This episode examines the human side of workplace disasters and safety, inspired by Professor Sidney Dekker’s book, "The End of Heaven". It explores how societies have historically sought meaning in suffering, contrasting technical investigations with the need for consolation. The discussion covers the rituals and cultural explanations often used in safety-critical industries, and challenges common approaches to understanding failure and supporting those affected. Listeners are invited to reflect on how meaning, history, and humanity shape responses to workplace incidents and safety practices.
