Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
English term or phrase: line-of-fire
Together, they've worked more than four years without a lost-time injury and 447 consecutive days without a recordable case at the 157,000- square-foot facility.
As part of their success, the 215 xxxx co-workers have reliedon behavior-based safety to pay closer attention to the actions of others.
Part of that behavior-based safety includes following the SafeStart methodology to identify and prevent four different states of mind -- rushing, fatigue, frustration and complacency.
Those four states of mind can lead to four types of errors -- eyes not on the task, mind not on the task, line-of-fire and balance/traction/grip.

en posición de peligro


Explanation:
Me parece que está hablando de errores. Colocarse en posición de peligro o en una posición peligrosa, literalmente "en la línea de fuego".

línea de fuego


Explanation:
The SafeStart labor accident program is used in Spain its teaching materials have been translated into Spanish (where "line-of-fire" appears as "línea de fuego." A lot of the vocabulary that you may need for your translation is available online in SafeStart advertising. Examples:

Cuatro estados mentales: prisa, frustración, cansancio, ausocomplacencia/exceso de confianza

Errores críticos: ojos no en la actividad, mente no en la actividad, en la línea de fuego, equilibrio/tracción/adherencia

Here is 4 page document describing the a SafeStart program:
http://www.training.dupont.es/pdf/free-resources/0212-follet...

You can find many similar ones if you google "seguridad laboral" "safestart".

Hope this proves useful.
