  • Ep 8: The harm in zero harm
    Is Zero Harm a laudable approach or a misdirection--an illusion--associated with higher fatality rates?This episode dives into the paper from: Sherratt, F., & Dainty, A. R. (2017). UK construction safety: a zero paradox?. Policy and practice in health and safety, 15(2), 108-116.Feel free to shout me a coffee to support my site &podcasts: https://buymeacoffee.com/benhutchinsonMore research at SafetyInsights.Org Intro/Output "Dark Synth Wave" by ElephantGreen(PixaBay.com)

  • Ep 7: How investigations blind us to control effectiveness
    Are our investigations blinded to the functioning and effectiveness of risk controls? Are our current approaches, and mental models about how safety events occur, defined less by what they unpack and more by what they leave in the dark?This study unpacks these questions, and evaluates how accident investigators consider, or not, the functioning of risk controls within the context of investigations.Ref: Dodshon, P., & Hassall, M. E. (2017). Practitioners’ perspectives on incident investigations. Safety science, 93, 187-198.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)

  • Ep #6: Audit Masquerade - How audits provide comfort rather than treatment for serious safety problems
    Are audits effective checks and verifications of our risk control systems?Are they diving deep into the functionality and effectiveness of systems and practices, and evaluating actual daily, hazardous work? Or, are they mostly rustling paperwork at the expense of real operational hazards?Ref: Hutchinson, B., Dekker, S., & Rae, A. (2024). Audit masquerade: How audits provide comfort rather than treatment for serious safety problems. Safety science, 169, 106348.Feel free to shout me a coffee to support my site &podcasts: https://buymeacoffee.com/benhutchinsonMore research at SafetyInsights.Org Intro/Output "Dark Synth Wave" by ElephantGreen(PixaBay.com)

  • Ep 5: What you find in investigations isn't what you fix
    Conventional logic suggests that we fix the gaps that we find in investigations. But is this the case?Is the investigation process more a socially constructed game of sociopolitical whack-a-mole, finding and fixing the things that are easily solved or understandable, or tolerable to the organisation? Lundberg, J., Rollenhagen, C., & Hollnagel, E. (2010). What you find is not always what you fix—How other aspects than causes of accidents decide recommendations for remedial actions. Accident Analysis & Prevention, 42(6), 2132-2139.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)

  • Ep 4: The links between fatal and non-fatal accidents based on >23k incidents
    Is there a connection between fatal and non-fatal accidents, or is it a fallacy to focus on the minor potential events with the hope of managing the major events?Today's study explores these relationships based on 23k reported serious accidents in the Netherlands.Ref: Bellamy, L. J. (2015). Exploring the relationship between major hazard, fatal and non-fatal accidents through outcomes and causes. Safety Science, 71, 93-103.Feel free to shout me a coffee to support my site &podcasts: https://buymeacoffee.com/benhutchinsonMore research at SafetyInsights.Org Intro/Output "Dark Synth Wave" by ElephantGreen(PixaBay.com)
