Deep dives

The Power of the 4Ds

The podcast episode focuses on the concept of the 4Ds and how it has evolved beyond a mnemonic for worker safety. The 4Ds - dumb, dangerous, difficult, and different - now serve as a thinking frame and a lens through which workers can assess work conditions. Unlike traditional approaches that solely focus on worker behaviors, the 4Ds shift the focus towards system conditions, allowing for a critical appraisal of work tasks. This shift empowers workers to identify areas where risk is high or controls are low, leading to better conversations, learning, and ultimately, the creation of better work.
