# Psychological Safety: Checklists

*Tom Geraghty · Interpersonal Practice, Measurement*

Examines the role of checklists in reducing error and building consistency, drawing on Atul Gawande's work. Explores where checklists support psychological safety — reducing cognitive load, making expectations explicit — and where they undermine it by replacing genuine engagement with compliance. Connects aviation CRM, surgery, and organisational practice.
