COURSE OVERVIEW

Regardless of industry type or sector, accident statistics appear to be dominated by the contribution of human error. Human error was a factor in every major publicised accident in recent memory, including the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and Space Shuttle Challenger Accident. The pervasiveness of human error within a system is hardly surprising since humans are involved in the design, construction, maintenance, operation and management of complex socio-technical systems.

This Safety Leadership Training will teach you the skills to proactively identify risk safety behaviour, train key staff in error management techniques, cultivate a positive safety culture and implement error-tolerant systems throughout your company. From front-line manager to CEO, this course will give you an understanding of the important role of human factors and error management in demonstrating effective safety leadership.
