Catastrophes are a risk in organizational life. From a quality issue that causes consumer fatalities and brings reputational damage to a hostile working environment leading to harassment or to employees becoming seriously or fatally injured. These things are usually a surprise to the senior-most leaders. “I knew we had some issues at that facility, but…
Our first study on serious injury and fatality prevention revealed that these types of incidents had very different precursors compared to other types of injuries.

In this third part of Dr. Krause’s talk to a group of senior leaders, he emphasizes the importance and strategy for reducing SIFs.
In our book “7 Insights into Safety Leadership,” Tom Krause and I make the point that leaders should start with a focus on preventing serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs). What does it mean to focus on SIFs? What doesn’t it mean? Why is a SIF focus better? First, A Clarification Focusing on SIFs does not mean that smaller injuries are unimportant….
Dr. Tom Krause speaks on safety leadership, to a live audience of senior corporate executives. In the first of four videos, Tom emphasizes that new research has changed the way the safety community thinks about Serious Injuries and Fatalities.
