In todays episode, Sam Goodman talks about left over bolts and how we depend on human adaptation to create success.   

Description:

It begins with a story you think you've heard before. A frantic, high-stakes repair on a massive critical machine, a seasoned mechanic, and a few, heavy "extra" bolts left on the floor.

In todays episode, Sam Goodman talks about that "beater screwdriver" we all have and use for pretty much... everything.  

Description:

An employee uses a screwdriver as a pry bar and gets hurt. The investigation is swift, the conclusion obvious: human error. Training is updated, a memo goes out, and the case is closed.
Sound familiar? It's the most common story in workplace safety, and it's absolute garbage.
