DESCRIPTION:
In this eye-opening video, Steve takes a bold stance against the mindset of "we’ve always done it that way," showcasing a T-shirt that perfectly captures the danger of this thinking. Just because something has been done a certain way for years doesn’t mean it’s the safest or smartest approach. Over time, repetitive actions can create muscle memory, but when that memory becomes automatic, we risk slipping into complacency. Steve warns that this "dismissal memory" can lead to comfortable risks and desensitization to hazards—something we all need to avoid. He challenges us to break free from outdated habits and embrace new, safer methods. Yes, it’s tough to create new habits, but it’s a small price to pay for avoiding bigger, more dangerous risks. Be open to change, because the effort to relearn and adopt safer practices is what keeps everyone on the job safe and secure.

HOW TO INTRODUCE AND DEBRIEF THIS:
It’s almost always best to set up and debrief a video. This means before you show the video; give them something to look for, write down, remember, or list out from the video. Basically, you’re giving your crew something to look for to their raise curiosity such as, “About halfway through this video, listen carefully for what Steve says about what happened as a result of not paying attention to where you’re pushing the mobile stairs.” This is what I mean by set up the video. Now they are paying more attention! And you are guaranteeing participating when you debrief (or discuss) the video after showing it because your people already know they are looking for something or they were supposed to write something down (or remember one thing from the video). Be yourself. Have fun with it. Vary your methods each time. See what works best with your audience.
