Frontline Fundamentals - Safety Axioms with David McPeak, CUSP

Too often we focus so much on the nuts and bolts of safety (e.g., grounding procedures, Ohm’s law, work methods for a pole-top rescue) that we lose sight of the big picture. There’s no doubt the nuts and bolts are important, but they lose value if we don’t understand and apply the following safety axioms: Safety must be led, Culture drives behavior, people are not how we wish they were, Replace common sense with common knowledge, Measure what you want, Know the power of why and what, Engage in safety by design and defense in depth, Never need protective equipment including PPE, and Make everything plural.
