One of mine relates to DCog and is from a study where we were testing initial ideas around distributed situation awareness (DSA). Using our command and control sim, we explored the use of different combinations of media to support collaboration in a mission planning task

"Systems are not working out of the box...they have to be tweaked and tuned and coddled and stroked and kissed and prayed to, and you have to burn the right kind of incense in order to get your systems to run." Richard Cook #systemsthinking #systems #humanfactors #complexity

What a lovely read.

@yorsafety I also wonder where is the "admirable" towards ZH for environmental damage? or toward ZH from bias? or perverse incentives (e.g., TRIFR KPI)? #towardszeroharmfromwhat

[Brian Thoroman MSc. PhD @BThoroman]

Quick question for all the hard working safety people. Does talking with a 'zero harmer' ever feel like arguing with a flat-earther or anti-vaxxer? Recent experience indicates sometimes yes.

@AdamJohns88 Good point esp. in context of ISO 45003

[Brian Thoroman MSc. PhD @BThoroman]

@DrPaulSalmon Personal preference is as designed and minor adaptations as context/situation/audience requires (and write down mods). Have to be honest about why, what, how of change. Also, might be another method that does what I want so continiued learning important.
