Critical Control Management in Action: Introducing The Critical Edge Series

In every serious incident investigation, one pattern repeats itself.

The controls that were meant to prevent catastrophe either weren’t clearly defined, weren’t properly verified — or weren’t working at all.

For organisations operating in high-risk industries, this reality is confronting. Because when critical controls fail, the consequences are irreversible.

That’s why myosh is launching The Critical Edge — a new monthly webinar and insights series dedicated to advancing Critical Control Management (CCM) and strengthening the systems that prevent fatal and catastrophic events.

This isn’t just another webinar.

It’s a leadership platform for organisations serious about ensuring the controls that protect lives actually work — and are continuously verified.

Over the past decade, myosh has invested deeply in developing CCM functionality that goes beyond static Bowtie diagrams and manual tracking. Our approach connects control definitions, verification workflows, performance data, and accountability into one living system of assurance — a level of integration still emerging across much of the industry.

Because when it comes to preventing fatal events, intent is not enough. Verification is everything.

Why Critical Control Management Matters More Than Ever

Across mining, energy, construction, transport, and heavy industry, businesses are increasingly adopting Critical Control frameworks.

But many organisations are still operating with:

• Static Bowtie diagrams

• Manual spreadsheets

• Reactive investigations

• Fragmented verification processes

• Limited visibility across sites and contractors

In theory, controls exist.

In practice, assurance is inconsistent.

CCM changes that.

Critical Control Management shifts the focus from reacting to incidents to proactively verifying the few controls that truly stand between normal operations and catastrophic harm.

It’s about clarity.
It’s about verification.
It’s about visibility.
And ultimately, it’s about saving lives.

Introducing The Critical Edge

The Critical Edge is myosh’s new monthly series exploring the future of:

• Critical Control Management (CCM)

• Human & Organisational Performance (HOP)

• AI in Safety

• Digital control assurance

Each month, we’ll host a live webinar deep dive, followed by a companion newsletter edition — delivering insights, case examples, practical tools, and emerging thinking from across the industry.

Our goal is simple:

To help organisations connect people, data, and decisions for stronger safety outcomes.

This series is designed for safety leaders, operational managers, executives, and risk professionals who want to move beyond compliance and build systems that genuinely prevent catastrophic events.

Because the controls that matter most must be defined, verified, and visible.

First Session: Verifying the Controls That Save Lives – CCM Foundations

We’re kicking off the series with a foundational session that sets the benchmark for what effective CCM looks like in practice.

‍

The Critical Edge: Live
Verifying the Controls That Save Lives – CCM Foundations

‍
📅 Friday, 27 February 2026
🕒 10:00 AM AWST
🎙️ Presenter: Adrian Manessis, Director of Technology, myosh
🕹️ Format: Live Webinar (40 minutes + Q&A)

In this launch session, Adrian will unpack:

• What Critical Control Management really means beyond paper Bowties

• Why traditional control tracking often fails

• How digital workflows transform verification into a practical, automated process

• What long-term control assurance visibility looks like at scale

More importantly, you’ll see how the myosh CCM functionality turns control assurance into a connected, living system — not just documentation.

A system that saves time.
Builds confidence.
And most importantly, helps protect lives.

From Documentation to Demonstrated Assurance

Many organisations have defined critical controls.

Fewer can demonstrate, in real time, that those controls are effective.

This is where technology matters.

myosh’s Critical Control Management functionality is designed to:

• Embed control verification into daily operations

• Connect frontline activities to risk controls

• Eliminate manual spreadsheets and fragmented reporting

• Provide leadership with real-time performance visibility

• Enable long-term reliability tracking

CCM shouldn’t live in a PowerPoint file.

It should live in your operations.

The Critical Edge series will explore exactly how that transformation happens.

Building a Community Around Life-Saving Systems

The Critical Edge is more than a webinar.

It’s an ongoing conversation about what effective safety leadership looks like in a world where:

• Data is abundant

• Expectations are rising

• Catastrophic risk remains very real

Each monthly session will tackle a different dimension of modern control assurance — from AI-driven insights to mining case studies, digital transformation, and the integration of HOP principles with CCM.

And each session will be followed by The Critical Edge: Insights — a companion newsletter sharing highlights, tools, and extended commentary.

Our aim is to build a community of organisations committed to strengthening the systems that prevent serious harm.

Because saving lives isn’t a compliance activity.

It’s a leadership responsibility.
