Can low injury rates hide the risk of a major disaster?
This YouTube/Spotify episode based on the work from Emeritus Professor Andrew Hopkins, unpacks the limits of injury measures, reassuring audits, and explanations that end with ‘operator error’.
We move past proximal causes (like equipment failure) to unpack:
a) how warning signs are overlooked
b) what organisations choose to measure & how they construct causes
c) distorted safety metrics
d) how critical operational feedback is, or isn’t, acted on
