“But I’ve done it this way loads of times…..”

Error is a given in any human activity but can be a ‘life or death’ issue in safety critical industries such as aviation or construction. Aviation has developed a safety management framework over fifty years which has had spectacular results. They are two very different industries so the framework can’t simply be transplanted but I believe a similar system can be genetically engineered in with the help of construction industry staff and management. We can achieve safety and financial benefits for front line staff, clients and managers, a rare win/win/win situation.
