Safety Moment - Noticing and Knowing

There is a huge difference between noticing and knowing.    
We often participate in a "collective ignoring" of the facts that exist in our organizations.   We see but we don't see.
We see but we don't see...
That is the difference between noticing and knowing:  Seeing.

PAPod 150 - Sidney Dekker and The Safety Anarchist

Sidney Dekker's newest book is just out and I like this one a lot.
The Safety Anarchist is a book, not about anarchy, but about standing up to the traditional paradigm and calling out the future - and it does not look the same.
This book is a thoughtful discussion of the changes that have been taking place.  It is solid argument (in the academic form of that word) for change.   The reviews alone are worth reading.
Listen and see what you think.
