Historically, responsibility for accidents was placed on the worker, but the modern model, such as James Reason’s “Swiss Cheese” model, shows that human error is often a symptom of latent systemic failures. Neurophysiology also directly influences performance, with structures such as the prefrontal cortex and the limbic system being affected by stress, noise, and sleep deprivation, showing that workers under pressure do not fail due to carelessness, but because of physiological overload.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe course also explores how risk perception varies throughout a worker’s life and experience. Young people and adolescents have a still-developing prefrontal cortex, which leads to impulsiveness and a sense of invulnerability, requiring practical training and real-life examples.

This understanding supports more effective prevention strategies, recognizing that safety depends on adapting the environment to workers’ capabilities and limitations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe development of personality, ego, and self-esteem shapes how individuals deal with frustration and risks. Defense mechanisms such as denial, projection, and rationalization can generate unsafe behaviors, while emotional balance promotes assertive actions, such as refusing unsafe orders and reporting risks.
