Utility Safety in Depth: Managing Risk Through Cognitive Impairment Testing

This episode is an extension of “Managing Risk Through Cognitive Impairment Testing,” an article featured in the August-September 2021 issue of Incident Prevention magazine. To read the article – and to sign up for your very own complimentary subscription to the utility industry's best safety publication – visit incident-prevention.com.
