Despite technological advancements, human factors and errors are still the primary cause of incidents and accidents. Understanding the role of the human in our systems and processes, especially their strengths and weaknesses, is the last step to overcome in improvement.
This training enhances performance through an understanding of the effects of teamwork, tasks, equipment, workspace, culture, and organization on human behavior. A human factors approach to safety differs from traditional safety training in that the focus is less with the technical knowledge and skills required to perform specific tasks, but instead with the cognitive and interpersonal skills needed to manage a team-based, high-risk activity efficiently.
2-Day Workshop: Improve Workplace Safety & Efficiency. Gain a good understanding of critical factors that influence human error, & practical strategies for making systems more fault tolerant, thereby improving workplace safety & efficiency.
Regardless of industry type or sector, statistics appear to be dominated by the contribution of human error. This is hardly surprising since humans are involved in the design, construction, maintenance, operation, and management of complex socio-technical systems.
While human error is a regular part of our human makeup, the consequences of mistakes in safety-critical industries such as transport, energy, mining and healthcare delivery can be disastrous and the subject of public outrage, exhaustive inquiries and drawn out legal action.
The cost of human error in the workplace is also considerable; for example, in healthcare, the direct medical costs of preventable clinical incidents arising from the human failure, have been estimated at $2 billion each year.
This comprehensive course will equip individuals with a sound understanding of contemporary human factors issues facing various industries.
Whether you are a manager, accident investigator or CEO, our program will provide you with an opportunity to understand the cause and consequences of human error and assist you with identifying practical strategies to design error tolerant solutions.
Some case studies presented throughout will reinforce general human factors issues and management solutions across various domains.
