"How can people own a safety program if we don't let them own it and create it?" In this episode, we have an engaging conversation with Ron Gantt about the secret sauce of involving employees in safety discussions at an organizational level. Safety leaders must be intentional about seeking employee input but also identifying processes that encourage or inadvertently discourage necessary safety collaboration across the organization. Tune in to learn how to involve employees on a daily basis not just a project basis. Everyone's voice matters when it comes to safety. About the Guest: Ron Gantt has over 20 years of experience in health and safety management, human factors, and system safety working with industries such as high technology, construction, utilities, and chemical manufacturing. He has undergraduate degrees in psychology and occupational safety as well as a graduate degree in safety engineering.

"Being in search of a beautiful question can lead to a new sense of purpose and direction.  A beautiful question is one that challenges assumptions, considers new possibilities, and serves as a catalyst for action and change.  Crafting and engaging with such beautiful questions is like an art.  Like other art forms, it takes practice, and requires learning from practice.  When practiced well, artful inquiry can lead to transformative learning and innovative change".  Southern, N. (2015) Framing Inquiry, in G. R. Bushe &. R. J Marshak (Eds) Dialogic Organizational Development (p. 271)   Those beautiful words you hear in the introduction are from Nancy Southern, reflecting what it takes to frame effective inquiry, based on the insights from Warren Berger's 2014 book A Beautiful Question.  Inspired by that, this episode is a wonderful combination for me.  A past guest, who is curious, humble, and super interesting, combined with no structure to the podcast episode whatsoever apart from curious questions.  You'll remember Ron Gantt from episode 146.  Ron and I wanted to catch up, and this is what we talked about.  For some of you, knowing the podcast topic and how the guest fits the topic is important for a podcast to be worth listening to.  Sometimes, as Southern and Berger hint at, not knowing and trying to ask better more beautiful questions is a wonderful and productive way to learn.  I hope you enjoy this conversation with Ron Gantt, even if none of us know where it's heading until we get there.  Here's Ron:

I have a good reflection on my chat with Carsten Busch. Summary of last weeks chat. In today's episode, don your cowboy hat, your revolver and whip because we are Raiders of the lost Safety science. We have the Indiana Jones of safety with us, Carsten Busch! Carsten is a HSEQ professional who runs an all-round knowledge transfer and consultancy service, He is the myth buster of safety, but he is the man that has done the most investigation in Herbert Heinrich, most of us have never read a word of his work but yet we criticize it all the time. Because it's wrong right? It's so wrong! We know that managing slips and trips don’t stop fatalities, that triangle stuff is rubbish! Heinrich obviously didn’t know what he was talking about! Obviously, that is tongue in cheek, but some people really do go into Heinrich work are not nice about it either but there are something’s that Carsten talks about that are lessons for us all. Lessons from the past for the future so to speak. I heard Carsten speak on the amazing PDCS calls hosted by the amazing Ron Gantt and it was amazing all of us were hooked on what Carsten was saying and I thought the Rebranding Safety audience needs to hear this, so to finish off our Safety 1 Safety 2 mini-series in an amazing way, let's jump into my conversation with Carsten Busch!

