  • E16: Systems thinking and investigations
    Do construction investigations take broader systems perspectives of accident causation, or stuck in the mud focused on local factors, people and behaviour?Further, do investigations help organisations navigate complex, often entangled sociotechnical matters, or hinder progress in safety capacities?Today’s paper is from Woolley, M. J., Goode, N., Read, G. J., & Salmon, P. M. (2019). Have we reached the organisational ceiling? a review of applied accident causation models, methods and contributing factors in construction.  Theoretical issues in ergonomics science, 20(5), 533-555.Feel free to shout me a coffee to support my site &podcasts: https://buymeacoffee.com/benhutchinsonMore research at SafetyInsights.OrgIntro/Output "Dark Synth Wave" by ElephantGreen (PixaBay.com)Make sure to subscribe to Safe As on Spotify/Apple, and if you find it useful then please help share the news, and leave a rating and review on your podcast app.I also have a Safe As LinkedIn group if you want to stay up to date on releases.

  • E15: Root Cause Analyses (RCA) and incident prevention: do they work?
    Many organisations rely on their root cause analyses (RCA) to help learn about incidents, and, ideally, prevent incident reoccurrences.So the logic goes. But does the published evidence support RCA approaches as effective means for preventing incident reoccurrences?Today's paper is Martin-Delgado, J., Martínez-García, A., Aranaz, J. M., Valencia-Martín, J. L., & Mira, J. J. (2020). How much of root cause analysis translates into improved patient safety: a systematic review. Medical Principles and Practice, 29(6), 524-531.Feel free to shout me a coffee to support my site &podcasts: https://buymeacoffee.com/benhutchinsonMore research at SafetyInsights.OrgIntro/Output "Dark Synth Wave" by ElephantGreen (PixaBay.com)Make sure to subscribe to Safe As on Spotify/Apple, and if you find it useful then please help share the news, and leave a rating and review on your podcast app.I also have a Safe As LinkedIn group if you want to stay up to date on releases.

  • Ep 14: Leadership walkarounds - ritualistic peacocking or solid trust building?
    We've all heard about or been part of them - leader walkarounds.Are walkarounds backed by solid evidence - do they build break down silos, enhance trust, and foster psychological safety, or more symbolic peacocking activities to be *seen* to care, rather than *actually* caring?Today's article is Foster, M., & Mazur, L. (2023). Impact of leadership walkarounds on operational, cultural and clinical outcomes: a systematic review. BMJ Open Quality, 12(4), e002284.Feel free to shout me a coffee to support my site &podcasts: https://buymeacoffee.com/benhutchinsonMore research at SafetyInsights.OrgIntro/Output "Dark Synth Wave" by ElephantGreen (PixaBay.com)Make sure to subscribe to Safe As on Spotify/Apple, and if you find it useful then please help share the news, and leave a rating and review on your podcast app.I also have a Safe As LinkedIn group if you want to stay up to date on releases.

  • Ep 13: Do near misses increase risky decision making?
    Conventional wisdom suggests investigating and circulating knowledge of near misses. These 'free lessons', so it goes, are supposed to help us learn without the need for injury or damage.But can near misses also lead to a desensitisation of risk over time, focusing on the achieved success, rather than the near loss?Today's paper is from Dillon, R. L., & Tinsley, C. H. (2016). Near-miss events, risk messages, and decision making.  Environment Systems and Decisions, 36(1), 34-44.Feel free to shout me a coffee to support my site &podcasts: https://buymeacoffee.com/benhutchinsonMore research at SafetyInsights.OrgIntro/Output "Dark Synth Wave" by ElephantGreen(PixaBay.com)Make sure to subscribe to Safe As on Spotify/Apple, and if you find it useful then please help share the news, and leave a rating and review on your podcast app.I also have a Safe As LinkedIn group if you want to stay up to date on releases.

  • Ep 12: Human performance in barrier/critical control systems
    How do you consider the role of people within your barrier or critical control system - threat or adaptable strength?What are some fallacies of human performance, like being unreliable bad apples, and how best to incorporate the strengths of people, while limiting performance variability?Today's paper is from McLeod, R. W. (2017). Human factors in barrier management: Hard truths and challenges. Process Safety and Environmental Protection, 110, 31-42.Feel free to shout me a coffee to support my site &podcasts: https://buymeacoffee.com/benhutchinsonMore research at SafetyInsights.OrgIntro/Output "Dark Synth Wave" by ElephantGreen(PixaBay.com)Make sure to subscribe to Safe As on Spotify/Apple, and ifyou find it useful then please help share the news, and leave a rating and review on your podcast app.I also have a Safe As LinkedIn group if you want to stay up to date on releases.
