Discussion Leads: Andrew McKernan
Description: The Gareth Lock Human Factors video is a documentary about the tragic and avoidable accident involving Brian Bugge, a student of a technical diving course, who died when he entered the water without his diving equipment configured correctly on 20 May 2018. The story is told through the lenses of human factors and a Just Culture.
In this workshop, we will host a round table discussion on what we each leant from the documentary.
To help the discussion, bring, to the workshop, your answers to the 2 part questions from Peter Mosse below.
Part 1
- Having watched the Gareth Lock Human Factors video, what do you think were the main factors leading to the death of the diver?
From your list, which single factor do you think was the root cause of the death?
Part 2:
- Think about the dives you have done.
- List 3 or 4 things that have made you feel uncomfortable about a dive, before the dive.
- Do you think you made the right decision to go ahead with the dive?
- Which one (if any) did you pull the dive on? Did you feel you made the right decision.
- List 3 or 4 things that have happened during a dive that made you feel uncomfortable.
- Did any of these cause you to “call” the dive?
- Do you think you made the right decision?
- Are there any other dives, in hindsight, that you think you should have “called”?
- What were the factors/pressures that stopped you from calling the dive?
- List 3 or 4 things that you thought about after a dive that concerned you about the dive, and perhaps made you think “that was close” , or, I really should have “called” that dive?
