Safety Investments Never Stop
The fact that we all have a brain that is programmed with a lot of risk
tolerance, especially for circumstances in the 21

century, teaches us
that we need a structured and continuous process to keep safety behav-
ior on a high level. Without giving continuous energy to the safety pro-
cess, it will lose its effectiveness. An organization will never reach a
point where it can say,
“
Finally, we
'
ve invested enough to reach com-
plete safety.

disappointed by the fact that safety behavior has a tendency to decline,
regardless of the investments made in it.
