Cognitive Bias and Incident Investigations
How it Happens & How to Avoid
People are prone to unconscious biases that help us form our thoughts, reactions, responses, and perceptions.
Most of the time, these mental shortcuts help us.
But when a detailed, accurate recollection is needed, such as during an incident investigation – these biases can prevent us from seeing the whole picture.
So how can you tell when your teams – or your own – biases are helping, and when they’re hurting?
This webinar will uncover the most commonly problematic cognitive biases for incident investigations and how you can prevent these biases from impact safety in your workplace.
Tune in to learn:
- How our brains make decisions, recall events, and process information in the workplace
- Which cognitive biases impact workplace safety and hinder investigations
- The most common biases and how to overcome them
- Tips for reducing the effect of biases on investigations, reports, and more