This time, Colin is joined by Ron Gantt, owner and operator of Reflect Consulting Group and the vice-president of SCM Safety, providing safety and health consulting and training to a wide variety of organisations on topics ranging from safety management and leadership, system safety, human performance improvement, and regulatory compliance. Ron discusses the importance of establishing a working environment that makes people flourish, as well as the positive benefits of drift, and how we can better align our business goals to create harmony.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Safety professionals must seek to define their roles in terms of what it truly means to society, and how it benefits society. If this ethos can be better communicated, then it will be more interesting to people. Many different pressures are put upon may different workers in differing ways. This can lead to friction and a more diverse set of goals. It's important for management to step back and not just mediate, but facilitate, aligning goals to ensure we are running more smoothly and as a team. Drift is often seen as a negative thing, but we need to alter our perspective. We need to understand that people change the way things operate because they seek to improve things. We need to make it easier for people to do things the right way, and difficult for people to do things in the wrong way.  BEST MOMENTS ‘We always have a conception of what's happening in our workplace. I help them see a little bit more of what's going on on the ground floor' ‘Improving the world is thing that a lot of companies are into, and if we can align health and safety more firmly, it'll be more interesting' ‘We have to think of this as a living thing. Think of it as a doctor giving a prescription to a patient…' ‘If we better identify what we're tryin to achieve, then it helps you think outside the box'  VALUABLE RESOURCES The Interesting Health & Safety Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/vn/podcast/the-interesting-health-safety-podcast/id1467771449   Ron Gantt LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ron-gantt-7a1b7741/ Ron Gantt at Safety Differently - https://safetydifferently.com/author/rongantt/ SCM Safety - http://www.scm-safety.com/team/ron-gantt-m-eng-csp-arm-cet/ ABOUT THE HOST Colin Nottage ‘Making health and safety as important as everything else we do.'

I talk a lot about learning because it's the key to performance improvement for all of us.  Today, the previous guest Ron Gantt and I compare and contrast how each of us has been putting social and experiential learning into practice for hoards of people like you amidst the Coronavirus disruption.  Through this, we created something called the Dialogue Manifesto, which I talk a little about in the conversation today, but you can read it for yourself over at safetyontap.com/manifesto.  I encourage you to consider our invitation to start some dialogue of your own using this as a guide.

This episode was really far more left field as an idea which when I suggested it to my guest today, he jumped at my guest is Ron Gantt, who some of you will know as the editor of the safetydifferently.com blog. This all started with a post, which Ron put on LinkedIn. This is what the Post said. He said, what makes having a meaningful constructive conversation between people who disagree with one another hard on this website.

On today episode of Safety FM, we have a discussion with Ron Gantt. He discusses how he got involved in safety and where he see the profession going.

Overview: In this episode Todd Conklin and I talk a lot about human error, safety at the margins and Operational Excellence. Two of the key takeaways are that human error is not a choice and that organizations that can learn from themselves are on the path towards Operational Excellence. Reminder about Intelex Webinar on July 28th: This is a short reminder about the Intelex Webinar July 28, 2016 from 10:00-10:30 EST where Ron Gantt and I will discuss “How to create sustainable performance and achieve organizational goals through safety.” Here is the link to register: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8877148295350507012 In this webinar, we will identify: 1. The goals of a safety management program and their relationship to organizational performance. 2. Factors and Barriers that enable or disable sustainable performance. 3. The best practices that organizations can implement to facilitate building sustainable expert performance. Show Notes: Many people consider human error a poor choice on the part of front line operators, supervisors or whoever made the error. However, error isn’t necessarily a choice. It is often influenced by numerous system factors that lead to a deviation from expected or desired performance and many of these factors are beyond the control of the person who made the error. A goal of zero incidents or accidents is the moral goal. However, chasing a goal of zero accidents may be problematic for organizations that are complex systems or operate complex systems. As a general rule, most organizations are complex systems. If we incorrectly treat organizations as simple systems we may chase a lagging indicator of zero incidents and not understand the factors that actually develop to lead to incidents or accidents. We must understand that organizations have numerous interconnected parts and the way those parts integrate and connect can change and risk can emerge around those connection points. Therefore, rather than chasing a goal of zero lagging indicators organizations may be better-served by gaining an understanding of risk within their systems. Randy likes to describe Operational Excellence as “sustainable mission accomplishment through the use of quality, safety and reliability methods.” These methods must work within the organization and they may vary from one organization to another. Todd uses a very interesting description of Operational Excellence which encompasses these points. He calls Operational Excellence “the ability of an organization to learn from itself.” This highlights the importance of organizational learning. When talking about safety and work as it is actually done operational teams often work at the edge of the boundaries of operational drift and this area of performance may be referred to as the safety margin. It is within this space of safety and operational performance where crews, teams and workers actively create and manage safety so that safety is a mission-enabler to help the organization achieve its production/operations goals.

