In 1997, James Reason published 'Managing Organizational Accidents'. It was influential in popularizing his concepts around the Swiss Cheese model, his specific brand/recipe of safety (and just) culture, etc. and discussed ever since. But it also has this line in it just throwing incredible shade:

"Corrective training" has been a long-time popular method in traditional Japan's large corporations to fire underperforming workers.

Yeah, his concept of just culture is more about drawing a line in the sand where some behavior is clearly unacceptable and punishable, to create a safe area for well-intended workers to operate in and feel comfortable reporting safety issues. It is retributive, and has been debated as well.
