Human factors training teaches us that not all accidents are preventable, but careful forethought and planning, combined with strict adherence to safe work practices will minimise the frequency and severity of accidents and incidents.

About the Human Factors training course

There is human involvement in virtually every accident and incident, however in many cases it is not the direct primary cause.
Accidents cost. They cost lives, cause injuries and frequently result in damage to plant and equipment.

Lost production …. increased costs, including insurance, medical and rehabilitation …. training and retraining …. and a lowering of workplace morale are just some of the outcomes of accidents that can impact the organisation.

Accidents can also result in substantial loss of market share and hence operational profits …. particularly in industries which deal directly with the general public.

A slip, an error, a momentary lack of concentration can have a profound effect on the rest of your life and indeed on the lives or your entire family and in some cases, many families.

Not all accidents are preventable, but careful forethought and planning combined with strict adherence to safe work practices and procedures will minimise the frequency and severity of accidents and incidents.

The intention of the human factor training videos is to examine the human factors involved in accidents, incidents and mistakes in the workplace.

Topics included in the online video training:

• Direct human involvement
