Visualizing what’s missing: Using deep learning and Bow-Tie diagrams to identify and visualize missing leading indicators in industrial construction

This study, among a few other things, compared 633 incidents against >9 inspection reports with similar contexts to understand the overlap. Data was from a Canadian construction project over 3 years. E.g. They used multi-methods, including natural language processing, text mining, bow ties and more to evaluate if field inspections are looking at the same… Continue reading Visualizing what’s missing: Using deep learning and Bow-Tie diagrams to identify and visualize missing leading indicators in industrial construction

Formalised safety systems miss “three-quarters” of established factors linked to performance

Not much to say here – just found this an interesting extract from the ‘Digging Deeper’ focused on safety within NSW mining. They observe relating to the adoption of formalised safety management systems: ·        “Smaller organisations that take on such systems are often overwhelmed by their complexity” ·        And these systems “can be expensive to establish and… Continue reading Formalised safety systems miss “three-quarters” of established factors linked to performance

Safety is simple…apparently: two visual representations of the same incident

Safety is simple, bruz … (apparently) (Both examples show the same event, but each uses a different lens. Images are slides taken from one of my presentations to highlight how investigations can be as much ‘constructions’, as searches for ‘objective’ facts, entirely separate to the perceiver or who gets to draw the line in the… Continue reading Safety is simple…apparently: two visual representations of the same incident
