Mr Fixer, I’ve worked in the industry for 25 years, both military and then civil, and I agree with you, nobody ever does anything they think is dangerous, however, i have personally done questionable things when the pressure is on and I’ve made some big mistakes ... my record being over £5 million in damage!
I know a lot of people are very reluctant to talk about things, and I would be too. I no longer get my hands dirty and have moved over into the Human Factors world, and I still hear about things that make me cringe, all done with the best will in the world, and yes people do think it’s safe, but the accidents keep proving otherwise.
I am not asking for people to air their dirty washing, what I am trying to research is do people think about violating as they are doing it, are we conscious of what we are doing. I am trying to research this for a project I am doing, for my professional studies.
