Thanks for sharing the post and your background Len!
Re: "Keep safety consciousness up and back your front line people . "
It seems clear to me that while your advice makes sense, in practice not
certain it has been working.
e.g., "Prevention By Design" feels and sounds good but still the results are not reliably safe.
So, Len, if you would review the attached slide deck, and then provide more insight, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Bill

Worked in very dangerous marine diving work of the past . OSHA ( Occupational Safety Health Administration ) guide line are helpful . Been in situation with injury and death happening with one incident . Keep safety consciousness up and back your front line people .

Faced with compelling evidence that the ratio of fatal and nonfatal injuries is not constant,
there has been a desire to identify what is different about SIFs.
Within the safety profession, the idea that the things that hurt people are not the same as the things that kill people
has begun to replace the antiquated view that SIFs will be prevented by addressing LSIs.
Cheers,
Bill
