Jessie considers this to be a fundamental oversight that is restricting learning and preventing harm prevention.\nWorkers have the least power over workplace conditions - so the profession needs to explore the other end of the line. Jessie presents a compelling case for why safety managers must keep asking questions to uncover the real control over systems that enabled the outcome.\n\nJessie’s ideas give EHS professionals a new perspective on keeping workers safe, revealing where power - and therefore harm prevention - really resides in workplace safety.\n\nJessie’s book: There Are No Accidents a book by Jessie Singer\nRecommended by Jessie:\nWork-Accidents and the Law.: Amazon.com: Eastman, Crystal\n\nBooks - Sidney Dekker\n\nFind out more about Jessie’s work: Jessie Singer\n\nJessie Singer on LinkedIn:Jessie Singer | LinkedIn\n\nSafety Labs is created by Safety Products Global, the world's leading manufacturer of safety knives.
