You Spell the Devil L-T-I and God P-P-E

June 15, 2025 by Dr Rob Long 6 Comments

This story by Dr Long would seem totally ludicrous if it weren’t true! We hear these stories every day yet those with the most to gain and the ability to change it are the only ones in fear and denial. I wrote previously about The Safety Revolution or the “Tipping Point” coming but in the context of … [Read more...] about You Spell the Devil L-T-I and God P-P-E

Meaningless Non-Vision in Safety

June 15, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

It’s always amusing to see Safety throw language about with no meaning such as ‘revolutionary’, ‘visionary’, ‘trailblazer’ and ‘thought leader’. This is the language one uses when traditional Safety talks to traditional Safety about traditional safety. Apparently, one is a ‘visionary trailblazer’ … [Read more...] about Meaningless Non-Vision in Safety

June 13, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

We know that moment when Donald Rumsfeld, the US Secretary of State, declared in 12 Feb 2002, that we have: ‘known knowns, unknown knowns, known unknowns and unknown unknowns’ (https://youtu.be/GiPe1OiKQuk?si=lrtA5UwvImfvdI1i ).

Understanding e-motion, Motivation, Goals and Learning in Risk – A Video

June 12, 2025 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Behaviourism as a philosophy and methodology doesn’t explain why people do what they do. It is a simplistic ideology that defines persons as machines and the sum of inputs and outputs.

Instead, it thinks the medium is the problem NOT the message and so, looks to dress up the medium by making it entertaining, ‘sexy’ … [Read more...] about When You Don’t Know What to Do in Safety, Dress it Up
