Episode Details

In this episode of The Safety Edge Podcast, we explore how familiarity—often mistaken for confidence—can quietly erode risk awareness in high-risk operations. Through a realistic operational scenario, we examine how experienced teams can stop seeing hazards that have become “normal,” and why small deviations often go unchallenged. Discover why traditional rules and audits aren’t enough, how curiosity and simple questions can restore awareness, and how safety leaders can create environments where risk is visible, understood, and actively managed.
