C5 closingtime sarkus
David Sarkus MS, CSP
December 3, 2019

Individual oversights and errors can and will eventually lead to unwanted consequences. However, we need multiple checks and balances that limit fallout and the continuance of loss, or possibly, an egregious event.

How NOT to manage safety

Blame the victim, ignore standards, roll the dice
David F. Coble MS CSP
November 2, 2019

A Personal Story of Human Errors

Remember: You can’t change the human condition
Davejohnson
Dave Johnson
October 2, 2019

Yes, this is a story about errors - plural - made by one person, me. I’m not going to beat myself up here. James Reason, professor emeritus at the University of Manchester (UK), and one of the seminal authorities on human error, reminds us that most errors are caused by good, competent people who are trying to do the right thing.

Davejohnson
Dave Johnson
November 12, 2018
A tricky thing, disciplining employees. Every safety pro has a story about discipline:“I had to terminate a woman in 1987 because her body odor was so repulsive, affecting other workers (and her boss… me),” says a pro who requested anonymity. “I remember progressive discipline...

Kurt Krueger
April 12, 2018
Recently a Hawaiian civil defense employee sent an emergency alert that a ballistic missile threat was headed for Hawaii, and that residents should seek shelter. It was a mistake, a human error. Panic ensued and it took 38 minutes to correct the error.
