An unnamed safety cynic has observed the poor and careless efforts of leaders, and he claims to have witnessed the result of lax systems and over complicated methodologies. He has seen the promotion of hiding valuable truths and judging with a protective bias. He have seen the misguided. It is for these deficiencies that he claims to get frustrated...doing is so easy. We often see a long list of recommendations after a major incident, we often see over reactive actions. We see many say what should have happened, what should have been done and what should have been in place, this said often by those who should have done in the first place. This in-itself is reactive. Those should haves, should have done. He believes what we all need to do is get talking, get asking questions, get thinking, get listening, get time to evaluate news and information, get time to read and learn from experts and non-experts who have been writing about how to improve safety for years and how to get active by being proactively focused on failures.
We need to not only read through these mindful views, we need to put them into practice. He read that or went to that course only to not apply anything that was promoted. The only way we are ever going to reduce these controllable incidents is if we get serious not consider serious. Training has to be functional, risk management has to be implemented, incident investigations need to be thorough and most of all, we need to ensure pressures are controlled in an manner that gives conducting tasks an ethical sense of practicality. Safety does not belong to the safety department or to the safety officer, or a union representative, safety belongs to each one of us and each one of us is within an entity, and entities should be as one, whatever that means. He cites incidents of greed. This un-named person may be a crackpot but it is worth a read to a greater or lesser extent for the purpose of looking for new ideas.
