SESSION PURPOSE

- Understand how storytelling influences attention, memory, and behaviour in safety contexts.
- Identify and shape real workplace moments into effective safety stories.
- Develop one complete, ready‑to‑use safety story linked to a clear message and call to action.
- Build and deliver a concise 3–5 minute safety talk.
