Safety in design series - The role of biases
Safety in Design Series Part II
Making decisions is a crucial part of most engineers' roles. Using real-life case studies and examples, Santosh will change your mindset from "I am different, and it will not happen in my project!"

This event will explore the concepts share strategies to prevent bias from impacting our behaviour and decision making.
