Welcome to the Pre-Accident Investigation Safety Moment with Todd Conklin. In this engaging episode, we delve into the concept of "graceful extensibility," a crucial feature for enhancing the safety and reliability of operations. Inspired by insights from David Woods of Ohio State University, Todd explores how building margins into systems can mitigate the consequences of potential failures.
Through thought-provoking examples, like the space program's ability to take one more orbit, this episode illustrates the importance of creating room for error without severe repercussions. Discover how you can apply graceful extensibility to your safety programs and everyday life, ensuring resilience in the face of variability and risk.
Tune in for an enlightening discussion on how to hedge your bets and build robust processes that accommodate unforeseen challenges, all while learning something new and prioritizing safety.
