What Theory of Learning is Embedded in Your Investigation Methodology?

March 12, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

What Theory of Learning is Embedded in Your Investigation Methodology? It is always entertaining watching Safety turn complexity into simplistic discourse. Most recently we have seen a slight change in language about understanding event analysis, investigations and event review. It is good that the … [Read more...] about What Theory of Learning is Embedded in Your Investigation Methodology?

Being and Doing in Risk

November 12, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

I recently did a video with reference to the word ‘ontology’. I find it unusual in Safety that whenever an unfamiliar word is used, some respond with a keen interest to learn and others respond with negativity as if unfamiliar text is evidence of some kind of academic ‘psycho rhetoric’. It is a … [Read more...] about Being and Doing in Risk

By What Method Do You Tackle Risk?

November 11, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

When someone asks how? the meaning is ‘by what method?’ For example, how do you make a coffee? Means by what method do you make a coffee? Do you put milk in first, last or have no milk? Do you use instant, brewed or filtered. You get what I mean. When it comes to risk and we ask the question: … [Read more...] about By What Method Do You Tackle Risk?

So, if one looks at the iCam method one tends not to see its bias … [Read more...] about The Bias of Method Design in Risk

Learning, Leaning and Learning in Safety

July 7, 2021 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Learning, Leaning and Learning in Safety Methodology (worldview/philosophy) drives method. Method reveals methodology. Methodology and method are NOT the same thing. It matters what methodology one assumes about learning because this determines the expected outcomes of a method. Yet, in risk and … [Read more...] about Learning, Leaning and Learning in Safety

Methodology and an Ethic of Risk

June 15, 2021 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Methodology and an Ethic of Risk Methodology frames method. Methodology is not method despite the fact that many use the words interchangeably. A methodology is a philosophy, it is what drives method and its most important to be able to distinguish one from the other. If one experiences brutalism … [Read more...] about Methodology and an Ethic of Risk

By What Method?

April 22, 2018 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

By What Method? One of the strange beliefs of Safety is that the publication of injury statistics invokes change? Ah, how does it do that? Since when did information become motivation? When one looks at the many promises made in the safety industry and all the propaganda about zero, injury … [Read more...] about By What Method?
