Human Factors

Description

Who Would Benefit

The Human Factors Training Course has been developed for all employees who wish to understand more about the factors that influence human behaviour.

Course Description

Human Factors is the scientific discipline which is interested in the different factors which influence behaviour. These include environmental, organisational and job factors as well as individual characteristics, which may influence a person’s behaviour. Combined, these factors can ultimately have an impact on health and safety. 

Unfortunately, human error cannot be completely avoided; even the most highly trained professional can still make mistakes. This interactive training course will highlight the factors that can influence people and their behaviour and with a clear understanding of human factors, teams can be more aware of potential threats and minimise errors. 

This course examines when and where things go wrong, the root causes of errors and what can be done in managing these situations when faced with the stresses and strains of everyday work.
