00:47:16Michael Wolf:its the capacity to fail safe that we are all trying to put in place and build each day
00:51:20Tanya Hewitt:We tend to be so outcome focussed – even once we are schooled in some of these concepts.

01:11:30Tanya Hewitt:Safety people are not lawyers – and workplaces are not courtrooms (lovely Dekker steal)
01:11:46Tamara Parris:Great quote Tanya
01:12:12lbusane:Agreed Tanya.
01:16:47Tanya Hewitt:Ivan Pupidly had said (years ago) procedures are great for novices. We recognize exports as experts because they do not need these procedures. Until something bad happens – and the experts are treated as the most novice worker "Did the standard say that??" We need more than just safety to realize these concepts – legal needs to be brought in to the discussion.
01:20:14Gary Wong:Ivan’s slide
01:20:35lbusane:Well said Tanya, thank you for your enlightenment.
01:21:08Tanya Hewitt:Thanks!
