THE DOUBLE DIAMOND
IN OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT

Your guide to solving OHS problems using the Double Diamond process



 

Learn to execute a design sprint wherein you find and solve pressing OHS problems in collaboration with the employees who are facing the problem. This website allows you to access the guide, find workshop inspiration and download templates to be used in your very own workshops.

This guide is primarily aimed at occupational safety and health professionals and is a result of the research project “Design thinking as a means in agile OHS management”. The project has been supported by the Danish Working Environment Research Fund and was performed in the period May 2019 to June 2021.

WHAT CAN I USE DESIGN
THINKING FOR AS AN
OHS PROFESSIONAL?



 

 

“Sell” the design sprint to your organisation or client as a unique way of understanding and solving complex OHS problems



Discover and understand the real problem first; and avoid the classic error of jumping straight to finding a solution



Achieve a systematic, yet flexible, approach to handling complex OHS problems using creative tools

 

Involve affected employees in solving the problem



Develop solution ideas in the design sprint and test them via prototypes to find the best suited option

 

Is it worthwhile for the company?


Yes it is. The company will identify the right problem and find solutions anchored in the employees’ ideas, knowledge and experience. It is also a good way for the company to follow up on the workplace assessment process.
