The Purpose of Routines, Habits and Heuristics – Checking Your Gut!

February 10, 2020 by Dr Rob Long 27 Comments

It’s such a funny (peculiar) situation.

The Safety Worldview and the Worldview of Safety, Testing Due Diligence

August 13, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Following the World Congress on Safety and Health I begin to wonder just how more absurd the safety industry can become.
