I recently made a social media post about the impact that punishment can have on learning which was an extract from a research paper looking at what happens if you change the approach when it comes to 'investigations'. "Contrary to the suggestion in accident reporting literature that punishment...
In 1985, Coca Cola unveiled “New Coke” which was a reformulation of the original Coke flavour. Blind tests found that many consumers preferred New Coke to Coke Classic. However, when consumers were choosing which Coke to buy, they chose Coke Classic. New Coke was ultimately discontinued in 1992. ...
The lives we live are full of risks and uncertainties. 'What is a risk?' and 'What is safety/safe?' are particular to us because of the lens we view the world through. Some might think that cave diving is dangerous, and yet the training (when conducted well and to standards) to undertake cave di...

The cause? “Pilot error”. This aeroplane was far more complicated than anythi...
Last fall I presented at the first-ever Human Factors in Diving Conference arranged by Gareth Lock and the topic of my presentation was how to integrate Human Factors training into technical diving courses. While I was primarily talking about how to bring this education into existing technical an...
This statement is the basic premise behind effective situation awareness. We perceive data, we make sense of it in the here and the now, and then we make an educated guess as to what the future might look like. It is an educated guess because we can never be 100% certain what the future will look...
