On this week’s Salience Podcast, we explore safety through the intersection of human factors and systems.

Our guest is Gareth Lock, founder of The Human Diver and bestselling author of the book Under Pressure: diving deeper with human factors. Before becoming a safety educator with a focus on diving, Gareth had a 25-year career in the RAF.

As he started diving more and more, Gareth recognized he could apply what he learned in the RAF to diving. In particular, he realised that safety and performance in diving operations is all about teamwork and learning from the successes and failures that occur as part of normal diving activities.

In this episode, we talk about discipline, dissent and diving deeper into teamwork.
