Listen "The Watermelon Effect"
Episode Synopsis
The "watermelon effect" is a term used in safety management to describe a situation where the external appearance of an organization's safety performance looks green (or safe) while the internal reality is red (or unsafe). Just like a watermelon appears green on the outside but is red on the inside, some organizations may present a positive safety image externally but have significant underlying safety issues internally.
