March 30, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 4 Comments

The Social Politics of Psychosocial Safety

February 19, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

One of the most reliable factors in safety Discourse is ensuring that there is never any talk about the elephant in the room. We see this in safety Discourse about Ethics (AIHS BoK Chapter).

Sending and Receiving Talk is NOT Conversation

February 18, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Ignorance about self-capability and about what other professions do, is a sure-fire way to fuel the idea that Safety can do anything. Just because you have a mouth, ears and can talk doesn’t mean one is skilled in observation, listening and helping. When you don’t know what Educators do, you … [Read more...] about Sending and Receiving Talk is NOT Conversation

Safety Schizophrenia, a Symptom of Psychosocial and Mental Ill-Health

February 8, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Not Just Another ‘Hazard’

February 3, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

When one reads ISO 45003 or any other Codes of Practice regarding Psychosocial Health it is clear that the engineers are in town.

ISO 45003 and What it Cannot Do

February 1, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

As we read through the ISO Standard 45003 we see so much nonsense language it is difficult to know where to start. So, let’s just progress through the document and respond to the language used.

The Language of ‘Hazards’ and Psychosocial, Mental Health

January 31, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 2 Comments

Safety is the industry of ‘hazards’ and ‘controls’. This is the most popular and frequently used language for an industry that struggles to be ethical and professional.
