Stopping the Events That Kill: Three Safety Frameworks, One System

How can Energy-Based Safety, Critical Control Management and Critical Steps work together to strengthen fatality prevention? In this webinar, we explore how these three frameworks can provide different but complementary lenses for understanding and managing critical risks — from identifying the energy that can kill, to designing controls that can withstand human error, to protecting workers at the point where energy may be released. The discussion covers practical ways organisations can bring these ideas into existing risk management tools, including bow-tie analysis, rather than creating another standalone safety program. If you're working in critical risk management, fatality prevention, safety leadership or operational risk, this session provides practical ideas for looking at risk through multiple lenses — and considering what more can be done to prevent serious harm.
