The worst aviation accident in history occurred in 1977 when two 747 jets collided on the island of Tenerife, killing 583 people. Just like hazardous situations that lead to injuries in the workplace, there were several “leading indicators” or warning signs preceding the collision that warned of impending danger. Included is an interview with Bob Bragg, the only surviving crew member of the Pan Am 747 involved in the Tenerife disaster.

• An explanation of what happened that day on Tenerife and what three leading indicators warned of potential danger.
• How changes in the place, plan and people of work activity can affect our ability to perform job tasks safely.
• Why it is imperative that we recognize changes in work activity.
• How pressure to get a job done in a hurry can have adverse effects.
• Why we need to listen to others when they speak up about a safety issue.
• The importance of speaking up if we see an unsafe act.
