How reliable and robust is your safety defense system? Every organization, no matter how mature their safety system, operates on a spectrum between risk resistance and risk vulnerability. Since risk can never be totally eliminated and is not static, a dynamic tension between these two dimensions will always exist.

Defense layering is an integrated approach to risk management in which layers of defense barriers, both engineered and human, are built into the safety system to proactively identify unidentified hazards and latent risk conditions before they align in an accident trajectory.

In mature organizations, with robust defense systems, accidents still occur.  In fact over 90% of workplace incidents are the result of human error.  Since people design, build, operate, maintain, and manage an organization’s safety defense system, it is not surprising that the human factor plays the major part in both causing and preventing accidents.

We create employee-led safety cultures that maximize the potential of your people to be safety leaders and risk managers.  We believe that people can be impassioned safety heroes and culture change agents.
