How to Enable Unethical Practice in Safety

December 7, 2024 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

There are a range of ways to make sure that Safety harms people in the name of no harm. The first is to supress critical thinking and believe that any criticism of Safety is anti-safety. The opposite is the case. Nothing in safety will improve if criticism of Safety is interpreted as demonising … [Read more...] about How to Enable Unethical Practice in Safety

Critical Issues in Investigations not Addressed in Latest AIHS BoK Chapter

May 7, 2024 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

In all of my time undertaking investigations I have found there is no more important skill than pastoral care. Knowing how to recognise persons who are traumatised and how to respond is critical for any first responders or investigators. Unfortunately, people in safety are not educated in the … [Read more...] about Critical Issues in Investigations not Addressed in Latest AIHS BoK Chapter

Method and Message Congruence in Risk

November 11, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

One of the toughest tasks in leadership and management is managing the narrative. Nothing does greater damage to brand, reputation and credibility than hypocrisy and incongruence between espoused ethic and moral action (yes AIHS BoK, there is a difference). In Australia this week we saw a huge … [Read more...] about Method and Message Congruence in Risk

Speak Up, but Don’t Tackle the Cause

October 22, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Safety loves telling people to ‘speak up’ but has no interest in tackling the cause. Indeed, Safety is the industry of silences about what ought to matter (https://safetyrisk.net/category/safety-culture-silences/), and noisy about what doesn’t matter. But if you can’t speak up, you can always … [Read more...] about Speak Up, but Don’t Tackle the Cause

If You’re Happy in Safety, Clap Your Hands

August 27, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

When we were kids we used to sing this song in Primary school and it is still sung by kids today (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwTwt4oIW3U). It is a cute little song and easy to sing when one is innocent about the world and comes from a comfortable middle-class home. In some ways the singing of … [Read more...] about If You’re Happy in Safety, Clap Your Hands

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. We know about zero vision but did you know that a career in safety makes you an education expert? Apparently so. Wonderful how … [Read more...] about Poisoning the Professional Waterhole

Safety Culture Surveys

June 28, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Safety Culture Surveys If you do a search for ‘safety culture survey’ on Google it gets 2,720,000,000 results, a sure sign of an industry that thinks it knows what culture is and how to change it. Of course, the institutionalisation of the charisma … [Read more...] about Safety Culture Surveys

Catching the NEBOSH Bus to Nowhere

June 27, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Isn’t it strange this industry that sets up people to enter the workplace with none of the skills or curricula needed to do the job or even better, fully equipped to do the wrong job. In the standard NEBOSH curriculum there is nothing on: people, motivation, perception, judgment and decision … [Read more...] about Catching the NEBOSH Bus to Nowhere

Paperwork and Usability in Tackling Risk

June 27, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 4 Comments

Most workers don’t ‘use’ paperwork, they just sign it just as many workers don’t read paperwork they just give it the ‘tick and flick’. The idea of excessive paperwork in safety is much more a middle management problem than a worker problem. The real decisions on the job where the greatest risk is … [Read more...] about Paperwork and Usability in Tackling Risk
