Hey, everybody! In this eye-opening episode of the Pre-Accident Podcast Safety Moment, we delve into a profound concept: "The map is not the territory." This idea, originating from Alfred Korzybski, highlights the crucial difference between models of reality and reality itself.We explore how procedures, like maps, serve as important guides but cannot fully encompass the dynamic nature of actual work.

Learn something new, be kind, and most importantly, stay safe!
