Principles of Human Performance People are fallible, and even the best make mistakes
Error-likely situations are predictable, manageable and preventable
Individual behavior is influenced by organizational processes and values
People achieve high levels of performance based largely on the encouragement and reinforcement received from leaders, peers and subordinates
Accidents and issues can be avoided by understanding the reasons mistakes occur and applying the lessons learned from past events

Elements of a Healthy Safety Culture*Based on Reason (1997) The Components of Safety Culture: Definitions of Informed,
Reporting, Just, Flexible and Learning Cultures

“Just” means different things to different people
Implies that we believe the workplace can be made to be consistently fair (i.e., a noble goal but unrealistic)
Many managers believe they already have it
Obstacles to a “Just Culture”

Main objective: “Learning Culture” 1. Easier to integrate the message into Lab
culture than “Just Culture” 2. Views accidents and errors as providing
opportunities to learn rather than providing opportunities to punish
3. Appeals to creativity and problem solving skills
Learning Culture

Reporting Culture
Obstacles to a “Reporting Culture” Our culture is not naturally self critical Reporting of events is not the normFear of critical attention Fear of being shut down Fear of losing control Worry about being “second guessed” We punish people for doing the right thingsWe engage in the “drama triangle” stifling problem solving, proactivity, and creativity

Safety Culture
A fundamental key to excellence in safety performance is….
…everyone takes his or her share of responsibility – no more and no less.

“That guy should have known better” “Training/procedure inadequate” “When (fill in) stepped in, we lost control of the situation” “DOE will conduct a Type B investigation”“Management was not held accountable”“They are treating us like a nuclear facility”
Some Examples

–Stay out of the Drama Triangle –Own your part of the problem –Don’t get mad, get curious
Behavior change for all of us
When something goes wrong (or when you discover a mistake)

Achieving a Reporting Culture
Leaders must state and reinforce their expectations for reporting events and conditions Create an atmosphere that values reporting Promote a positive approach to identifying and classifying “events”
Develop and publish leading indicators for identifying and reporting events

Key Messages
Safety is a shared responsibility and everyone must do his or her part We cannot eliminate all mistakes -our goal is to reduce their frequency and severity In order to learn from our errors we must encourage open reporting
Work to establish trust 1. Don’t punish people for making honest mistakes 2. Do what you say, say what you mean
