Ian Farley Chelmsford Advocates for Slower, Safer, and More Thoughtful Work Practices

QC, Canada, 6th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Ian Farley Chelmsford is using his recent in-depth interview to raise awareness around a growing issue in modern working life: the cost of rushing decisions in complex and safety-critical environments. Drawing on a career shaped by fieldwork, environmental management, and operational leadership, Farley is encouraging professionals to slow down, prepare properly, and reconnect with how systems work in the real world.

"Most problems are caused by rushing," Farley said in the interview. "Slowing down often saves time. It also prevents mistakes that are harder to fix later."

According to data from the International Labour Organization, nearly 80 percent of workplace accidents are linked to human factors such as fatigue, time pressure, and poor planning. Farley believes many of these risks can be reduced through better habits at an individual level. "Safety is not just procedures," he explained. "It comes from preparation and understanding what you are actually working with."

Farley also spoke about the importance of field experience in decision-making. Studies from the Project Management Institute show that poor requirements and lack of stakeholder input contribute to over 30 percent of project failures. "When you spend time on the ground, you see things spreadsheets miss," Farley noted. "That perspective changes how you lead."

Environmental responsibility is another theme Farley highlighted. Research from the World Economic Forum shows that infrastructure decisions made today can influence environmental outcomes for decades. "Every small decision adds up," he said. "Long-term thinking should be part of everyday work, not an afterthought."

Rather than calling for policy changes, Farley's message is practical and personal. "You do not need a leadership title to lead well," he said. "Plan your day. Learn the basics. Be reliable. Those things compound over time."

Call to Action

Farley encourages individuals to take simple steps in their own routines: prepare for the next day before leaving work, take time to understand processes fully, and step outside when feeling overwhelmed to regain focus. "Careers are built quietly," Farley said. "If you do the small things well, consistently, the results follow."
