Stopping Normalization of Deviance

In his safety DVD, “Stopping Normalization of Deviance”, Astronaut Mullane uses the space shuttle Challenger disaster to define this term, its safety consequences, and how individuals and teams can defend themselves from the phenomenon.

After dramatically defining “Normalization of Deviance” in video Part 1 , Astronaut Mullane continues with an explanation of how individuals and teams can defeat this dangerous phenomenon through these practices:  recognizing one’s vulnerability to it; making it a religion to “plan the work and work the plan”; considering one’s instincts; and, archiving and periodically reviewing near-misses and disasters so the corporate memory never fades.  (Mullane explains that the loss of the space shuttle Columbia…17 years after Challenger…was a repeat of Normalization of Deviance.)   His instruction is supported with rarely seen NASA video and slides.  

As are all of Astronaut Mullane’s safety videos, “Stopping Normalization of Deviance” is unique.  It is on-target, fast-paced, visually captivating and, in places, very humorous.
