The Ethics of Surveillance and Safety

May 29, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Just because one desires zero injuries doesn’t justify unethical practice. The outcome of safety and a duty towards safety are always undone when persons are dehumanised (harmed) in the process. How absurd the proposal for zero harm when people are harmed in the process of seeking zero!!! The … [Read more...] about The Ethics of Surveillance and Safety

Situational Awareness. What Are Your Filters?

May 26, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

We see the world and situations through the many biases (filters) developed through years of the way the world has been framed at us. In safety, the training, curriculum, discourse, language and semiosis is framed through the filter and lens of objects. Even psychosocial harm is called a ’hazard’. … [Read more...] about Situational Awareness. What Are Your Filters?

Situational Awareness as Consciousness of the Unconscious

May 25, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Situational awareness is in some ways about ‘reading’ and ‘sensing’ the unknown but how can that make sense? Isn’t that a paradox? Yes, it is but in SPoR many things are held in paradoxical tension. Such is life. Situational awareness is about a ‘sixth sense’ of knowing well beyond any thinking … [Read more...] about Situational Awareness as Consciousness of the Unconscious

The Learning Moment in Safety

May 20, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

The idea of learning is a paradox. How do humans come to learn something they do not know? What happens in that Zone of Proximal Development (Vygotsky) when a person moves from the unknown to the known. How can you know something that you don’t know? Why do people drop something they thought they … [Read more...] about The Learning Moment in Safety

Heinrich Humbug

May 18, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

I guess one of the reasons why Heinrich continues to dominate safety texts is because few have read his work. If you want, you can download his text here: INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT PREVENTION  Another reason is that his concocted ratios, dominoes and pyramids suit the biases of safety indoctrination. … [Read more...] about Heinrich Humbug
