In addition to their work mentioned in yesterday’s Advisor, Marc Gomez and Jessica Drew de Paz discovered that mindfulness was at the heart of stress-reduction work going on at the UCI Susan Samueli Center for Integrative Medicine. The Center’s courses may be integrated into the EHS training. Another resource is the University of Washington, which has developed a mindfulness-based relapse model to assist people with addiction.
In the Moment
What would mindfulness-based safety training look like and how would it help people on the front lines? Gomez points to campus dining services, a source of frequent cuts, burns, and other incidents.
The training would aim to reduce incidents by teaching employees how to become more aware of their surroundings and remain “in the moment” rather than being pulled away by distractions. Drew de Paz believes applying these principles to safety would give workers a way to feel better about how they’re living and working.

She quoted a mindfulness expert who says the real tragedy of life ending is not when one dies, but is about all those moments when one hasn’t been living. Adds Drew de Paz, “If we live in the moment we can have a healthier and better life.”
