He explores how environmental, psychosocial, and operational hazards trigger physiological, functional, and cognitive drift, leading to cascades of failure. Listeners learn the HEAT and ECG checklists for detecting and reversing control loss, and how structured decision gates and route planning maintain safety, awareness, and performance in adverse environments.
