dss+ Risk Factor™ Brochure
Risk is all around us. No matter the type of risk or its source, the only constant is that risk factors, levels of risk, and exposure to risk are always changing. Combine that with the fact that only 5-10% of decisions are conscious and that repeated risks lead to incidents, and it becomes clear why it's so important to raise the awareness of risk — and to do so in a way that sticks.
A transformational solution designed to expand our understanding of risk
Building on recent discoveries in neuroscience, dss+ Risk Factor™ is a transformational safety awareness solution that leverages our brain's ability to recognize contributing factors that increase risk levels and threaten our safety or the safety of others. The program provides a systematic, sustainable approach to not only increase risk awareness, but to touch hearts and change mindsets, significantly reducing levels of risk taking and helping prevent safety incidents.
90%
Neuroscience tells us that we make 85 to 90 percent of our decisions based on feelings and emotions.
Next-Level Safety Awareness Training
The dss+ Risk Factor™ program consists of five modules that help build a better understanding of human motivational factors and their impact on the decision-making process that supports a stronger safety culture.
| 1 |
Own It explores the "What" — What are the different risks and risk factors that threaten our safety and the safety of others? Participants look at how we make decisions that increase the frequency and level of unnecessary risk both on and off the job, and awareness of conscious and subconscious decisions that can shift levels of risk exposure. |
| 2 |
Choose It investigates the "Why" — Why do we sometimes choose to take risk or overlook risk factors that put ourselves and others at risk? This modules goes deeper into the attitudes, feelings and emotions that drive our decisions and examines how "auto-pilot" decisions and behaviors significantly increase levels of risk. |
| 3 |
Change It examines the "How" — How do we change our decisions and behaviors to reduce levels of risk? Participants look at the decision-making process and how to implement a systematic approach to consciously identify risk factors and take action to reduce risk exposure. |
| 4 |
Champion It, addresses the "Who" — Besides ourselves, who are the people that can help reduce levels of risk? This module builds on the ability to apply the principles of Risk Factor,Increase using elements of compelling communication and engaging in authentic Risk Factor Conversations to help reduce levels of unnecessary risk. |
| 5 |
Sustain It guides Leaders and Front — Line Supervisors in implementation and sustaining Risk Factor principles and practices across their organization. This module focuses on inspiring ownership of personal safety and creating a sustainable action plan to increase risk awareness, reduce safety incidents and build a stronger culture of safety. |
