Get REAL About Safety: Recent Episodes
Mike McCarroll & Pamela Fisher
This podcast is presented by PROSAFE Solutions. We talk about the new view of safety, human performance, leadership, and culture improvement. Pam and Mike will have ongoing conversations about these topics as well as interviews with other safety professionals on the journey of continuous improvement and learning.
Attention is a finite resource. However, many traditional "accident investigations" tend to identify lack of situational awareness as a cause rather than a symptom of a deeper issue. Mike discusses how organizations need to move beyond judgmental statements to understanding how attention works.

Pam discusses the unfortunate default language, i.e. "complacency" and "failure to pay attention", often used post event. Use of these terms indicate a lack of understanding of human performance principles and does not offer value in event analysis.
Culpability is the gorilla in the room for most managers trying to understand Human Performance (or The New View of Safety). For decades organizations have managed safety under a model of "crime & punishment". This paradigm is so prevalent that many have a difficult time getting their minds around the fact that not everything is a "safety crime". This podcast will help sort out the differences between what is punishable and what is not.

Mike discusses the landmark contributions of W. Edwards Deming to quality improvement and how those principles mirror Human Performance or The New View of safety.
Pam discusses the clash between science and politics in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis in contrast to the 1918 pandemic.
