Really choices are little shortcuts that workers make while they perform work in real-time, while working with real risks and hazards.  This we know to be true.

You rely on worker's making choices everyday.   Think about that. Still looking for a sponsor.   Thanks for listening to the podcast.  It is pretty fun hanging out with you.
