Why We Miss Inspection Risks and Mistake Zero Harm for Naive

John Dunne is the Group Head of Health and Safety at Red Sea Global, who has spent the first decade of his career in the UK Royal Navy, and then 25+ years leading HSE at Balfour Beatty, Wates Group, and as a consultant for Toyota, Coca-Cola, and Siemens.

In this episode of the Field Intelligence podcast, John tackles the industry’s most contested idea — Zero Harm — and explains why he doesn’t think it’s naive.

In the conversation:

• Why bad news in the boardroom is a good thing.
• Rushing technology implementation destroys what it was meant to deliver.
• Why 99% of inspections are a waste of time.
• The vision for predictive safety that replaces 30 years of hard-won experience.
