Normalized Deviation If you get away with a flawed safety decision one day or repeatedly, far from facing penalty you may actually end up rewarded, perhaps for boosting production. You may come to believe that what was thought to be unsafe is actually safe, based on your experience.

Align with Human Nature
“Do all the good you
can,
In all the ways you
can,
To all the souls you
can,
In every place you
can,
At all the times you
can,
With all the zeal you
can,
As long as ever you
can”
-John Wesley
