Why Your Safety System Might Be Making Things Worse, with Sidney Dekker

Why Your Safety System Might Be Making Things Worse, with Sidney Dekker

When safety systems become bloated, disconnected and more focused on paperwork than people, they can quietly create the very risks they were meant to prevent. That is exactly what I explored in this special Safety Roundtable with the brilliant Sidney Dekker. We challenged long-held beliefs about responsibility, compliance, human error and whether many systems are helping people succeed or simply getting in their way. If you want a fresh perspective on creating safer, smarter and more human-centred Organisations, this is one to hear. Join our next Safety Roundtable live to be part of conversations like this and bring your own questions to the table.

Highlights:

  • Why systems fail: when process matters more than real work.
  • Safety ownership: everyone who touches work shares responsibility.
  • Rules versus reality: people often adapt to get work done.
  • Human motivation: purpose drives better decisions than fear.
  • Variability at work: not all variation is dangerous.
  • Hearts and minds: telling people rarely guarantees action.
  • Documentation limits: records matter, but learning matters more.
  • Better systems: make work easier, clearer and safer
