Effective Safety is an outcome, not a system.
Developing adaptive safety systems requires dedication to trust. Organisations need to trust the people who work for them to perform the tasks and create productivity.
To have a preoccupation with understanding the organisation’s failures (no matter how small) to truly learn and to use these failures to monitor and anticipate possible future events.
Refusing to simplify their understanding of the tasks and the related interactions from the internal and external environment to extend their learning and continuously monitor change.
All this builds sensitivity to the organisation’s complex environments, enabling work to be performed in ways that improve productivity, efficiency, and safety while allowing the experts performing these tasks to shine.
This helps build the organisation’s capacity to produce while building the safety of work. Enabling employees to develop, participate, and control their health & safety outcomes creates the capacity for the organisation to be truly resilient.
