Description: Via real case examples, learn how organizations apply principles of the new view of safety to address their most serious events. This shift in thinking will begin your journey to understanding how verification and validation processes are successfully applied to working conditions that combine two of the top 10 most hazardous workplaces in the U.S. When properly designed and deployed, this effort will positively impact the complexity around serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs). This process is based on the principle that more rules will not make workers safe because the work is complex, there is no one-size-fits-all solution, and it is impossible to identify and track everything that can fail. That’s why safety professionals should manage controls, not react to failure (incidents).
