25.01.2022 If you havent seen it already, check out this presentation by Sidney Dekker at DevOpDays in Brisbane. Enjoy! http://ow.ly/zUm97

24.01.2022 Do you agree with this characterisation of the Old and New View of Safety?

24.01.2022 In this inspiring Ted Talk, Sir Ken Robinson makes a convincing argument that creativity and innovation in children needs to be nurtured in the education system. As we grow older, we become more fearful of making mistakes and of being wrong, which he argues stifles creativity and innovation. As he says, "if youre not prepared to be wrong, youll never come up with anything original". His message that we need to celebrate the richness of human capacity resonated with many safety innovation ideas today - humans are a resource to harness, not a problem to control. http://ow.ly/AVCZF

24.01.2022 Sidney will be doing a Technical Excellence Office Guest Lecture at NASAs Safety Centre today!

23.01.2022 so safety isnt about the absence of somethingthat you need to count errors or monitor violations, and tabulate incidents and try to make those things go away..its about the presence of something. But the presence of what? When we find that things go right under difficult circumstances, its mostly because of peoples adaptive capacity; their ability to recognize, adapt to, and absorb changes and disruptions, some of which might fall outside of what the system is designed or trained to handle.- #SidneyDekker

23.01.2022 For those interested in the future of safety, get your hands on this book http://ow.ly/Aqbr4

23.01.2022 Not confusing at all!

23.01.2022 Want to know what Sidney Dekker thinks about Erik Hollnagels new book, Safety I, Safety II? Read his review here http://ow.ly/AqfbN

22.01.2022 Human error does not reveal anything about why an accident happened. There are a number of examples of mechanisms of error, which may be useful when debriefing: cognitive fixation; plan continuation; stress; fatigue; buggy or inert knowledge; new technology and computerization; automation surprises; procedural adaptations. Questions you could ask during an accident debrief include: What were you focusing on? What were you expecting to happen? If you had to describe the situation to your colleague at that point, what would you have told them? These sorts of approaches help prevent a simplistic, reductionist approach that places blame and burden on the end user and instead emerges with a more robust understanding of why an accident happened that furthers organisational learning.

20.01.2022 Check out this blog post by Dr. Rob Long, its worth a read! http://ow.ly/zGKjV

20.01.2022 Patient Safety, just culture, second victims & systems thinkingits all in this interview w. #SidneyDekker by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Have a read! Audio is also available http://ow.ly/zGM1h

20.01.2022 Are you a paper tiger, wedded to maze of policy, procedure & processes that constitutes the safety bureaucracy? http://ow.ly/Aqd35

20.01.2022 Looking for academic research on #safetyinnovation? Check out the huge list of publications written by our team! http://ow.ly/znDPy

18.01.2022 "The Bureaucratisation of Safety", written by Prof. Sidney Dekker and published in the journal Safety Science is currently available without restriction/for free access over the next 50 days! Prof. Dekker analyses the benefits of bureaucratisation as well as the secondary effects that run counter to its original goals, and presents ideas to address such problems. This is a topic that I know many of you are interested so I hope you find it useful and thought provoking. As always, let us know your thoughts, criticisms, ideas that the article stimulates! http://ow.ly/zUh2K

18.01.2022 This article by Corrie Pitzer on the Safety Differently blog goes to the heart of one of the core beliefs of the Safety Science Innovation Lab. That is, that organisations need to see humans not as a problem to control, but a resource to harness. Check it out! http://ow.ly/AO0kS

17.01.2022 Interested in safety? Get your hands on "Safety Differently: Human Factors for a New Era" by #SidneyDekker! http://ow.ly/BuGRz

17.01.2022 "Just Culture: Who gets to draw the line?" is an important article that highlights that culpability is socially constructed. Read to find out why and what it means for safety http://ow.ly/AO1NK

16.01.2022 A blog post by Dr. Rob Long asks, Is Safety a Choice You Make?. He takes issue with safety slogans that promote a simplistic understanding of safety, & promote a blaming culture. The comments at the end are also worth a read! http://ow.ly/AaRVA

15.01.2022 Prof. Sidney Dekker is presenting the keynote address today at the 56th Annual Meeting for the American Society for Radiation Oncology in San Fransciso, USA Rahttp://ow.ly/xE5f3

15.01.2022 This article provides an interesting perspective on the relationship between humans, systems & resilience. Have a read! http://ow.ly/zGD7X

15.01.2022 The talented Dr. Johan Bergstrom spent a few months with us at Griffith last year while he conducted research for his post-doc. Check out his engaging presentation What, Where and When is risk in system design? which provides some insight into different frames for constructing risk. Enjoy! http://ow.ly/yGb1Y

14.01.2022 One of our most popular Tweets for far: "Lets get rid of the bad pilots". Its an enjoyable read with substance - check it out! http://ow.ly/AO1og

14.01.2022 Safety culture: Facts, fiction and faith by Sidney Dekker for safetydifferently.com. A nice quick read for your Friday afternoon that gets straight to the heart of things! http://ow.ly/AqdYf

13.01.2022 A "zero" vision, aiming for no fatalities or serious injuries, does not come out of safety research. It is neither a research result, nor a scientific prediction. There is no accident theory underpinning it.

10.01.2022 Asking what is the cause (of an accident), is just as bizarre as asking what is the cause of not having an accident. Accidents have their basis in the real complexity of the system, not their apparent simplicity. (The Field Guide to Understanding Human Error p.xiii)

09.01.2022 Another article to get you thinking: What is rational about killing a patient with an overdose? Enlightenment, continental philosophy and the role of the human subject in system failure. http://ow.ly/AqhwD

09.01.2022 #SidneyDekker has also been interviewed on Bloomberg TV about the #MH17 tragedy - check it out! http://ow.ly/zGzlL

08.01.2022 Today Professor SidneyDekker will ask "Safe Operations: Are your people obstacles or enablers?" at SWIFT 2014 Conference & Trade Show http://ow.ly/w1bLn

07.01.2022 Check out the "Safety Differently" LinkedIn group to connect & share resources with other safety professionals http://ow.ly/Aqdjk

07.01.2022 Grab a cuppa and settle in to watch this hour-long presentation by Sidney Dekker at DevOpsDays in Brisbane. The topic is "System Failure, Human Error: Whos to Blame?" and was by all accounts, highly enjoyable and was a highlight of the conference! http://ow.ly/zUhkM

03.01.2022 Good morning! Grab a cuppa, sit back and read this article by Sidney Dekker, Paul Cilliers and Jan-Hendrik Hofmeyr: The complexity of failure: Implications of complexity theory for safety investigations. Important reading for those working in safety http://ow.ly/AqfJU

03.01.2022 It is important to remember that during an investigation, one angle or story necessarily excludes other angles; no single account can ever claim that it, alone, depicts the world as it is; and if you want to explore opportunities safety improvements, you need to understand complexity and multiple stories are essential.

02.01.2022 Do you think we should be doing safety differently? Want to shape, connect & share ideas & practices that can enable a safer world? This blog is for you! Full of interesting articles by practitioners and information of further resources, this blog will stimulate your thinking http://ow.ly/AqcBP
