Culture Silences in Safety – Socialitie

February 21, 2023 by Dr Rob Long 4 Comments

Culture Silences in Safety – Socialitie One of the biggest gaps in the way amateur safety defines culture is a complete absence of any discussion of socialitie. It was Meyer, Streeck and Jordan (2017 – Intercorporeality, Emerging Socialities in Interaction) who coined this term. Socialitie refers … [Read more...] about Culture Silences in Safety – Socialitie

The Difference Between Psycho-Social Health and Social-Psychology of Risk

February 10, 2023 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Whenever we have courses and programs there is some confusion about Psycho-Social and Social-Psycho risk. They are NOT the same and certainly focus on very different things. With all the recent interest in Psycho-Social risk it is worth explaining the distinction. The distinction is really about … [Read more...] about The Difference Between Psycho-Social Health and Social-Psychology of Risk

Ego First, Safety Second.

November 22, 2022 by Dr Rob Long 1 Comment

Ego Is Not a Dirty Word was the second studio album released by Australian pop rock band, Skyhooks, in July 1975. The lyrics of Skyhooks state (watch video below): If I did not have an ego, I would not be here tonight If I did not have an ego, I might not think that I was right If you did … [Read more...] about Ego First, Safety Second.

The Focus Should Be on Risk, Not Safety

October 14, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

One of the central problems with Safety is its focus on safety, a temporary outcome. The real focus of Safety should be on risk, the permanent and continual presence of uncertainty on outcomes. By focusing on the outcome of safety, the industry misunderstands risk and devalues it and with the … [Read more...] about The Focus Should Be on Risk, Not Safety

Essentials in Ethics for Safety

September 16, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

One day when safety understands that a mature approach to ethics is essential for being professional, it might hopefully tackle the essentials in ethical and moral thinking. Unfortunately, documents like the AIHS BoK Chapter on Ethics are so glaringly inadequate it is laughable. It is also clear … [Read more...] about Essentials in Ethics for Safety

Safety as a Masculinist Activity

August 3, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Every time we run a program or workshop the number of females that attend is quite low. Indeed, it is extremely difficult to find women who have stayed long in the safety industry. It is also difficult to find any women in the safety industry who openly profess a Feminist ethic. A recent report … [Read more...] about Safety as a Masculinist Activity

More Safety Code to Disguise Behaviourism

July 30, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

It’s always entertaining when Safety talks about what it believes in and it’s ‘values’ by omitting what it believes in and naming its values. Such is safety code (https://safetyrisk.net/deciphering-safety-code/). Take for example this piece, clearly Behaviourist (SHP meets Bertrand Gibert) that … [Read more...] about More Safety Code to Disguise Behaviourism

Why Safety is Attracted to Behaviourism

July 29, 2022 by Dr Rob Long 11 Comments

There is no doubt that simplistic back and white binary thinking and methods are attractive. Who wants complex or ‘wicked’ when a simple delusion will do. All you have to do is place such a worldview over reality and make it fit your assumptions and then ensure you never talk about any of the … [Read more...] about Why Safety is Attracted to Behaviourism

Cultural Silences in Safety – Aesthetics

July 25, 2022 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Whenever we do our culture program we work through the many beliefs, rituals and practices in societies that foster harm. So much for the nonsense of zero harm. Just watch the latest episode of 4 Corners to get an insight into just how much harm people want in order to fulfil a cultural myth. Why do … [Read more...] about Cultural Silences in Safety – Aesthetics

Cultural Silences in Safety – Empathy

July 20, 2022 by Dr Rob Long 1 Comment

There are so many silences in safety I’m sure we could keep this series going for months (https://safetyrisk.net/category/safety-culture-silences/ ) but perhaps just a few more and we might call it ‘quits’. But you have to ask yourself, why is Safety so noisy on so many petty things and so silent … [Read more...] about Cultural Silences in Safety – Empathy
