2.3 Case Study 1- Closing Message

Liza (looks John in the eye, serious tone):
“John, this is exactly what low risk perception looks like—not just at work, but
in life.
Chris asked his wife to wear a seatbelt—and not to his kids as he made a
choice of leaving some of the risk because, he was confident of his driving skill
and he will drive the car at safer speed and nothing will go wrong.
That’s low risk perception. Because of making choices of selecting or not
selecting some of the safety tools.
And that’s the exact kind of thinking that leads to incidents on the shop floor
too.
At work, we often see people skipping steps—no gloves because it’s just a
“quick job”, no lockout because “they’ve done it a hundred times”, or checking
a box on a permit just to “get started”.
Because everyone things nothing will go wrong as they have done the same
job many times and see low risk while performing it.
But risk doesn’t wait to be visible. It waits to be ignored.
And once it’s missed, the consequences can’t be reversed.
So whether you’re driving home with your family or opening a panel here on
the floor—perceive risk for what it really is.
Not just a rule to follow. But a reason to protect what matters most.”

“The level of safety depends upon the accuracy of the risk perceived”.
