A pocket guide to recognizing and avoiding the cognitive biases that distort incident investigations. "Check Yourself" helps investigators reach fairer, more accurate conclusions about what really happened.
Defines learning teams as a group of people who come together to understand how work is actually done rather than how it is imagined. Rather than investigating blame or searching for root causes, it uses listening and sense-making to help the organization create better, safer work.
Presents strong evidence that serious injuries and fatalities arise from different causes than lower-severity injuries, dismantling the long-held assumption of a fixed injury ratio. It argues that tracking and preventing SIFs demands a targeted approach rather than relying on overall injury rates.
Proposes severity-based lagging indicators as an alternative to TRIR, weighting incidents by how serious they are rather than counting all recordables equally. A measure designed to better reflect the safety outcomes that matter most.
An interactive tool for rating the quality of a field leadership engagement, helping leaders gauge how effectively they prepared for, connected with, and learned from frontline workers.
A scorecard for rating a leadership engagement from an observer's point of view, scoring whether the leader was prepared, attentive, and genuinely connected with workers. Pairs with the worker version for a fuller picture of engagement quality.
A scorecard for rating a leadership engagement from the worker's point of view, using weighted statements about whether the leader listened, connected personally, and understood the job. A simple way to measure engagement quality as workers experience it.
An interactive tool for scoring the quality of a pre-job safety meeting against best-practice criteria, so crews can measure how thoroughly hazards and work steps were addressed before work begins.
An interactive tool for scoring the quality of a safety observation against research-based criteria, giving observers a precise, reliable measure of how well the activity was carried out, not just that it happened.
A field-ready guide to spotting 'safety clutter,' the activities that consume time and attention without improving safety, using definitions, probing questions, examples, and countermeasures for each type. Designed for use during safety walks, reviews, and planning.
The full research report behind the decluttering model, developed with 28 safety professionals and field experiments at eleven sites, presenting a diagnostic approach to identify, classify, and remove safety clutter.
The taxonomy at the heart of decluttering safety, classifying clutter into families and types, each with a definition, real field examples, and a countermeasure, so teams can name and remove what isn't adding value.
