This podcast is a mixture of interviews and 'shorts' which are audio versions of the weekly blog from The Human Diver. Each month we will look to have at least one interview and one case study discussion where we look at an event in detail and how human factors and non-technical skills contributed (or prevented) it from happening in the manner it did.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/counter-errorism-in-diving-applying-human-factors-to-diving-6626048"},"episode":{"title":"SH275: The death of a child in diver training.

Using court documents and a safety science approach, the analysis shows how many “normal” things came together — rushed training, poor visibility, tired staff, missing safety equipment, weak rules, money pressure, and lack of oversight — to create a situation where there was no real safety margin left. The key message is that this was not a random accident or a single bad decision, but the result of a system that allowed risky practices to become normal. The goal is not blame, but learning: understanding how everyday routines, shortcuts, and pressures can slowly increase danger, and how changing the system — not just individuals — is the only real way to prevent this from happening again.
