Cultivating Resilience

September 8, 2024 by Dr Rob Long 8 Comments

Cultivating Resilience When I think of resilience one of the metaphors I would never associate with it would be engineering. Resilience is a human (social psychological), evolutionary and organic ‘way of being’. The idea of imposing a mechanistic mindset on resilience just doesn’t make sense. … [Read more...] about Cultivating Resilience

Why Everyday Social Resilience Matters

August 8, 2024 by Admin Leave a Comment

The ideology and language of zero in organisations limits the ability of that organisation to develop support service and foster resilience. When safety=zero (https://safetyrisk.net/safetyzero-culture/) why would resilience be important? When your linguistics deny fallibility and your language is … [Read more...] about Why Everyday Social Resilience Matters

Mourning, Loss, Harm and Injury and, the Need for Everyday Social Resilience

July 13, 2024 by Dr Rob Long 2 Comments

It is extraordinary the suffering that some people bear. I attended a wake recently for a young man who died from complications to do with diabetes and alcoholism, he was 45. He died alone with only a few friends who called in on him regularly. When I first knew him at the age of 16 he was the model … [Read more...] about Mourning, Loss, Harm and Injury and, the Need for Everyday Social Resilience

The Meaning of Resilience in Safety

July 3, 2024 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

The safety industry is so poor at tackling the nature of resilience because it denies the nature of human fallibility. This is the burden of believing in zero! There’s no need to speak about resilience if you believe in zero. The key message in safety is to ‘just believe’ or to ‘believe the … [Read more...] about The Meaning of Resilience in Safety

Scars That Never Heal

July 1, 2024 by Dr Rob Long 2 Comments

One of the grand delusions of Safety is its focus on physical harm. This is fostered by the silly language of ‘hazards’ and ‘controls’. Even then, the silly industry describes psychosocial harm as a ‘hazard’ (https://safetyrisk.net/what-is-psychosocial-safety/ ). You couldn’t make such stupidity … [Read more...] about Scars That Never Heal

The Positives of Risky Play

June 9, 2024 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

We learn yet again from research that risk is good, maturation and beneficial for learning. We also learn that risk aversion is anti-learning. And in the same way we also learn that zero is anti-learning. One thing is for sure in safety is no matter what the issue whether it be ethics, … [Read more...] about The Positives of Risky Play

Resilience, Another Safety Silence

May 6, 2024 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

One of the mind-blowing silences in safety (https://safetyrisk.net/safety-culture-silences/ ) is on resilience. Just like Safety ethics ignores power, helping and care (https://safetyrisk.net/culture-silences-in-safety-care-ethics/) so to, Safety ignores resilience in all its spin about … [Read more...] about Resilience, Another Safety Silence

Fluff or Substance, Safety Hype and Everyday Social Resilience

February 19, 2024 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

One of the traps and seductions of the social media world is the idea that everyone else leads an extraordinary life and you don’t. The parade of extraordinary experiences is so often a narcissistic quest for ‘look at me’, ‘I was there’. And whilst I’m happy for the escape of a Taylor Swift concert … [Read more...] about Fluff or Substance, Safety Hype and Everyday Social Resilience
