ADVICE

Make New Safety Ideas Stick

  • After learning new concepts, recall them from memory within 24–48 hours to cement retention.
  • Reinforce by discussing with a peer and scheduling recurring calendar reminders for key insights.
INSIGHT

Accidents Are Consolidations Of Subtleties

  • Most incidents are a "consolidation of subtleties" rather than a single root cause.
  • Effective solutions combine several small changes that reinforce each other rather than one magic fix.
ADVICE

Prioritize Learning Over Pure Control

  • Use a learning-based approach for tasks involving human judgment and adaptation.
  • Blend controls with learning, but default toward learning when work is complex and changing.
