With this episode of Safety At Work Talks I return to the sequence of interviews with Professor Sidney Dekker. In April 2017, Dekker published a book called The End of Heaven which discusses suffering. This book has a very different tone from his previous books and intrigued me.

The breadth of the discussion was also surprising with concepts and references rarely talked about in relation to occuaptional healh and safety, such as morality, Acts of God, Train disasters and the Bible.

A review of the book from July is available at the SafetyAtWorkBlog - https://safetyatworkblog.com/2017/07/26/get-tickled-by-sidney-dekker/

SafetyAtWorkBlog's first attempt at podcasting was over a decade ago. Many of those archived audio files still hold some interest in showing how workplace safety approaches have changed, or not, over that time. This archive program is from 2006 and contains an exclusive interview with Dr Jukka Takala who had recently been appointed head of the Occupational Safety and Health Agency of the European Union. In 2017 he is working with Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower.

This first Safety At Work Talks episode is the first of a series of exclusive interviews with Professor Sidney Dekker about his work, his research and his writings. Dekker talks about his new Safety Differently documentary and how it came about.

Safety At Work Talks complements the award-winning Safety At Work Blog with exclusive interviews with prominent and interesting safety people. A new episode will be posted every few weeks.
