What Do Safety People Want?

May 3, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

There is a massive gap between what safety people want and what Safety (the Archetype) wants. I have just finished three days of training delivering the most demanded program from SPoR in the past 25 years: The Safety Observations and Conversations Program. You can see a map of all the Human … [Read more...] about What Do Safety People Want?

All You Love is Need

All You Love is Need This is the title of the Tony Walter’s book on the challenges of materialism, which of course has an interesting reverse play on words from the Beatles classic hit ‘All You Need is Love’. Walter’s book highlights the nature of necessity, needs and wants, the key determinants of … [Read more...] about All You Love is Need

How to Make Safety Culture Myths True

April 26, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

We know that knowledge of mythology is an essential aspect of understanding culture, except in the safety industry. At the foundation of all myth sits an element of truth that is symbolised and made true by a group, regardless of the evidence. This is certainly the case in the many myths that … [Read more...] about How to Make Safety Culture Myths True

Building Belief and Networks of Belief in Safety

April 23, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

You can pretty much believe anything you want these days. No evidence is needed to believe in the divinity of Donald Trump when you are in the MAGA cult . The MAGA cult is no different than any other cult. And, the outcomes will be much the same (Understanding Cults and Religions).

The Harm You Cannot See

April 19, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

One of the most profound deficiencies of the zero-harm cult is its focus on the physical. The zero-vision quest is a quest to count visible injury rates with no expertise to understand the nature of social-psychological and cultural harm. An example of the kind of harm I am talking about was … [Read more...] about The Harm You Cannot See

Investigations and Trauma

April 19, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

One of the profound gaps in the training of people in safety is a lack of awareness of human ‘being’. With so much focus on hazards and so little focus on persons, Safety counts injury rates, hazards and regulations as if persons are not connected. The fact that Safety names Psychosocial Health as a … [Read more...] about Investigations and Trauma

Methods and Tools are not Skills in Tackling Risk

April 18, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

One of the important things we focus on in SPoR is skill development. This involves considerable unlearning and re-learning. We find most who come to our courses and programs have been indoctrinated with safety ideology that places a focus on objects not subjects. It doesn’t take any skill to count … [Read more...] about Methods and Tools are not Skills in Tackling Risk
