Practical Risk Assessment, with Phil Clarke

Practical Risk Assessment, with Phil Clarke

How do you take risk assessment from being a paperwork burden to a living, useful tool that actually helps people on the ground? That's exactly what Phil Clarke has been exploring throughout his diverse career, from military intelligence, through environmental health, to leading safety across complex, multi-site organisations. In this conversation, Phil unpacks his philosophy of making risk assessments dynamic, local, and owned by operational leaders rather than just the safety team. He also shares his "Safety Six" model, insights from his doctoral research, and some practical steps you can take right away.

Highlights:

  • From army intelligence to safety leader: lessons in operational risk
  • The trap of complexity: why most risk assessments fail to add value
  • Local ownership: why supervisors, not safety teams, should lead the process
  • Templates vs tailoring: striking the right balance for different sites
  • The Safety Six model: communication, localism, AI, review, knowledge, entrepreneur
  • Dynamic assessment: making it flexible enough for real-world variation
  • Competence and culture: the overlooked foundations of safer work
  • Practical first step: focus on the basics before chasing the latest trend
