Take your safety leadership to the next level

We help CEOs and Senior Leaders who are frustrated by continuing incidents reduce injuries, save money, time and energy by improving decision making in key moments at all levels.  

Perfect for businesses with mature safety systems who find that most incidents are the result of individual decision making in key moments. We help you create the environment for people to make better decisions in those moments. You've already reduced the process, site and system risks - we help you reduce the human element risk.

Empower you leaders to have different types of safety conversations - conversations about mind states.  By implementing our signature system you shift from a compliance based safety leadership to Pro-active mindset and decision making culture. 

This is the next level in improving safety - understanding the neuro-science of attention, decision making and habit generation.  We help you counter the effects of frustration, rushing, distraction, complacency, and fatigue.  People can make good decisions BEFORE the incident.

What would it mean to you and your business if you could reduce your injury frequency rate by 25-50% in the next 12 months?
