Another brick in the wall

October 6, 2018 by Bernard Corden Leave a Comment

Another brick in the wall An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern Tony Benn 1 Almost all education has a political motive, which promotes national, religious or social group interests at the expense of its detractors. It determines the subjects taught, the knowledge provided or suppressed and the customs and conventions students […]

Right and Wrong in Safety

October 2, 2018 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Right and Wrong in Safety Safety is fundamentally a moral and ethical activity. Any desire for a ‘good’ or a virtue, necessitates an ethic. Unfortunately, even in how Safety shapes its own identity it doesn’t know nor consciously articulate an ethic. Even the brand of ‘professional’ demands an ethic. (It ought be remembered too that […]

No Moral Compass in Zero

September 28, 2018 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

No Moral Compass in Zero ‘Humans by nature are social animals that are intended to co-inhabit in a polis’ William Bennett (1996) The Moral Compass, Stories of a Life’s Journey. Ethics is the study of moral philosophy and moral systems. Without an ethic one cannot have an understanding of the core principles that guide behavior. […]

No Help for Mental Health in Zero

A Parallel Universe in Safety

September 4, 2018 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

A Parallel Universe in Safety I remember as a kid listening to my mother speak to other people about her marriage and often saying habitually ‘never a cross word’ (between her and Dad). I used to wonder if we lived in the same household because, that was not the reality. I am sure my Mum […]

Making Language in Safety Meaningful

September 1, 2018 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Making Language in Safety Meaningful Kakutani (The Death of Truth) helps us understand the power of confusion and doubt with the strategy of ‘fake news’ in the common era (https://www.amazon.com/Death-Truth-Notes-Falsehood-Trump/dp/0525574824 ). This was captured splendidly in the documentary Merchants of Doubt (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqiCLuOtXts&pbjreload=10). Merchants of Doubt should be compulsory viewing for all safety people. One doesn’t […]

No Alcohol for the True Believers

August 28, 2018 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

No Alcohol for the True Believers We know that zero vision and zero harm are all about belief, this was displayed proudly at the World Congress on Safety (https://safetyrisk.net/zero-vision-as-propaganda/ ). Zero Vision and Zero Harm are ideologies based on absolutes for fallible people. Well here is one for the cult of zero harm. Let’s see […]

Zero Vision but Purchase Insurance

August 12, 2018 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Zero Vision but Purchase Insurance One of the realities of maturity in fallibility is understanding finiteness, vulnerability and risk. The profession of infallibility is a sign of a mental health problem. It’s because we don’t talk non-sense to ourselves that we purchase insurance. It’s because we know human life is random and not in our […]

Safety’s Garden of Eden Complex

August 11, 2018 by Dr Rob Long Leave a Comment

Safety’s Garden of Eden Complex One of the enduring myths of the risk and safety industry is the naive belief in paradise. Paradise is that mythical place where no-ne will be harmed. We see this nonsense yearning for utopia demonstrated in the Bradley Curve  and the ideological nonsense of zero harm. The yearning for a […]
