In this segment, the speaker highlights a common safety management problem: senior leaders and senior management spend extensive time investigating an accident after it occurs, while the workers who performed the original risk assessments for the task receive far less attention and time. This creates a massive disconnect between post‑incident analysis and the preventative work that should have been done beforehand, suggesting a misallocation of resources and a cultural gap in safety priorities.

When an accident's happened, right, okay, and something's gone wrong, if you look at the people that are sitting around the table that are discussing that particular incident or that event and the time that they're putting into that, okay, you know, the senior management team, you know, often the managing director if something really bad shit's happened, you know, there's, um, uh, you know, all the time that they put into that, and you compare that to the amount of time and and who was involved in put in, in actually doing the risk assessment for the task that the individual was doing when they got hurt. Massive, massive disconnect.
