As a Safety Advisor, most of the safety problems I see don’t start with negligence. They start with reasonable assumptions — the kind that make sense day to day — until the business is forced to test them under pressure.
This article reflects on how periods without incidents can feel like proof that safety systems are working — even when they’ve never been required to perform under pressure. The Calm Before the Claim shows why serious incidents tend to reveal long-standing assumptions, not sudden failures, and why clarity is far easier to gain before it’s forced by an event.
