| - TEFF Overview |
|
||||
| Weick & Sutcliffe define HROs as those which are
1. preoccupied w/ failure 2. reluctant to simplify interpretations 3. sensitive to operations 4. committed to resilience 5. defer to expertise and when an organization or a person in an organization attain the qualities of an HRO, they are acting mindfully |

|
||||
| 1. Preoccupation w/ failure |
|
||||
| Failure is not loosing the fire; failure is an accident |
|
||||
| LCES Fr are fire guidelines that are primarily focused on safety |
|
||||
| 2. Reluctant to simplify interpretations |
|
||||
| While the TEFF appear to simplify, the nesting, or hierarchical organization of all fire guidelines makes the system more complex |
|
||||
| TEFF reorganizes fire guidelines from a linear system of over 180 rules to a multi-layered system that organizes fire guidelines into a hierarchy |
|
||||
| The TEFF process implicitly links guidelines, awareness, & action into a continuous feedback loop |
|
||||
| 3. Sensitivity to operations |
|
||||
| The TEFF process is an operational process, and it is not clear how it could be used in planning |
|
||||
| 4. Commitment to resilience |
|
||||
| The TEFF trends analysis is perhaps the feature which gives it its greatest resilience |
|
||||
|
|
While firefighters are trained to maintain SA, the trends analysis embeds SA into the fire fighting process as an integral part of maintaining safety |
|
|||
|
|
5. Deference to expertise |
|
|||
|
|
The consolidation of the fire guidelines is a the consolidation of nearly 100 yrs of fire fighting expertise |
|
|||
| Mindfulness | |||||
|
|
As mentioned above, the TEFF process is probably of greatest value to the newer firefighter |
|
|||
|
|
The experienced firefighter who has internalized her own mind set of fire guidelines, probably based on LCES, has achieved a mindfulness on the fire ground |
|
|||
|
|
TEFF can serve as a boost for rookie mindfulness |
|
|||
| TEFF can serve the experienced firefighter as a scratch when that itch hits them on the fireline | |||||
