Posted By Brian M. Jones There used to be a guy working for Key Health and Safety a number of years ago, who was heavily into NLP. However, his name escapes me at the moment, but I do know that he moved on to another training organisation.

Posted By Mark Eastbourne I believe that SHP had an article which showed the relationship between the two, example used was a worker going in a deep excavation which he thought he was allowed to do without fear for his safety as his supervisor was there watching him and after all, if he did not think it was dangerous...

Posted By Kieran J Duignan Martin Your request is specifically concerned about 'research' on NLP in safety: you may find some fine research articles online in back issues of the International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, published by Reed Elsevier. At the first international conference on NLP took place last year at the University of Surrey, some of the papers presented might be of interest to you. Dr Paul Tosey in the Management School at UniS is in a position to provide you with the CD sent to all those who attended.

Posted By daz658 NLP is certainly not the "magic bullet" or curer of all ills that some people claim it to be. However, if you accept that all behaviours are driven from peoples attitudes, beliefs and values, then some pretty powerful results can be achieved. These techniques have been used to great effect in business, the sporting world (Mourinho, Murray and Jordan) and increasingly in therapy to help people overcome many difficulties that were previously thought to be impossible to resolve without drugs or other quite horrific treatments that were used in the 60s and early 70s. There are sceptics out there, as there will always be when people don't fully understand how things work, but if used in the right way, by the right people and with people who are open to change, NLP can be a very powerful tool that can be used effectively in many areas, including safety.

Posted By brian mills NLP has come up quite a few times in the forum, I like Mattadsafety use NLP. Would any like minded individuals like to do some joined up thinking on the application of NLP to general health and safety? Please contact me direct, my well formed outcome would be to develop a safety manual using the best of NLP/ CBT "This time next year we could be ROSPA gold" Regards Brian

Posted By Stephen Bridgehouse Martin, I am interested in doing a NLP course because I believe there is scope to implement this in influencing safety behaviour and attitudes within an organisation. I've found a company who runs courses on NLP and they charge around £1200 for five days. The provider is kim.blackmore@indigoeagle.com
