THE HUMAN ERROR
STRESS (APRIL 2017) Stress is the subconscious response to the demands placed upon it. Replace the word subconscious with the Child and we see that the Child plays a major role in our stress. If you recall our Stress Model, it had two danger
zones. The fi rst one is low stress with low productivity and is the realm of Complacency. Here the Child is doing most of the work and will do and see what it is in the habit of doing and seeing. The number two danger zone is the area where the
stress has become so great that the Adult becomes overwhelmed and productivity drops off dramatically as the Child makes emotional decisions. PTSD is the Child who never forgets and relives a highly emotional negative experience over and over. The Adult may rationalize that the event is over and can not be changed, but the Child refuses to “let it go.” This is stress at its worst. The Child will determine the level of stress you will experience
LACK OF AWARENESS
(MAY 2017) Lack of Awareness is a lack of alertness and vigilance in observing. The Child plays some role in this as it tends to not notice anything out of the ordinary. It depends on habit as part of its decision making. Thus, it is the Adult that has to rationalize when something is not quite right even as the Child provides the feeling.
NORMS (JULY 2015) Norms is short for normal or the way we actually do things around here. Norms can be seen as a group habit that the majority of a group or even organization have. They are often negative but can be positive or neutral. As we have established, the Child makes decisions based on habit, emotions and ELDs (Early Life Decisions). One other characteristic our (below the conscious level) Child has is it does not like change. This is exactly like young children who want you to read the same story book every night. Thus, the Child likes norms, good or otherwise and dislikes change, good or bad. I wish I could have used this model to explain to a family why the father/husband pilot tried the impossible and died. If you go back to the August 2017 issue of D.O.M. magazine, accident #2, you can read the fi ne details, but in simple terms a
