"Trigger Training was the best behavioral training I have been exposed to in the nuclear industry. It was practical and informative while providing achievable measures to improve organizational performance. This is exactly the content that we need to help achieve zero-event operations and continue to strengthen our safety culture for the foreseeable future. Thank you for your effort to put this together and make it available to our staff."

Many undesirable events occur as a result of people proceeding in the face of uncertainty. At High Reliability Training (HRT), we have discovered, through analysis of multiple events, that there were visual cues that existed 90% of the time, prior to the event that could have informed the workers that something was not correct, and that holes existed in current organizational defenses. However, in most cases, this information was not acted upon and resulted in an undesirable event. Even though this is a disappointing fact, we still believe that front-line workers are the solution as they touch the system daily and can identify the Triggers that are present that are telling you something is wrong with your defenses, that is, if they are trained properly on how to respond when faced with Triggers.
