Welcome to 'Human Error: The Blame Machine' — a podcast that dives deep into the world of mistakes, accountability, and how blame shapes our workplaces, societies, and systems. We uncover why it's easier to point fingers than to fix root causes — and how understanding human error can lead to safer, smarter, and more resilient cultures. This podcast is based on the book 'The Blame Machine' Why Human Errors Cause Accidents by R B Whittingham.

In this episode, we go beyond the checklists to uncover what really drives Health, Safety, and Environmental performance. Why do some organizations thrive under pressure while others fall short? What makes people truly care about safety—not just follow rules?

If you're serious about transforming your HSE culture—or just curious about what it takes to do so - don’t hit pause. This conversation might just change the way you lead, think, and act.

Imagine a workplace where safety isn't just a checklist—it's built into every process, every movement, and every mindset.

We'll unpack real-world examples—like how a chemical plant reduced slip hazards by applying 5S, or how a maintenance team cut down near-misses by using visual management and standardized work. If you're ready to stop treating safety as a standalone department and start embedding it into every part of your operation—this episode is for you. Let’s get lean, and let’s get safe
