Introduction to the 4Ds ®

The 4Ds help us learn from everyday work by revealing what gets in the way of safe and reliable performance, without blame, shame or judgement of the people “kaimahi/the workers” who face the risk of work every day.

The 4Ds support operational learning by surfacing the conditions and context that shape how people adapt and cope to get work done.
