Holistic Well Being in Risk Differently

June 24, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Holistic Well Being in Risk Differently The separation of Body/Mind is a perennial problem of Philosophy. Known as ‘the Body Mind Problem’ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind%E2%80%93body_problem; https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/discovery-mind-body-problem/ ).

Investigations and Learning

June 9, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 2 Comments

Investigations and Learning You’ve got to hand it to Safety, if it can turn something into a simplistic delusion, it will. We see this with the recent attention to learning in regard to investigations. Good olde Safety now expert in learning theory. If one signs up for a degree in Education one is … [Read more...] about Investigations and Learning

The Ethic of ALARP and the Dilemma of Safety

March 28, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

One of the great things about the Regulation and the Act is the subjectivity of ALARP and Due Diligence. Both account for the beauty of human fallibility and the adaptability needed in tackling risk. Of course, there is no policy, law, regulation or standard that is absent of a moral philosophy. … [Read more...] about The Ethic of ALARP and the Dilemma of Safety

Safe Work Australia a Vision for No Vision

February 26, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

When an industry is bogged down in engineering, behaviourism and zero, it is unlikely there will be any vision. Nothing is more crippling to vision that the toxicity of zero vision, the global safety mantra. We see this lack of vision in the recent release of the so-called ‘Australian Work Health … [Read more...] about Safe Work Australia a Vision for No Vision

What Does Safety Know About Ethics?

September 14, 2022 by Dr Rob Long 2 Comments

The brief answer to this question is, not much. A mature study of Ethics is found nowhere in the safety curriculum across the globe. The idea of ethics comes from the root meaning (ethike): character, moral nature, guiding beliefs of a person, group or institution. It was originally used by … [Read more...] about What Does Safety Know About Ethics?

SPoR, Ideology and Safety Myth

September 7, 2022 by Dr Rob Long 6 Comments

Continuing our series on Safety Myths – see them all here Ideology is one of those tricky words that can be defined 100 ways. So, it’s always good to define meaning before assuming others know the application of language. In language context, philosophy and culture are critical determinant of … [Read more...] about SPoR, Ideology and Safety Myth

Myths, Ethics and Enactment in Risk

August 30, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Baudrillard (1929-2007) articulates well the myths of our consumer society in The Consumer Society, Myths and Structures (1998, Sage, London). In this deconstruction Baudrillard builds on the work The System of Objects and demonstrates how humans make objects ‘sacred’ through symbolism, consumption, … [Read more...] about Myths, Ethics and Enactment in Risk

Identity and Safety

August 3, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

The term identity politics has its source in the 1970s and defines the political identity of groups under various forms of oppression. Often this expression ‘identity politics’ is used pejoratively (https://www.vox.com/identities/2016/12/2/13718770/identity-politics ) and coupled with other silly … [Read more...] about Identity and Safety

Psychosocial Controls and Measures for Who?

August 2, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

The fixation and psychosis of the safety industry with ‘controls’ and ‘measures’ creates the delusion that psychosocial issues can be controlled and measured. When it comes to psychosocial issues, the last thing that helps is quantitative language and simplistic mythology. And the latest Worksafe … [Read more...] about Psychosocial Controls and Measures for Who?

Cultural Silences in Safety – Empathy

July 20, 2022 by Dr Rob Long 1 Comment

There are so many silences in safety I’m sure we could keep this series going for months (https://safetyrisk.net/category/safety-culture-silences/ ) but perhaps just a few more and we might call it ‘quits’. But you have to ask yourself, why is Safety so noisy on so many petty things and so silent … [Read more...] about Cultural Silences in Safety – Empathy
