• E20: SMS certification and its impacts on safety performance

  We chase certifications, implement systems, but what impact are we really having on operational performance? Is achieving certification, like ISO 18001 or 45001, really about improving the governance, assurance, or performance of systems, or is it more about window dressing and legitimacy, being seen to be doing the right thing?Today's pod covers: Dyreborg, J., Thorsen, S. V., Madsen, C. U., & Hasle, P. (2024). Effectiveness of OHSAS 18001 in reducing accidents at work.

• E18: When Emotion Leads Risk - risk as feelings and not just numbers

  Risk in safety is often framed in matrices as likelihood x consequences. It holds an allure of (semi)objectivity - the numbers are the numbers.But what is the role of emotion and feelings within our risk judgements? Today's article argues that what we 'feel' about risk precedes and influences what we 'think' about risk.This pod's article is: Slovic, P., Finucane, M. L., Peters, E., & MacGregor, D. G. (2013). Risk as analysis and risk as feelings: Some thoughts about affect, reason, risk and rationality. In The feeling of risk (pp. 21-36).

• E17: Critical Decisions & Local Rationality: Tools for making sense of situations

  Why did they do that, what an idiot! What if our inability to understand the apparent stupidity of an action, after the fact, is more an issue with us, than with the decisions or actions of the person you're judging?What are better ways--specific tools--to unpack the critical decisions and actions, and make sense of the local rationality of people caught within these situations?Today's pod unpacks two articles:Klein, G. A., Calderwood, R., & Macgregor, D. (1989). Critical decision method for eliciting knowledge. IEEE Transactions on systems, man, and cybernetics, 19(3), 462-472.Roe, L.
