The 100-Hour Rule is the theory that to master a topic and get the benefits of greatness doesn’t need to take 10,000 hours. Rather, it can often take approximately 100 hours if you break down skills into rare and valuable micro-skills.
It is an exciting study that seems to have some validity to it. Basically, if we spent just 18 minutes a day (100 hours a year), we could master a skill.
Now industrial safety comprises many “skills” of workers expected to work safely. So I propose the following…
Safety is MORE about finding the SAFE BEHAVIORS and acknowledging and rewarding those behaviors than finding the UNSAFE BEHAVIORS and disciplining those behaviors.
I am not saying that we do away with accountability, but we first need to understand what is driving those “errors”, “mistakes”, and “violations”.
