Fifty Ways to Kill a First Responder:
Understanding Emergency Services
Situation Awareness and Decision Making

This international award-winning program has been
described by as"a wake-up call" by program attendees.

"It is easy (and dangerous) to get caught in the trap of hindsight bias and say what
should have been done after you know the outcome. The challenge is understanding
what was happening
at the time decisions were being made. Dr. Gasaway helped us
understand what, why, and how catastrophic events occur."

The mental management of decision making.
A program for decision makers in business and industry.

Emergency Services Safety Review
Fix the problems that have creeped into your department's
operations
BEFORE the catastrophic event occurs.

Error creep...

This is where errors slowly creep into your organization's policies,
procedures, standard operating guidelines and daily operations
in ways that are so subtle, they'll go undetected.

Until... you have a catastrophic event occur and OSHA, NIOSH and a
whole host of critics will be lined up to tear your operations apart and
point out all the things you were doing wrong.

Wouldn't it be nice to have that kind of evaluation done
BEFORE you have a catastrophe?

We can help you see what adjustments need to be made and help you with
a plan to implement policy and procedural changes to improve firefighter safety.

Announcing the opening of the
Center for the Advancement of
Situation Awareness and Decision Making

The Gasaway Consulting Group is pleased to announce the
opening of the Center for the Advancement of Situation Awareness
and Decision Making (CASA DeMa).

Group President and CEO, Dr. Richard B. Gasaway
explains the motivation behind the launch of the center:

"The past four months have been an incredibly exciting and busy time for
the Gasaway Consulting Group as we have seen amazing interest in topics
related to situation awareness and decision making from both public sector
agencies as well as business and industry. The Center will provide us with a
mechanism to cultivate and disseminate educational materials through seminars,
webinars, podcasts, viral networks, books, videos, articles, and other media. I am
hopeful the Center will develop into a mastermind group of experts from academia
and practitioners who share a common interest in situation awareness and decision
making. The opening of the Center marks the accomplishment of a strategic objective
of the Gasaway Consulting Group."

Dr. Gasaway will serve as the Executive Director for the Center. More
announcements will be made as Center operations evolve and will be posted on
the Center's dedicated web page. Click on the "CASA DeMa" link on the navigation bar.
