But Still Accidents Happen…

What are some reasons why

all of us, at times, do unsafe
things?
 I’m in a hurry.
 I’ve done this before without
getting hurt.
 No one is looking.
 I’m experienced – nothing will
happen to me.
 Or, we’re distracted or upset.

Beliefs
What are beliefs? A belief is an assumed truth

A bed rock of our assumption

Thus, everything is a belief -- including this statement.

We create beliefs to anchor our understanding of the
world around us and thus, once we have formed a
belief, we will tend to persevere with that belief.

22

Blind beliefs. Assuming a belief is always true
Beliefs about people: Very much affect how we interact with
them
Care-Behavior Matrix: How different beliefs lead to different
interpersonal behaviors.
