PATIENT safety Task: Attention - Concentration Rest - Sleep psychological environment - safety to ERR is human HUMAN as weakest link risk to SELF Cognitive support - lists, names, informational analysis of environment Critical thinking Situational awareness Therapeutic - OBSERVATIONS ethics- video surveillance

PATIENT - PROCESS safety  - e.g. diagnosis, handover physical safety: 1st law 1st aid. SELF-harm : SELF-neglect Assessments, Plan, Evaluation environment:safety, construction, buildings occupational/disciplinary safety Comms - Information theory  safety as security: lone working signals - alarms, protocols medical safety: medicines, devices risk reduction - management Human factors Human- Computer/Tech/AI Interaction Research - Records Interfaces Public Health Safety: Food, Pollution

risk to others stereotypes - assumptions risk from others - bullying social media teamwork: simulation PRACTICE safety

Law - Health & Safety Reporting - Statistics Transparency Mandatory Training / Learning Whistleblowing safety standards ISO safety organisations The Learning Organisation Other sectors e.g. Aviation, Formula 1 ... Risk of 'groupthink'

 Is it a risk to assume parity of estem in patient safety? What of 'a' patient's safety?

Are the lines open? Is the train running? "Wigan Coal and Iron"

"Nos. 7 and 8 pits were a short distance away from the main colliery and were known as Brookside or New Zealand Pits. No coal was raised at these pits when Wigan Coal Corporation took over, but they were used for pumping and ventilation. Shortly afterwards (in 1931) they were filled up.

Wigan Coal and Iron

 

A very tragic and bizarre accident happened here on 13th April 1945 when Ludovic Berry, a locomotive driver employed by the Coal Corporation, was moving 13 loaded wagons in sidings over the filled up No. 7 shaft which was 12ft. diameter and 400 yd. deep. Suddenly the ground collapsed under the leading wagon which fell into a large cavity followed by the rest of the train and the locomotive at an accelerating pace. The locomotive with all wheels locked by the brakes and the driver still at the controls was dragged into the shaft by the wagons and came to rest wedged in a vertical position with the smokebox uppermost 127 ft. down the shaft. The total length of the train was 283 ft. and there were indications on the rails that the brakes had been applied when the train was 226 ft. from the crater. This crater was 52 ft. long and 34 ft. wide. The body of the driver was never recovered, owing to the dangerous condition of the ground surrounding the cavity." p.181.

Population

If property, especially housing and places of work are 'located' in an earthquake - seismic hazard zone then there must be laws and regulations that define and assure a level of resilience in the construction and / or time to evacuate. If people are living in high-rise accommodation then there must be governance, law, standards and tests to check the safety, strength, flame resistance of materials used in construction and fabrication.

Environment, Social, Governance [ESG]

As Greeta Thunberg arrives in New York for the:

CLIMATE ACTION SUMMIT, 23 SEPTEMBER 2019

... it is interesting to consider not just where 'health' sits within business and commerce, but the themes and issues that it has reached. Now, we are more aware of the dependencies, for example air quality, physical and mental health, but we are still to finish the chapter titled: "The Damage Done".

'Capitalism' remains rapacious in terms of resource use (ironically if the market and prices are cyclical) and we must acknowledge all of economics, from stock exchanges, to cities, to villages in developing countries, but the challenge remains to transform the geometry of our economics to that of a sustainable circle. As per the climate debate, in some instances, we might close certain industries and leave some classes of minerals, elements, fossil fuels in the ground. We should accept that while some economies are more circular than others, sometimes you cannot circle a square?

Below is an investment hierarchy in which I have highlighted health. Education, literacy and environmental awareness are, if not issues (which they are, especially their respective economics) they are much needed individual actions to achieve progress.

The media notes that next month's summit will include 'world leaders'. I wonder how many business leaders will be present? This would be an indicator of corporate social responsibility, looking very positive in the annual report (even if the self-regulation has not yet achieved homeostatis). If you can advise with figures, or if I find the information later next month I will post here.

MSCI ESG Key Issue Hierarchy

3 Pillars	10 Themes	37 ESG Key Issues

	Natural resources	Water stress  Biodiversity & land use  Raw material sourcing
	Pollution & waste	Toxic emissions & waste   Electronic waste Packaging  Material & Waste
	Environmental opportunities	Clean tech  Green building   Renewable energy
Social	Human capital	Labor management   Health & safety Human capital development Supply chain labor standards
	Product liability	Product safety & quality  Chemical safety Financial product safety  Privacy & data security  Responsible investment  Health & demographic risk

Governance	Corporate governance*	Board* Pay* Ownership* Accounting*
	Corporate behavior	Business ethics Anti-competitive practices Tax transparency Corruption & instability Financial system instability

* Corporate Governance Theme carries weight in the ESG Rating model for all companies. In 2018, we introduce subscores for each of the four underlying issues: Board, Pay, Ownership, and Accounting. https://www.msci.com/documents/10199/123a2b2b-1395-4aa2-a121-ea14de6d708a

	"... They tell us that temperatures are still unbearable, that it’s consistently scorching hot. And it’s getting worse as the weather heats up. Workers are fainting every day. To cope, they use a traditional technique called “coining”, where they scratch their skin with coins to bring blood to the surface of the skin. It’s meant to relieve the stress and fatigue caused by the heat. ..."
	A Kin Tai factory worker getting “coined” by a coworker on Monday.

When people are exploited and in the absence of health services and evidence-based health care information, they may resort to traditional remedies to try to solve acute health problems. When the control of the work environment is also beyond the worker's control then acute problems and risks to health are bound to follow.
