The Eye On Risk Way

When it comes to unsafe behavior, we strive to understand the true causes of erroneous acts. Rather than focusing on where and how things went wrong from a broader perspective, we concentrate on what made sense to the individual to act the way they acted, leading to the error. The EOR process entails exploring all the potentials, influential factors, and aspects affecting human behavior, consequently allowing for a better understanding of the revealed limitations, vulnerabilities, and weaknesses.

EOR is not a standard Safety workshop aimed at ticking the box. It is a serious experience.

Quality Training Like No Other

Human error is the tip of an iceberg, a symptom of a much bigger underlying problem. Yes, you’ve read it right: human error is a symptom, not a root cause, as most incident investigator(s) tend to disseminate. An error is a consequence of an action, and when people act, almost always, they either rely on something that made sense to them at the time of their action(s), or they act while influenced by several factors outside the act itself. Therefore, knowing what lies beneath the surface helps raise awareness, rationalize decision-making, and ultimately reduce accidents.

Eye On Risk explores this critical subject by diving into the unfathomable to find the imperceptible.

Know Your Risk Profile

Are you more likely to avoid roller coasters or ride the most thrilling ones in a theme park? When you are about to make a critical decision, do you usually hesitate a great deal, try to postpone your decision, or decide impulsively? We determine a person’s risk profile by answering these questions and others like them.

Know Your Risk Quadrant

Everyone has different needs in life. These needs vary on a scale between peace, stability, and safety on the one hand, and adventures, new challenges, thrills, conquering fear, or even taking a leap of faith, on the other. Moreover, these needs, coupled with many other underlying influences, determine to a large extent the individual’s behavior under different circumstances and, consequently, reveal what makes sense to them at the time of their decision. The specific manifestation of these subliminal desires highly depends on the circumstances and the context that the people of different personality types experience.

Core Training Topic

The EOR workshop is highly interactive, enjoyable, deeply powerful, well-paced, and pleasingly diverse in training materials. The covered topics are explored and explained in detail with real-time examples and innovative group and individual exercises. The facilitators present the content in a structured, clear, and engaging way leading to noticeable and immediate results..

