Gimmicks and Myths of Avoidance in Safety

September 20, 2022 by Dr Rob Long 4 Comments

Someone sent me a thing the other day labelled as ‘brilliance’ and it was yet just another safety gimmick that yet again served as a distraction from discussing the essentials in safety – listening, helping, caring and learning.

Make Your Safety Slogan Social

February 2, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Zero Plus Infinity Times 10 = ?

March 9, 2020 by Admin 28 Comments

Zero Plus Infinity Times 10 = ? Following Dr Rob Long’s recent article Semiotics and Safety about the mindless gobbledygook that is terms like “Beyond Zero” and “Target Zero”, and the negative subconscious meanings they prime, a very despondent safety person sent us this photo.

Safety as Faith Healing

September 26, 2015 by Dr Rob Long 32 Comments

Just yesterday I was told, again, that if If don't believe in zero harm then I must want people to get hurt and therefore have no right to be in safety!
