Ambiguity in safety communication

Explore how people interpret and understand safety messages, and why what is communicated is not always what is received.

You'll learn:

• how prior experience, assumptions and context influence understanding
• why small gaps in meaning can affect decisions, actions and outcomes
• practical ways to improve clarity and effectiveness in safety communication.

This session explores the distance between the message a sender intends to communicate and the meaning a receiver actually constructs.

It's a great opportunity to gain insight into the human side of communication and learn how clearer understanding can support better safety outcomes. 

This free event is open to IOSH members and non-members.
