How Smart First Responders Use Situational Awareness to Improve Safety
Presented by Dr. Richard B. Gasaway
Join us for a dynamic and informative workshop designed for all first responders, including firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and emergency medical responders. Dr. Richard B. Gasaway—globally recognized authority on situational awareness and human factors in high-stress environments—will lead attendees through essential strategies to strengthen their situational awareness and enhance safety during emergency responses.
Through real-world examples and interactive discussions, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how situational awareness is developed, how it can erode under stress, and how to avoid common decision-making pitfalls. Topics include:
- Pre-arrival lens and mission myopia
- Human factors and complacency
- Task fixation, overload, and task saturation
- Communication barriers and command support
…and much more.
This workshop is ideal for first responders operating in high-risk, high-consequence environments where making the right decisions can mean the difference between life and death.
