Practical Lessons From Major Accidents
Vol. 4, No. 2
|
Greetings!
The cost of safety is constant vigilance, and this month's bulletin examines what happens when complacency sets in. Formula One's Darkest Day explores the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, in which two accidents claimed the lives of a promising rookie and the world's leading Formula One driver. Their deaths forced the industry to re-evaluate their safety measures and reinstitute the Grand Prix Driver's Association. The lessons learned from this tragic week are applicable across all industries and serve as an excellent reminder that one can never put safety on the back burner. The ERM North America Risk Practice is pleased to announce the return of our popular educational seminar series. Our consultants have been hard at work over the last few months creating new seminar experiences and updating the familiar favorites. Our new series kicks off March 22, 2012, with "An Introduction to Risk Consulting for Hazardous Facilities." This seminar is free but registration is required. For more information and to register, please read the Events section of this bulletin, or click here. |
 Practical Lessons  Bulletin
San Marino, Italy, 1994. Two men arrived to compete in the third race of the Formula One 1994 season. Roland Ratzenberger was in his first season of Formula One competition and was hoping to qualify for what would be just his second Grand Prix, while Ayrton Senna was a three-time World Champion who had already won 41 Grand Prix races, and was generally considered to be the best driver in the world. Tragically, neither would survive the week. Thanks in large part to safety measures instituted by the other drivers following this tragic weekend, theirs were the last Formula One-related driver deaths as of 2012. Their deaths carry important and striking safety lessons that are applicable across all industries and have likely saved countless lives in the last two decades.
