For the second year running, SHINe’s Distinguished Professor Helen Lingard and Daniel McLinden joined the Summit which brings together leading researchers and industry partners who are committed to improving safety outcomes in construction.
This year’s event again showcased the depth of expertise within the CSRA community that has been built since the Alliance’s inception over five years ago, with presentations delivered by CSRA researchers and member organisations whose work continues to shape evidence informed safety practice worldwide. Highlights included the presentation of a Safety Clutter Classification Model, developed t help organisations to probe their activities to identify and understand the types of safety clutter that may be present. Fascinating CSRA research on how workers notice or miss visual and auditory changes in their environment, and the implications for workplace safety was also shared. Other research topics coved included an exploration of the extent to which safety performance translates to organisational business performance and an examination of the different ways that the concept of safety is understood. There were so many interesting research projects presented and discussed throughout the two-day event. More information about these and downloadable reports and outputs can be fund at the CSRA Knowledge Center.
SHINe was honoured to contribute to the program, with Helen presenting an update on SHINe’s recent work, including insights from the Australian decluttering health and safety management systems research, the 2025 SHINe Symposium, and sharing the progress of SHINe’s growing collaboration with the CSRA team. This Strategic Partnerships in Action session emphasised the opportunities created when regions and organisations share knowledge and align their efforts toward common goals.
Congratulations to all at CSRA for, again, hosting such a wonderful, informative and enjoyable event.
