• Program Timings:
  • Training programs are held from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and include buffet sessions for light meals during lectures.

Introduction

Human errors refer to the environmental, organisational and job factors, and human and individual characteristics which influence the behaviour at work in a way which can affect an organisation’s health and safety performance. A simple way to view human error is to think about three aspects: the job, the individual and the organisation and how they interact to impact on health and safety related human behaviour.
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 course is aimed at providing delegates with the practical on-site knowledge and skills to develop and successfully implement effective human error analysis techniques.

Objectives

Participants attending the programme will:

• Explain the various human error analysis techniques and how they can be used
• Show how human behaviour can lead to human errors and incidents/accidents
• Provide practical ideas and methods for observing and preventing human errors
• Review practical case studies to show how other organisation have used human error analysis techniques to prevent human errors in the workplace

Training Methodology

Delegates will learn by active participation through inspiring presentation tools and interactive techniques presented in a lively, enthusiastic and interesting style. Delegates will take part in practical human error analysis exercises and group discussions, as related to their own organisation’s workplace activities.
