He connected those lessons to the drilling environment, where high pressure, split-second decision-making, and teamwork are just as critical.
CAVU's David Hazell is set to speak at the IADC Well Control Conference ont he topic of “Enhancing Well Control Training through Simulation and Crew Resource Management (CRM)” -- in this presentation David will discuss challenging the status quo of training in high-risk environments—and propose a bold, proven alternative.

Many organizations face the challenge of progressing from a reactive, compliance-based safety culture to one where safety is naturally integrated into the organization's decision-making, leadership, and daily behaviors.