ANATOMY OF ACCIDENTS
ANATOMY OF ACCIDENTS
Our perception of the primary risk factor influences the type of safety measures we undertake. This, in turn, is based on the incident model you subscribe to, which provides insights into identifying and mitigating risks. Throughout the last century, a multitude of incident propagation models has been developed, each with its own unique approach to understanding accident causation and prevention. Examining these models is vital for establishing risk strategies tailored to various settings. Individuals can better understand the complex interplay of factors that contribute to incidents and adapt their safety measures accordingly.
By integrating insights from diverse incident development models, participants of the workshop can gain a deeper understanding of how to efficiently pinpoint root causes, foresee possible hazards, and create tailored preventative actions. This all-encompassing method leads to a more secure working atmosphere and decreased accident frequency, providing advantages for both for all involved.
HUMAN ERROR
HUMAN ERROR
Over time, human error has consistently emerged as a critical factor in numerous investigation reports, often playing a significant role in accidents and incidents. Two dominant perspectives on defining human error have emerged, each with its own implications for addressing the issue.
The “bad apple” view posits that accidents occur due to the actions of specific individuals who make mistakes or demonstrate incompetence. This perspective often leads to a focus on assigning blame and addressing the problem through disciplinary measures or additional training for the individuals involved. Conversely, the “bad system” view emphasizes that human error is a result of systemic flaws, such as poor management, inadequate training, or insufficient resources. This perspective suggests that accidents can be prevented by addressing the underlying system issues and improving the overall work environment.
Recognizing the limitations of these two perspectives, we propose a more balanced approach to understanding human error. This approach takes into account the interplay between individual actions and systemic factors, acknowledging that both can contribute to accidents and incidents. We can develop a more nuanced understanding of human error by examining the complex interactions between human behavior, organizational culture, and the work environment.
LEADESHIP
LEADESHIP
When it comes to safety, embracing a leadership mindset is essential for everyone, regardless of their position. Leadership plays a crucial role in cultivating a safety culture within any environment, as it sets the tone for the values, beliefs, and practices that prioritize the well-being of people, families, communities, and organizations.
One of the primary goals of the EOR workshop is to educate participants on the significance of safe and responsible behavior, with a particular emphasis on leadership development. In addition, the workshop highlights the importance of integrity and consistency in cultivating leaders who can foster a culture of safety and promote responsible conduct within their communities. The workshop employs diverse approaches such as case studies, examples, and exercises to demonstrate and reinforce crucial concepts, empowering participants to apply their skills and knowledge to real-life situations.
HUMAN BEHAVIOR
HUMAN BEHAVIOR
Unlike traditional workshops that may focus on technical aspects of risk, the EOR workshop has a strong emphasis on human behavior. For example, rather than simply attributing an accident to human error, the key is to delve deeper into what influenced the individual’s decision-making process and what factors were involved in their reasoning. By doing so, we can better understand why the error occurred and identify opportunities to improve safety measures moving forward. It’s not just about drawing conclusions but rather exploring the underlying thought processes and circumstances that led to the mistake. The workshop underscores the essential role that people play in managing risks and highlights the vulnerability of human behavior, which can either exacerbate or mitigate risk. Participants gain insights into the factors that may impede their behavior and decision-making processes, allowing them to make safer and more informed decisions.
SPACES OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR
SPACES OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR
The Eye On Risk workshop centers around the four spaces of human behavior, namely Competence Space, Physical Space, Psychological Space, and Social Space, which all have a significant impact on decision-making processes and behavior in high-risk environments. Attendees gain an understanding of how these spaces impact human behavior and decision-making processes, particularly in high-risk environments. The workshop provides practical tools and techniques for addressing each space and improving rational, responsible, and safe behavior.
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
The Situational awareness is an essential aspect of rational decision-making, as it requires individuals to be mindful of the diverse elements and conditions present in a given situation. This heightened perception allows people to accurately evaluate the current context, foresee potential outcomes, make well-informed decisions based on accessible information, and be able to adapt swiftly and rationally to changing environments. Adopting this comprehensive and forward-thinking viewpoint enables them to consider multiple options, balance the advantages and disadvantages of each, and ultimately choose the most suitable course of action. This approach significantly reduces the probability of adverse consequences and ensures more effective decision-making.
The EOR workshop places emphasis on the significance of situational awareness to encourage safe and responsible conduct.
BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION
BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION
Behavior intervention plays an important role in promoting health and safety in a range of settings, including homes, workplaces, and public spaces. By encouraging positive behaviors and discouraging negative ones, behavior intervention can create a safer and healthier environment for individuals and communities alike. In addition, behavior interventions can help identify and address underlying factors that may be contributing to problematic behavior, such as stress, fatigue, or lack of training, leading to more sustainable solutions that promote long-term health and safety.
COGNITIVE ENABLERS & LIMITERS
COGNITIVE ENABLERS & LIMITERS
The EOR workshop emphasizes the cognitive enablers and limiters that influence human behavior and decision-making processes. The workshop highlights how cognitive biases, heuristics, and mental shortcuts can impede rational decision-making and increase risk. Through practical examples, case studies, and exercises, attendees cultivate a more profound comprehension of these cognitive factors and learn how to recognize and combat them to promote safe and responsible behavior.
PERSONAL RISK PROFILES
PERSONAL RISK PROFILES
The Eye On Risk (EOR) workshop addresses the fact that individuals have different personal risk profiles that can impact their risk perception and propensity. Through practical exercises and discussions, participants gain insights into how these differences can affect decision-making processes in high-risk environments. The workshop provides practical guidance on how to identify and manage individual risk profiles to improve safe behavior.
SOCIAL INHIBITORS OF SAFE BEHAVIOR
SOCIAL INHIBITORS OF SAFE BEHAVIOR
Various social inhibitors have the potential to impede rational human behavior, such as groupthink, normalization of deviance, and blind obedience to authority, among several others. The workshop aims to educate attendees on how these inhibitors can influence individual decision-making processes, leading to risky behaviors that may result in adverse consequences. In addition, the workshop includes interactive case studies and practical exercises that provide attendees with a better understanding of how these social inhibitors can increase risk and how to identify and address them effectively.
