Talk Description
According to Steven Shorrock, ‘Human Factors’ (or Ergonomics) is often presented as something that it’s not, or as something that is only a small part of the whole. Accordingly, this talk will not be about the following:
-        The science and taxonomy of error
-        Swiss cheese
-        Safety I and II
-        Snowdon’s Cynefin framework
-        Safety culture; Just culture

Warning: this talk may contain the Mandela effect and loose references to film and TV from a previous century. Viewer discretion is advised.
