Learning from Normal Work

How to Reduce Risk When Nothing Goes Wrong

De: Dr. Marcin Nazaruk

Narrado por: Luke Pelletier, Erica Halverson

No incidents. No injuries. Everything looks fine until it isn’t.

We often ask, “What caused the accident?”

But what if we asked: “What was happening before it went wrong?”

This book is built around a simple idea: the seeds of failure are often planted in success.

It follows John, a senior Safety Director navigating the complex, and all-too-real journey of implementing Learning from Normal Work in a large organization.

This isn’t a textbook. It’s a novel-style guide, rooted in real-world tools, authentic situations, and practical strategies drawn from the author’s decades of experience implementing Learning From Normal Work across global organizations.

And yes, it’s a novel. Because we remember stories better than theories.

The dialogues are pulled straight from the field, from boardroom debates to frontline frustrations. They capture the political dynamics, cultural resistance, and mindset shifts required to make meaningful change.

Whether you're a leader, practitioner, or advisor, you’ll find a practical roadmap woven into the narrative, one that highlights not only the ‘what’ and the ‘how’, but also the often-overlooked human elements that determine success or failure.

Inside you'll discover:

• What to realistically expect when rolling out Learning from Normal Work
• How to manage resistance and influence leadership
• Why traditional safety tools fall short and what needs to change
• The mindsets, toolsets, and skillsets essential for transformation

If you want to start learning when nothing goes wrong, this book is your essential guide.
