Human Performance (HP) (1 Day)

About Course

This one-day Human Performance training course provides a foundational understanding of why people make mistakes and how organisations can reduce error in high‑risk environments. The course shifts the focus from blaming individuals to examining the wider context in which work is performed.

The course blends interactive workshops, real‑world case studies, and practical application to help organisations create more resilient, error‑tolerant systems.

  • Exploring the ‘Dirty Dozen’—12 human factors leading to incidents in safety‑critical industries.

Tools & Practical Techniques
