Hoodwinked by Heinrich

December 23, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Hoodwinked by Heinrich I have written before about the Heinrich Hoax and Delusion (https://safetyrisk.net/ration-delusions-and-heinrichs-hoax/), the Heinrich Hoodoo (https://safetyrisk.net/the-heinrich-hoodoo/) and Heinrich Propaganda (https://safetyrisk.net/the-heinrich-hoodoo/).

Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright in Safety

November 15, 2022 by Dr Rob Long 6 Comments

Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright in Safety One of Dylan’s greatest songs is about the power of indifference (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-Y3KfJs6T0 ), not just to love but to people in general. There’s nothing quite like the masquerade of care when in reality you don’t give a s&*t. The clip … [Read more...] about Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright in Safety

The Fallibility Factor

November 5, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Isn’t it strange that we read everywhere in safety about ‘Human Factors’ but never about the Fallibility Factors. Fallibility is the character, status, quality, nature and the enduring permanence of being a human person. Fallibility is essential for learning and risk. Fallibility is the … [Read more...] about The Fallibility Factor

Injury Rates Are Up, You’re Sacked

October 21, 2022 by Dr Rob Long 3 Comments

Injury Rates Are Up, You’re Sacked One of the perpetually grand delusions of Safety is that injury rates define safety. I have known some amazing, skilled, caring and helping people in safety over the last few years and all have left the industry. Most were sacked because injury rates went up. One … [Read more...] about Injury Rates Are Up, You’re Sacked

Catching the NEBOSH Bus to Nowhere

October 19, 2022 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

The Less You See, the More Likely to Die

October 14, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

The Less You See, the More Likely to Die Recent research shows that vision impairment is related to death rate (https://neurosciencenews.com/mortality-visual-impairment-17960/). So if you say you spruik zero, then better get out your glasses. I wrote all about the nature of vision in my latest … [Read more...] about The Less You See, the More Likely to Die

Asking Better Questions in Risk

September 29, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Asking Better Questions in Risk I have written before about questioning skills: https://safetyrisk.net/questioning-skills-and-investigations/ https://safetyrisk.net/conforming-and-questioning-in-safety/ https://safetyrisk.net/critical-thinking-and-questioning-in-safety/ Unfortunately, there … [Read more...] about Asking Better Questions in Risk

A Moral Dilemma for Safety

September 29, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

A Moral Dilemma for Safety Morals and Ethics are NOT the same thing, despite what the ‘Micky Mouse’ chapter on Ethics in the AIHS BoK states ( p.1). It is critical that the difference between moral and ethics be defined and understood, particularly in understanding the way Safety dehumanizes … [Read more...] about A Moral Dilemma for Safety

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

Paperwork and Usability in Tackling Risk

August 3, 2022 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
