What is safety thinking?

What is safety thinking?

SafetySynthesis facets: Safety thinking and safety methods. Safety thinking cannot be static, but must undergo continuous development and revision so that it corresponds to the ‘real’ world. One development in safety thinking has to do with how things happen in the world, especially the cases where things go wrong.

What is safety 2. 0?

Safety-II is the system’s ability to function as required under varying conditions, so that the number of intended and acceptable outcomes (in other words, everyday activities) is as high as possible.

What are Safety-II principles?

In Safety-II, the principle of safety management is proactive: to continuously try to anticipate developments and events in an uncertain future. Yet safety efforts reach far beyond the assessment of visible risks and calculations of probability. Paths towards unlikely, unthinkable outcomes are explored and discussed.

What is work as imagined?

1. Work-as-imagined (WAI) refers to the various assumptions, explicit or implicit, that people have about how their or others’ work should be done. 2. Work-as-done (WAD) refers to how something is actually done, either in a specific case or routinely.

What is the difference between safety I and Safety-II?

Safety I takes accidents as the focus point and tries to prevent bad things from occurring, while Safety-II is emphasizing on ensuring that as much as possible goes right, expanding much more than the area of incident prevention and promoting a real safety management over a simple risk assessment.

What is safety 1 and safety 2 in healthcare?

The traditional view of safety, called Safety-I, has consequently been defined by the absence of accidents and incidents, or as the ‘freedom from unacceptable risk. This corresponds to a view of safety, called Safety-II, which defines safety as the ability to succeed under varying conditions.

What is safety model?

A safety model is a set of beliefs or hypotheses (often implicit) about the features and conditions that contribute to the safety of a system. The mental models concerning safety are important because they impact system design, operational decisions and behaviours.

What exactly is safety differently?

Safety Differently is the name given to a movement within the safety industry that challenges organisations to view three key areas of their business differently – how safety is defined, the role of people, and the focus of the business.

What is Domino Theory in safety?

Domino Theory — a theory of accident causation and control, developed by H.W. The chain of events consists of the following sequential factors: ancestry and social environment, an individual’s mistake, an unsafe action and/or physical hazard, the actual accident, and an injury as the result of the preceding factors.

What is Heinrich theory?

Heinrich’s Law in a workplace, for every accident that causes a major injury, there are 29 accidents that cause minor injuries and 300 accidents that cause no injuries. Heinrich’s law is based on probability and assumes that the number of accidents is inversely proportional to the severity of those accidents.
