Show Notes
Safety Podcast, Safety Program, Investigations, Human Performance, Safety Differently, Operational ExcellenceHow much do you really know about probability? Would you be angry if I told you that your stoplight chart to determine probability is wrong. Events either happen or don't happen...there is no in-between...none, zero, nada, zip, zilch, nil, zero.
All the time we spend guessing how likely it is an event will happen is not very valuable to our workers or our organization. We know, and have known for a long time, that workers don't really accurately guess probability. I think I am safe. I am not sure you are safe. Both ideas are wrong.
Listen and enjoy. Thanks for listening to the podcast. You are such a huge part of the success!!! Thanks.
