Safety and the heisenberg uncertainty principle
|
In today's fast-paced business world, all facets of corporate performance are intensely scrutinized. In American corporate culture, the "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it" philosophy is embedded in operating and control practices. As a result, contemporary safety management efforts often focus on measuring safety performance using broad databases of accident and injury statistics. Under such circumstances, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is relevant.
At first, one may ...
