dss⁺ Risk Factor™
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 it’s only a matter of time before repeated risks lead to incidents, and it suddenly becomes perfectly clear why it’s so important to raise the awareness of risk – and to do so in a way that sticks.
That’s where the dss+ Risk Factor™ comes in. Based in neuroscience, it is a transformational safety awareness program designed to expand and optimize risk awareness, and ultimately lower levels of risk both at home and on the job and reduce safety incidents.

A sneak peek at how we make risk awareness stick
Train the trainers
Our Train-the-Trainer learning experience, whether onsite or virtual, allows you to build Risk Factor delivery capability within your organization.
Risk factor implementation workforce-wide
From a learning experience reinforced by group discussions with interactive exercises, to Risk Factor conversations, and on-the-job application via field activities, our implementation program caters to all your employees.
Making it all stick with microlearning
We introduce the three Ps of learning – Pause, Process, Proceed – and complement that with text-message based microlearning for continued engagement and risk awareness.
Have you heard of STOP®?
Risk Factor complements the dss+ STOP® solution, a program focused on observation of behaviors and conditions and the “why” of safety, for stronger foundations to the safety culture you’re catalyzing.

A sticky, life-changing safety awareness program
Through five modules, we’ll train the trainers in your organization and give you the tools to increase safety awareness in an engaging, behavior-changing way.
Own it – the “what”
Explore risk and understand how we consciously and subconsciously make decisions that increase the frequency and level of unnecessary risk, impacting levels of risk exposure.
Choose it – the “why”
Understand how to change subconscious and conscious decisions and behaviors – driven by attitudes, feelings and emotions – to reduce levels of risk, and how auto-pilot can increase risk.
Change it – the “how”
Change your decisions and decision-making process to lower levels of unnecessary risk, implementing a systematic approach to identify risk factors and selectively reduce risk exposure.
Champion it – the “who”
Embrace courage, capability and character to reduce unnecessary risk in the workplace, and learn to communicate with co-workers to support them on their risk awareness journey.
Sustain it
As a leader, leverage our experience, toolkit, and support to implement and sustain Risk Factor principles and practices across the organization.
