Gulf Coast ASSP North Section Meeting

Topic Decoding Risk: A Leader’s Playbook for Building Cognitive Readiness

When an incident happens, we call it “human error,” but the fault isn’t usually negligence. It’s a cognitive blind spot, a hidden risk created by fatigue or overload that neither the operator nor your checklists can see. Learn how ergonomics, neuroscience, and AI work together to find the invisible patterns that precede a mistake. Leave with a playbook to stop blaming and start predicting, building a team that is not just trained but cognitively prepared for the job.
