After 20 years in safety and training, I now focus primarily on the human side of safety. I help clients tackle their wicked problems through seeking to understand how people organise in response to uncertainty, and how they make sense of risk.I do this through consulting, coaching, training and workshop design and delivery, MC'ing events and conferences, and delivery of keynote presentations.

Nice reminder
Zero Harm – going home uninjured! a bit of a lottery isn’t it, one day your number might come up because of our attraction to risk and its rewards.

Zero is such a dangerous delusion. Whenever you see celebration of a very long period without LTI then you just know that disaster is imminent……..

Will definitely use this discussion with the teams as a lot of new staff in the last 2 months to get their insights into what safety means to them
