Avoiding the finger of blame

Understanding the opportunities Human Error brings in Investigations. It is accepted that Human Error will be a feature of most incidents or unplanned failure events. What cannot be accepted is blame association or citing error as a Root Cause. Typically, human error is a symptom of a wider organisational shortfall or failure and this ought to be the investigative focus.

Her client list is some of the biggest names you will recognise in all different industries. With over a decade of research behind her she asked the question of not only WHY we need sleep but HOW TO sleep better, educating listeners on how to achieve that through her platform Purely Balanced.

Fatigue Management - help your workers become safer at work

We all know a human needs a good night sleep but how many of you actually know how to achieve that? And did you know, if you’re fatigued, you have the cognitive impairment the same as if you were impaired? Finally, did you know that your worker is 41% more likely to have an accident at work if they are tired? Well... Emma can help you reduce that fact. Fatigue is not only a well-recognised issue but it’s something we all deal with daily and this presentation itself is educational, inspirational and to the point.
