Consider possible nightmares ahead. Prepare checklists and promote safety. Everyone has responsibilities to ensure a safe workplace. This entertaining interactive course will engage all staff to minimize risk calmly and effectively.

Marcus invites everyone to dress in black with a touch of red for his Black Swan meeting. His aim is to explain the significance of black swan events and preparing for crises which can occur when we least expect them. He runs Cutting Edge staff through a safety drill and asks them to predict the likelihood of things going wrong. Steve emphasizes the importance of a proactive approach to risk and the necessity of learning from past mistakes. Sam calculates that by his matrix the likelihood of major error is over 60% at Cutting Edge as long as Marcus is around.
