My name’s Simon Di Nucci. I’m a practicing system safety engineer, and I have been, for the last 25 years; I’ve worked in all kinds of domains, aircraft, ships, submarines, sensors, and command and control systems, and some work on rail air traffic management systems, and lots of software safety. So, I’ve done a lot of different things!

Hi, everyone, and welcome to The Safety Artisan. I’m Simon, and I just wanted to share with you briefly why I started this enterprise. I’ve had a career in safety, engineering, and safety consulting for over 25 years now. And in that time, I’ve seen customers make one of two mistakes quite often. First of all, I’ve seen customers not do some things that they should have been doing. This was usually because they were just ignorant of what their legal obligations were.

And I guess that’s a fairly obvious mistake. That’s what you would expect me to say. But more often, I’ve seen customers do too much to try and achieve safety, which is surprising! I’ve seen people waste a lot of time, energy, and money doing things that just didn’t make a difference. Sometimes it actually got in the way of doing good safety work.

And I think the reasons for those mistakes are, first of all, ignorance.

Secondly, not knowing precisely what safety is and therefore not being able to work out how to get there. That’s why I started The Safety Artisan. I wanted to equip people with the knowledge of what safety really is and the tools to get there efficiently. To neither do too much nor too little. We want Safety, Just Right.
