There is a high potential for catastrophic failures in the complex, sociotechnical, and highly dynamic processes of high-risk industries. Yet, catastrophes are avoided on a daily basis due to processes and procedures working correctly. And even when errors do occur, the likelihood of a catastrophic failure due to cascading errors is extremely remote. However, when cascading errors do occur, with little or no mitigation, the probability of a catastrophic event becomes more likely. Catastrophes are typically the end stage of a series of failures that may have been latent in the system for a long period of time, perhaps years. In many cases, accident precursors can be traced all the way back to poor management decisions at the highest levels of the organization.
A strong safety culture is an absolute necessity for high-risk industries. This includes the incorporation of a Just Culture. Without a good culture, organizations will struggle to obtain resilience to adverse events, possibly leading to a catastrophic accident; an accident that could have easily been prevented. This workshop provides the attendee with the necessary knowledge to build and/or reinforce a strong safety culture within their organization. |
