For the last 25 years, Jill Fredston has quite literally staked her life upon finding quick, accurate answers to these questions. Her unique insights concerning risk assessment and decision-making are directly applicable to competitive, volatile business environments. With extraordinary images and stories, Jill is not only able to put the audience nose to nose with grizzly bears or on the steep edge of a slope about to avalanche, but to bring a fresh, real-world perspective to weighing the odds, fostering communication, and making wise choices.

Thursday, Feb. 15,
4 p.m. - 5 p.m.
The FSF Ground Accident Prevention (GAP) Program began in late 2002 in response to FSF members who felt that ground damage of airplanes and ramp equipment was more than simply a cost of doing business. The program developed into an international industry-wide program that has developed a model of the cost of ground accidents, a database of ground accidents and incidents, and programs for mitigation of ground damage through management and leadership actions. Currently the program is in the final development phase and is rapidly transitioning into implementation. This presentation will describe the GAP Program in more detail and show the variety of stakeholders of ground injury and damage. The tools for estimating costs of ground damage and injury will be used to show the world-wide cost estimates that approach $10 billion annually. Strategies and tactics for mitigation of ground injury and damage will be discussed and the sources for these tools will be identified.
