In this episode, Dr. Gasaway is interviewed by Ed Mann, Director of Training and Education for Provident Insurance about the SAMatters Online Academy and why this training is so important for first responders. Description Ed Mann, Director of Training and Education for Provident Insurance interviewed Dr. Gasaway on the Provident Podcast. This episode is a shared recording of that show. During this episode, Dr. Gasaway addresses the following topics: Why is there such a lack of understanding in the fire service about what situational awareness is? What is a working definition of situational awareness for first responders? Why can't a judging mind be a learning mind? What role does staffing play in challenging situational awareness? What is the traditional decision making process and why does it not work well for first responders? How can fire departments be better prepared for high-risk, low-frequency events? How do human factors impact situational awareness? What are the five different situational awarenesses responders must develop? About the Host Richard B. Gasaway , PhD, CSP is widely considered a trusted authority on human factors, situational awareness and the high-risk decision making processes used in high-stress, high consequence work environments. He served 33 years on the front lines as a firefighter, EMT-Paramedic, company officer, training officer, fire chief and emergency incident commander.
