examples final Flashcards
safety culture example
In a safety-conscious workplace, employees prioritize reporting hazards promptly, and there’s a shared commitment to addressing safety concerns, fostering a culture where everyone plays a role in maintaining a safe environment.
Team example
a soccer team has the goal of winning the game
Group examples
this class is a group of people registered in this course; each of you is working toward your own goal of getting the best grade
Groupthink example
In the Challenger space shuttle disaster, groupthink played a role as engineers hesitated to voice concerns about the O-rings due to the prevailing desire for consensus. This led to a flawed decision, overlooking critical safety considerations and tragically resulting in the shuttle’s destruction.
normalization of deviance example
In the use of chainsaws, the normalization of deviance might occur when operators gradually become lax in following safety procedures, like bypassing protective gear or neglecting maintenance checks, leading to increased risk and potential accidents over time.
Total System Design example
Crew Resource Management (CRM) exemplifies total system design by comprehensively addressing human factors, communication protocols, and decision-making processes to optimize team performance and safety, particularly in high-risk environments like aviation.
Hazard example
exposed electrical wire in a workplace, posing the risk of electric shock to individuals who come into contact with it.
risk example
slipping and falling on a wet floor in a workplace. The wet floor (hazard) increases the likelihood of someone falling and getting injured (risk).
Risk analysis example
calculated through risk = p (error) × consequences (error) and this can calculate risks like loss of life
The Premortem Strategy example
used when organization has made an important decision, but has not yet committed to implementing it and its used as a form or prelaunch risk analysis
mental contrasting example
WOOP: Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan
cognitive reframing example
“Mauritius is a small, insignificant island in the Indian Ocean.” vs. “Mauritius is the largest ocean state in the world.”
prospective hindsight example
Premortem Strategy
Peltzman effect example
When seat belts were introduced for safety in cars, the expectation was a reduction in injuries and fatalities. However, the Peltzman effect suggests that people might drive more aggressively, offsetting the intended safety benefits, and the overall risk may not decrease as much as expected.
risk homeostasis theory example
as evidence for this theories existence: laws banning cell phone use while driving have not reduced crashes
