Don’t let biases affect your incident report investigations. Focus on the latent conditions and not on the trigger. It is okay to place your policies and systems under a microscope. #safety #lead #thehumanelement #hownotwhy
Unsafe acts and conditions are symptoms not causes. These triggers will reveal latent symptoms/ conditions. Fix the problem not the symptoms! #safety #truth #opportunity #fantheflame #humanelement
