Episode 11: When Experience Becomes the Risk

In this episode of The Safety Edge Podcast, we explore how experience—often considered one of the greatest safeguards in high-risk operations—can sometimes become a hidden source of risk. Through a realistic operational scenario, we examine how familiarity, confidence, and the pressure to “get the job done” can quietly influence decision-making. Discover how experience can shape risk perception, why subtle signals are sometimes dismissed, and how safety leaders can build systems where discipline, not heroics, protects people and performance.
