| Some organizations function in high risk environments where error or failure, though
uncommon, results in catastrophic loss, bodily injury, or death. Some believe that the
complexity of situations contributes to these errors and failures. Though counter-intuitive, others believe that system complexity can mitigate or prevent errors and failures. These latter systems have developed a high degree of reliability. Researchers have identified elements of these High Reliability Organizations (HRO) which can be applied to other fields. The same systems developed on US Navy aircraft carriers can apply in fire suppression, law enforcement activity, medicine, and business management. This conference brings together national and international experts in high reliability
from the US Navy, fire service, medicine, law enforcement, and academic management programs. This conference will present current research and knowledge for use by professionals in medicine, law enforcement, fire service and business management. The conference's target attendee comes from positions in administration, operations, command, and management of high-risk systems.
