The Safety of Work

Ep.75 How are stop work decisions made?


Listen Later

Together, Jop and I discuss a topic on which Drew and I previously touched: We revisit how stop-work decisions are made and why this is such an interesting topic of research.

 

Topics:

  • Jop’s research methods.
  • How to interpret and explain procedures.
  • Why rules don’t always lead to a work stoppage.
  • Why stop-work happens.
  • The perception vs. reality of stop-work.
  • Myths and expectations of safety culture.
  • The main takeaway.

 

Quotes:

“I think I’ve probably been guilty myself of not fully defining what I’m talking about.”

“Only one case I found where a rule actually led to stopping work.”

“First of all, compared to current interventions we see around stop-work...they all paint this picture of real significant decisions...and well, I found that plenty of stop-work decisions are basically considered insignificant.”
