This safety moment just reminds us that expertise is everywhere in your organization.  You are not the sole owner of good ideas.  You don't really know how work is done.  You don't have a lock on operational knowledge.
The workers have an expertise that you can never have.  User of your systems know things about your systems you simply don't know.   
Knowing this makes life better.  Listen to this episode and enjoy!  Thanks for making the podcast great!

Safety Moment - Humans have a bias towards optimism

Safety Podcast, New Safety, Safety Learning, Human Performance, Safety II, Operational Learning
We believe we can do it!   
Humans have an unyielding bias toward success.  I would suggest this bias is what has kept us alive as a species and had led to much success and improvement.  It is not a bad thing.
It does make thinking about risk a bit complicated and tricky.   
Enjoy this episode.  I think you make the podcast a hit.  Thanks for listening.

Safety Moment - Tacit V Explicit Knowledge: Battle Royal!

One of the most interesting parts about being human is this:  The stuff you know you know, the stuff you don't know, the stuff you don't know you know, and the stuff you will never know.   This is a tiny bit Donald Rumfeildian, I know, but the difference between the stuff you know and can talk about and the stuff you know and can't talk about is quite amazing.
Listen to this podcast.   It will make you think!  Thanks for making the podcast a hit.  It is sure fun to go on this ride with you.

PAPod 66 - A Discussion on Human Error

Safety Podcast, New Safety, Safety Differently, Operational Excellence, Resilience, Safety II, 
Human Error is so normal it is boring and uninteresting.   Human Error is never causal.  Human Error is misunderstood.   Human error is used incorrectly in safety learning and corrective action planning.
What do we do with all this information?  Listen to this episode of the PreAccident Podcast and see what you think.

Safety Moment - Data Happens Post Decision

Safety Podcast, Safety Program, Investigations, Human Performance, Safety Differently, Operational Excellence
This discussion is pretty important.  You always know more after an event happens.  That sounds pretty obvious...and everything is obvious after it happens...but, we forget this in our organizations.  You don't know what will happen until you do the thing you are contemplating.  
Thanks for listing to the podcast.  You make the podcast go.
