Human Error Analysis & Prevention

Overview:

Introduction:

Human errors refer to the environmental, organizational, and job factors, and human and individual characteristics which influence the behavior at work in a way which can affect an organization’s health and safety performance. A simple way to view human error is to think about three aspects: the job, the individual and the organization, and how they interact to impact health and safety-related human behavior.

After an accident involving human failure - using human error analysis tools can identify the causes and contributing human error factors. Establishing these underlying causes of an accident/incident is the key to preventing similar human error accidents/incidents.

This conference is aimed at providing delegates with the practical on-site knowledge and skills to develop and successfully implement effective human error analysis techniques.

Conference Objectives:

At the end of this conference the participants will be able to: 

  • Learn the underlying reasons why human errors occur
  • Explain the various human error analysis techniques and how they can be used
  • Learn how to assist others in your organization in dealing with human performance in your operations
  • Show how human behavior can lead to human errors and incidents/accidents
  • Review practical case studies to show how other organizations have used human error analysis techniques to prevent human errors in the workplace

Targeted Audience:

  • HR Professionals
  • Those seeking new prevention and mitigation approaches to solve human performance problems
  • Those seeking techniques to analyze facilities, systems, and operations proactively and reactively
