Neil Schnaak from DEKRA asks, “How can airlines, their transportation partners or any organization move the needle to become world-class organizations for employee safety?”
“Although most safety programs include a process for investigating incidents, investigations frequently fall short of yielding actionable insights or helping reduce risks,” says Kevin Jeffries from DEKRA.
“Assessments help organizations check how safe – or rather, lucky – they are and make data-driven changes instead of guessing or reacting to injury,” say experts from DEKRA.
“A state of mind preoccupied with potential failure is beneficial when it drives specific, planned and timely action to reduce risk and prioritize safety,” say Michael Sickler and Richard Smith from DEKRA.
“Until we accept that humans will make mistakes, understand the ways and reasons they make them, and have strategies to combat them, we’ll always be leaving exposure on the table,” says Dave Janney from DEKRA.
