Episode 75 - Deep Dive into Organizational Learning and Safety Culture with Gareth Lock

"The beauty of human factors is that it's applicable in every space. It's just the stories that change." In this episode, we're excited to have Gareth Lock take us on a deep dive into organizational learning, decision-making, and safety culture through the lens of human factors. Tune in as Gareth shares practical advice for creating a shared mental model within an organization through prioritizing psychological safety and how to effectively foster a culture of embedded learning and growth.

He has published the book ‘Under Pressure’ and produced the documentary ‘If only…,’ both focused on improving diving safety and performance by looking at incidents through the lens of human factors.
