In our last week's discussion on #PatientSafety in MP Shah, one of the questions that came up was, 'how do you ensure a culture of safety?' Two tips from me: 1. Always blame the system, not the person, for any errors. Given then same systemic circumstances and conditions, another person would suffer the same outcome. 2. Separate any disciplinary/accountability matter from the Root Cause Analysis exercise. My fellow panelist shared a tip whereby his institution encourages and rewards the department with the most reported incidents. Talk of celebrating failures to breed success. We need to empower our staff on self reporting of quality incidents

What convinced you? As H&S practitioners, leaders and regulators, we seek the key to influence others to embrace safety as the presence of capacity, not the absence of failure. Perhaps there is not one answer; one same truth that convinced us all. No equation nor ironic measure of exposure to evolved safety content that magically turned our minds. Perhaps this knowledge exists in our individual stories. If we shared those stories, could we find nuggets and gems to inform what we might do next? What was it then? What changed your mind? #regulatingdifferently

When we sponsored research to explore the role of decision-making in serious injury and fatality (SIF) prevention, decisions made above the front line played a bigger role than we expected. Of the over 600 decisions found to have influenced the 60 SIF events, two-thirds were made by individuals in management positions. Interested in learning more about how decisions throughout the levels of your organization are connected and how to create a Safe Decision Network?
