EP 710 - Big Projects, Small Details: Why We Miss the Obvious

In this introspective clip from the Rated R Safety Show, Dr. Jay Allen flips the script on how we approach “big” projects. With his trademark honesty and humor, Jay breaks down why it’s often not the massive plans that cause failure—but the overlooked, rushed, everyday details.

He explores the irony of over-planning large-scale initiatives while ignoring the simple, repeatable tasks where errors tend to hide. This one’s for the overthinkers, the safety leaders juggling priorities, and anyone who’s ever been blindsided by something that “should’ve been easy.”

Because in the world of safety (and life), the real risk isn’t the complex—it’s the unnoticed.
