WHY WOULD YOU OVERWRITE 50-YEAR-OLD RESEARCH FINDINGS? The Safety Doc Podcast #3 challenges “The Atlantic’s” revisionist interpretation of the famous Milgram Electric-Shock Studies of the 1960s that showed that people will obey even the most abhorrent of orders. A full 65% of study participants continued to administer shocks (to others) all the way up to the maximum level! Milgram’s research was crucial to help better understand the abundant application of the “I was just following orders” defense at the Nuremberg trials held by the Allied forces after World War II.

How well do you ACTUALLY remember things? Research reveals that most of us forget HALF of what we’ve encoded within only one hour! This is startling in many regards and it calls into question the reliability of eye witness accounts. For safety, it also means that we must pay close attention to immediate documentation of threats or incidents. Safety apps, such as those provided by ISS 24/7, now include options to take photos of scenes and to record interviews along with time-stamping. Why is time-stamping important, well, it’s that “Forgetting Curve”.
