There is no real value in unshared knowledge
We share our knowledge and extensive experience because we care. While we recognize the importance of systems and processes in the equation of safe environments, our focus lies on the human element with all those factors that influence people and their behavior in safety-critical situations.

EyeOnRisk Program & Workshop Cover Diverse Aspects That Underly Our Daily Actions
As humans, we are prone to making mistakes, but what happens when those mistakes are made by individuals who are highly skilled, educated, and trained? It can be perplexing to observe seemingly foolish errors made by those who should know better, especially when those errors lead to significant consequences.
To delve deeper into this phenomenon, it is essential to explore the four spaces of human behavior: competence, physical, physiological, and social. Each of these areas can have a significant impact on our decision-making processes and how we behave in complex systems.
Situational Awareness
“Say…what’s a mountain goat doing way up here in a cloud bank?” – Gary Larson – Farside
Situational awareness refers to the ability to perceive and understand the environment and the context in which one is operating, and to use that information to make effective decisions and take appropriate action. It involves being aware of one’s surroundings, identifying potential hazards or opportunities, and anticipating possible outcomes.
Situational awareness is important in many fields, including aviation, healthcare, emergency response, sports, and day-to-day activities. There are several factors that can influence situational awareness, including attention, perception, memory, and decision-making. People can improve their situational awareness by practicing mindfulness, maintaining a constant awareness of their surroundings, and actively seeking out information about their environment.

How effective is the final barrier in protecting us, and do we truly have full control over it?
The fundamental concept is relatively straightforward and easy enough to grasp: a specific system has various layers of defense, compared to slices of cheese, that are intended to hinder a chain of events that could lead to an incident. One of these safeguards is “Human Behavior,” which represents the final line of defense. However, is the “Human Behavior” safeguard an effective and dependable defense mechanism? Do we have complete authority over our actions? It’s essential to take a step back and consider this carefully. The “Human Behavior” safeguard has more gaps or vulnerabilities than we might realize. The Eye-on-Risk Program delves into the underlying factors related to Human Behavior and how it impacts our everyday lives.
Explore The Next Level Of Awareness With The EOR Workshop
The Eye On Risk Workshop is an information-packed session that provides attendees with a complete understanding of the risky behavior and the factors impeding situational awareness and affecting people’s decisions under normal and challenging conditions. The course focuses on increasing awareness of human behavior and, by so doing, aims at boosting alertness and sustained attention to being active in identifying practicable controls to eliminate or reduce risk. The workshop also provides comprehensive training on behavioral intervention, safety leadership, and how to create a safety culture.
