Mindfulness and Safety

I am quite eager on mindfulness simply for being more present to what is happening right now. Although rather obvious, I never spotted a link between mindfulness and safety. Until I read the following in Brainsafe 2.0 from Gerd-Jan Frijters which makes sense:

Mindfulness is a form of meditation in which you focus on the mental and physical sensations of the moment itself. In a broader sense, mindfulness is an attitude to life in which both negative and positive experiences are accepted. Let go of judgments, be patient, view your beliefs critically, trust and self-acceptance. As a result, employees learn, for example, to perform a task more calmly and attentively, to look at the workplace with a peripheral look, to exercise a certain gentleness in communication and dialogue and to handle tasks one by one. Regular practice leads to a more concentrated work posture and less distraction. It improves the quality of attention, stability, control and efficiency. Employee is more aware of a task. Mindfulness leads to less negative emotional disturbances, such as stress, anxiety and depression, and the employee is more positive about his well-being and more satisfied with life. Reactions to conflicts and tensions are more constructive. It reinforces the sense of belonging and, in particular, the safety behaviour related to participation such as reporting unsafe situations or addressing a colleague will be strengthened. It increases intrinsic motivation. Employee will naturally show safer behaviour.
