Over the years, a lot of attention has focused on the causes of occupational incidents. Although safety on the surface seems easy, and a simple matter of applying common sense, creating a safe working environment or safety culture in which no one ever get injured is, as it has been described...
“like a state of grace, something that is striven for but rarely attained.”

The Illusion of Safety...
Organizations that use predictions for the future that are viewed through the tinting of the rosiness of the past when it comes to workplace safety are operating under the ‘illusion of safety.”
An illusion of safety can best be described by following beliefs:
- Organizations with a good safety record will continue to be safe
- Instructions and procedures for safe operations are in place, well read, understood, remembered and systematically used.
- Responsibility for safety can be devolved to the line managers
- Trained, experienced employees are immune to errors
- It is sufficient that from time to time leaders talk about safety and its importance.
