change that.

Almost all food delivery platforms have dedicated WHS teams, driven by a desire to retain food delivery workers. Learn more about what we've uncovered with @BITAusNZ, @Macquarie_Uni and @SafeWork_NSW in our report: centreforwhs.nsw.gov.au/Proj… #Centreforwhs

The major #WHS concerns of food delivery workers are traffic accidents, verbal abuse and theft or vandalism of equipment. For more #research insights on the #gigeconomy and the next phase of the research check out our report: centreforwhs.nsw.gov.au/Proj… @SafeWork_NSW #Centreforwhs
Feels like a good day to re-share my fave PhD completion gift + top 3 lessons learnt from doing it: PCA is cool but my 💜 belongs to qual; there's such a thing as good enough but I'll still be haunted forever by that formatting error in Ch 6; and I am never, EVER doing that again – at Sydney, New South Wales