Lifelong learning is very important to help us advance organizational performance. Working in safety has helped Ron learn about many different industries and help people by being a positive influence to others in his work. At the highest levels of performance organizations should be learning organizations. Pushing beyond our comfort zones is important for thinking differently about how we manage risks. Once we get into the learning mode there is so much interesting things we can learn about. Once you stop believing you already know something you are surprised at every turn. That helps keep interest in our work. Our biggest flaw is that we think we know already when we don’t and as leaders that’s a huge mistake. If you make too many assumptions about your knowledge and act on faulty knowledge you may end up being less effective and you may let your followers down. It may be a critical error to assume you know when you don’t. It’s important to help people understand how to achieve success in a complex world, using the New View about safety and operations. Safety can be used to help organizations achieve success. There is a tradeoff between exploring and exploitation of operations, and there should be a balance with safety and success. One key in engaging leaders and front line workers involves talking about expertise, comfort levels and what has worked in the past. The question becomes “How can we know if we’re wrong?” This involves swinging the pendulum back to the exploration side from the exploitation side. Systems aren’t resilient if we don’t perceive failure until after it occurs. We need to be aware of risks and potential failure before it occurs. Organizations and leaders need to think beyond compliance to where their critical boundaries are, such as safety boundaries or operational boundaries that could lead to failure (which could be harm to safety or finances) and how those boundaries may be managed to avoid failure and maintain resilience. Operational drift can include benefits, but we need to manage drift and allocate resources to maximize operational performance while maintaining adequate safety and while not crossing that safety boundary. Operational drift should be examined prospectively (forward looking), but that is a challenge. A phase shift may be thought of as when something changes from one state to another. Sometimes a small amount can be added to something and it can go from one state to another in an instant (like moving from water to ice with one degree of temperature change) and operational drift can occur in a similar way. We need to appreciate how subtle changes can actually end up having huge effects. A small example is how we try to stick to strict schedules, but sometimes small impacts on our schedule could have very dramatic effects on the outcome. The same holds true in organizations. We may try to create stability in organizations and teams. We focus so much on controlling the teams and people, but we may lose sight of the effects of the operational environment, which can have tremendous impacts on teams and their performance. Local rationality is the idea is that people do things that make sense to them at the time based on their resources, attention, and goals. This is a very important concept. One of the most important traits a leader needs to have is empathy and the ability to see through the eyes of the other person. If we don’t understand how people are making sense of their choices they won’t follow us as leaders. We need to find out how things are making sense to people and find leverage points. People are always paying attention to something and we can’t simply assume workers are not paying attention when accidents or failures happen. If we assume they weren’t paying attention then we will limit our ability to understand what they were paying attention to at the time and we may miss opportunities to improve work systems. Quantitative and qualitative metrics are very important. We can’t simply rely on quantitative metrics. If we never look at stories or dissenting opinions and don’t pay attention to that we will limit innovation and the ability to detect weak signals. We need to be able to triage weak signals, pull out the important data and make good decisions based on that qualitative information. This can help to improve efficiency, effectiveness and resilience. The lack of curiosity needs to be disrupted. Leaders need to be curious about how work gets done. We need to get out there and ask more questions. Rather than seeing behaviors or operations, and judging them in a black and white way we need to be curious about what we are not seeing. We need to be more curious about the things we are not seeing because if we don’t look deeper we may miss opportunities for improvement. Leaders need to get out into the world and observe how workers are working and understand that workers have to overcome many imperfect situations nearly every day. By gaining this perspective those at the “blunt end” could understand some ways of making positive changes. Situational humility is important and in some situations leaders need to humble themselves in front of their workers so they can learn by asking questions. They need to understand that it is beneficial to admit they don’t know things and being overly concerned about “looking stupid” in front of workers may limit learning.
