Analytic and Forensic Safety

Faulty Assumptions, Erroneous Reasoning and the Illusion of Knowledge

Safety has two main objectives: avoiding the occurrence of unsafe activities/conditions and minimizing their consequences. After an accident comes the investigation and analysis and there are a certain set of criteria that determine whether something is safe or unsafe. Join us on Thursday, July 6, where Jon Moldestad will be covering Analytic and Forensic Safety – where we will be discussing mistakes and errors safety professionals make in decision making and reasoning involving accident investigation and analysis.
