Peer to peer interventions

In this activity we learn about the philosophy of peer to peer interventions/reporting and how this benefits the workplace. Peer to peer reporting can play a part in improving safety culture and engagement within your team.

What is peer to peer intervention?
A peer to peer intervention is a polite conversation between at least two people that relates to a safe or an unsafe act. It includes open questions with active listening and focuses on what could go wrong. You should agree clear immediate corrective actions but don't forget the opportunity (if applicable) to recognise positive behaviours! Focus should be on the behaviours, not the individual.

Intervention with a peer can happen before a rule is broken OR to correct an unsafe act or situation. Intervention and reporting within your team are learning opportunities and will hopefully result in the unsafe activity stopping immediately.
