Cam's Corner
by Luke Dam
Meet Cam – The Man Behind Cam’s Corner If there’s one thing Cam loves more than a strong cup of coffee and a freshly sharpened pencil, it’s asking one simple question: “But what really caused it?” Cam is Safety Wise’s resident ICAM investigation expert and full-time Incident Whisperer. He’s been digging beneath the surface of incidents long before it was fashionable to talk about systems thinking. Safety Wise has been operating since 2002, and Cam has been part of that journey from the early days- back when investigations meant clipboards, highlighters, and very strong opinions about “human error.” Over the years, he’s seen the evolution of incident investigation from blame-focused reports to structured, systemic learning- and he’s been helping lead that shift. With decades of hands-on experience across industries, Cam has: - Investigated serious workplace incidents - Trained thousands of leaders and frontline workers in ICAM - Helped organisations move from finger-pointing to fact

Trust Is the Hidden Control in Safety Investigations
This episode explores why investigations often fail not from lack of evidence, but because trust breaks down and people start withholding, editing, or sanitising the story. It also digs into better witness interviewing, memory limits, and how a non-blame approach improves the quality of data, analysis, and learning.

When Safety Systems Break Down
Cam digs into how incidents happen when the system around the worker is already falling apart — weak planning, sloppy supervision, dodgy procedures, and the classic habit of ignoring warning signs until something goes bang. Using the ICAM lens, this episode breaks down why blaming the individual is the easy answer, and why it usually misses the real causes.
