Proving Safety: Observations on “Worker Insights”

June 9, 2023 by Admin 1 Comment

By Greg Smith, author of “Papersafe” – first published HERERecently, there has been some discussion around the use of “worker insights” as a measure of safety performance, and even as a measure of legal compliance and demonstration of due diligence for the purposes of Work Health and Safety (WHS) … [Read more...] about Proving Safety: Observations on “Worker Insights”

The Futility of the Centralised Safety Management System?

March 17, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 4 Comments

Whenever I run the MiProfile diagnostic (https://www.humandymensions.com/services-and-programs/miprofile/) in organizations it always turns out that over 60% of people state that they do not understand the Safety Management System (SMS). With data from over 300 organizations and 60,000 participants … [Read more...] about The Futility of the Centralised Safety Management System?

Due Diligence is NOT Quantitative

March 2, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 2 Comments

One of the grand delusions of approaches to Due Diligence is that it is a quantitative concept. Due Diligence is similar to ALARP and is a 100% qualitative idea that cannot be measured. Our successful Due Diligence program will be run in Perth 3,4,5 October … [Read more...] about Due Diligence is NOT Quantitative

A Typical Safety eBulletin

February 15, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 3 Comments

Indicators of Risk

December 30, 2022 by Dr Rob Long 6 Comments

But We Have Safety Systems in Place

November 15, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

But We Have Safety Systems in Place One of the most successful myths of Safety is that one is protected by having systems in place.

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. It is clear from the Congress that safety is now the filter through which one views life rather than, life being the filter through which one views safety. When one gets such a … [Read more...] about The Safety Worldview and the Worldview of Safety, Testing Due Diligence
