Simon Cassin - Hey Safety, how ethical are we, really? �‪�‬ Speak!

    • Carrières

Just because I ought to…does that mean I can?

Just because I can…does that mean I ought to?

How does ‘can’ and ‘ought’ relate to human factors, and to safety?

Are we as ethical as we think we are? What’s your argument for that?

Simon Cassin joins us to pose some questions that maybe only a philosophical approach can answer.

Part way through this episode, the conversation very briefly touches on the horrors being brought on G*za by Isr*el. Crystal speaks about a conversation we had a few months back about this that relates to the ‘ought implies can’ argument.  

That conversation landed on a quote I’d heard by Ursula Wolfe-Rocca who said:
"It can be overwhelming to witness/experience/take in all of the injustices of the moment; the good news is *they are all connected*. So, if your little corner of the work involves pulling at one of the threads, you're helping to unravel the whole damn cloth”.


Safety is a human right.

We have the immense privilege of helping to ensure people have safe and healthy workplaces. Our influence can reach far and wide, across supply chains, across industries, across the world.

This is our little corner of the work.

Please keep pulling at your thread.
