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":"SH276: If there are no silver bullets, build capacity to fail safely","slug":"sh276-if-there-are-no-silver-bullets-build-capacity-to-fail-safely","published_at":"2026-05-06T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/counter-errorism-in-diving-applying-human-factors-to-diving-6626048/sh276-if-there-are-no-silver-bullets-build-capacity-to-fail-safely","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/counter-errorism-in-diving-applying-human-factors-to-diving-6626048","url":"https://www.thehumandiver.com/","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/57bdba78-0cd4-4c27-9698-8292eaf357dc.mp3","summary":"This episode explores what real safety improvement in diving could look like if we stop copying other industries and start designing for the reality of diving itself. It explains that diving is commercial, lightly regulated, and full of everyday trade-offs between safety, money, time, and training, which means risk can’t be removed — only managed. Instead of relying only on rules and checklists, the focus should be on building “margin” into the system: better training time, safer conditions, lower ratios, rested instructors, better decision-making, and a culture where stopping a dive is normal, not failure. The key message is that safety doesn’t come from paperwork alone, but from building real capacity — skills, time, support, learning systems, and honest culture — so people can make good decisions under pressure and prevent small compromises from slowly turning into serious danger.
