Zero incidents cannot be achieved and you will, eventually be disappointed, to say the least, if that is your expectation. However, zero is a useful aspiration or goal, recognizing that continuingly decreasing targets greater than zero is a good way to control and decrease your incident rate.
But bear in mind that this only works in a reasonable manner for large groups.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Seeking subject expert
Dear list members:
At our University-wide safety meeting this morning, while we were reviewing incidents on campus, our VP (Admin) asked what I think is a critical string of questions:
How do some organizations achieve a zero incident level? Examples include the nuclear industry, and our local fire station. Clearly they have a strong safety culture. So, how do we enhance our safety culture to bring us towards that goal? Could we get an expert to advise us?
This is not a chemistry question, but an institutional one. But I immediately thought of the D-chas group, where there are so many experts on safety.
If there is anyone out there who would be interested in exploring this through giving us a seminar, and/or or spending perhaps a day with us, do please contact me off-list. Some knowledge of the Canadian safety landscape would be useful, but we are really looking at the bigger picture. We do not have an approved budget, but some compensation may well be possible. This could take place on-line, or perhaps in-person once the border re-opens.
Best wishes and safe work to all.
Paul
