Within 6 weeks, incident reports dropped by 41%, and leadership began referring to us as a ‘model unit.’ This isn’t theory—it’s battle-tested.”
— Sarah M., Director of Patient Safety, UK
“As a process engineer in oil & gas, I was skeptical. But the preoccupation with failure and deference to expertise tools changed how we run shift handovers. Our LTI rate halved last quarter. This course paid for itself tenfold.”
— Jamal R., Senior Safety Engineer, UAE
