Have You Had a Drink of SafeTea?
October is apparently ‘safety month’, a great idea to generate tokenism compared to other months. This year I see the ‘SafeTea chat’ initiative. Sounds like a great idea for open conversations and trusting-listening, hmmm, not likely. Even the expression ‘WHS discussions’ is use but? None of this … [Read more...] about Have You Had a Drink of SafeTea?
The Blessings of Fallibility
The human condition is unique, paradoxical and ‘wicked’. If you want to understand fallibility, human mortality and human personhood then read some of the following as be a helpful start. If you want to condemn fallibility as some kind of ‘curse’ or negative projection, then just … [Read more...] about The Blessings of Fallibility
Safety as Zero, The Perfect Event
Zero is an ideology of perfectionism. I wonder what happens at a ‘zero event’ (https://safetyrisk.net/the-global-zero-event-this-is-safety/) if you make a mistake? We know from all the research that perfectionism is a mental health disorder … [Read more...] about Safety as Zero, The Perfect Event
Validating, Endorsing and Supporting Zero
It is so amusing watching organisations have a bet each way on zero. This is how one plays the religious ‘agnostic’ card to argue that zero is some kind of ‘global by-line’. This is the kind of religious language one uses to claim that zero is not religious. Such a strategy enables fraudulence to … [Read more...] about Validating, Endorsing and Supporting Zero

This is how Safety describes what it does. Here it is on full show. Come to Safety so you can have zero vision about risk. Do you want to count how many zero events safety has held recently. I guess a zero event means you had neither an event nor nothing to count? And anyone and … [Read more...] about The Global ‘Zero Event’, This is Safety
If You Can’t Manage Fallibility, You’ll Never Tackle Psychosocial Health
As long as Safety is founded in the nonsense of injury rate counting and zero, it will never ever be able to tackle the challenges of psychosocial health. The fundamental problem for Safety is, it doesn’t know what to do with fallibility, mortality, vulnerability, corporeal being and … [Read more...] about If You Can’t Manage Fallibility, You’ll Never Tackle Psychosocial Health

We finished our fourth day yesterday bringing myth and embodiment together in tackling the realities of psychosocial risk.We started surveying the current approaches to psychosocial risk that are dis-embodied, looking at the … [Read more...] about Embodiment, Myth and Psychosocial Risk
Embodied Enactivity in Safety
Day 3 of our SPoR workshops in Canberra saw a shift to a focus on embodiment and the way that the safety industry has a dis-embodied view of persons. This focus has a bias on brain-centrism and the idea that the brain is a computer that directs decisions. This is NOT the case. When we … [Read more...] about Embodied Enactivity in Safety
The Meaning of Myth in Risk
Yesterday was our second day on exploring mythology, risk and safety. As we got to know what myth was more as a genre we were more sensitised to how myth works both in society but more importantly to be more sensitised to how myth is employed in safety. This was amplified by a semiotic … [Read more...] about The Meaning of Myth in Risk
Myth Making and Why it Matters to Safety
It was great to see some new and old faces as we commenced our workshops on Mythology and Embodiment in risk. Craig did some great groundwork on Concept Mapping myth and the Linguistics of myth as well as work on models and the myth of the Scientific Method. I started out by exploring … [Read more...] about Myth Making and Why it Matters to Safety
