This presentation was recording at the 2014 Behavior Safety Now Conference in Buffalo, NY
About the presentation:
Want to turn the lights off on your safety culture? Then go and blame the worker. Call out the fact that injuries are their fault … and lose the chance to learn. Instead, approach the incident with a clear understanding of the cause and effect relationships between the behaviors that were related to the risk and the reasons why that person, knowingly or unknowingly, was put in the position to take that risk.
