Situational Awareness Matters: Volume 1

Flawed situational awareness is a leading contributing factor to first responder near-miss and casualty events. Yet, sadly, most first responders know very little about situational awareness - what it is, how to develop it, what erodes it and how to regain it once it has been eroded.

Fatigue
Multitasking
Freelancing
Emotions
Discipline
Assertiveness
Risk versus reward
Being defensive
Memory
Expectations
SOPs
Meta awareness
Staffing levels
Accountability
Debriefings
