Is Your Brain Keeping You From Recognizing Hazards?
Presented by Korky Vault
$45 Member | $90 Non-member | $10 SME Student Member
Hazard recognition research shows that workers only identify about 45% of hazards in their workplaces, primarily due to how our brains process information, as well as not using our tools to slow our pre-job processes. Of the 55% of missed hazards, approximately 35% are missed because of cognitive biases and blind spots. Simply put, a cognitive bias is a break in our normal, rational judgement. While there are literally dozens of reasons why we stray from our rational thinking, in this presentation we will look at some of the cognitive biases and blind spots that could influence us into making an error. To be safer at work, we must be consciously aware of our biases and act against them when needed.
