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?

Why do people drop something they thought they … [Read more...] about The Learning Moment in Safety

Poisoning the Professional Waterhole

June 28, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 1 Comment

Poisoning the Professional Waterhole In the latest IOSH magazine you can find a host of safety gobbledygook , enough to turn you off an industry consumed with itself.

Safety – Learning by Doing and Learning by Theory

June 28, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 1 Comment

Most of this noise is not about learning, such is the safety code (https://safetyrisk.net/deciphering-safety-code/). So, I decided to provide a … [Read more...] about A Definition of Learning – A Video

Learning Styles Matter

June 27, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

There are so many factors that determine effective learning. The idea that safety is simply ‘tell the rule, repeat the rule, punish offenders’ is nonsense.
