Human Performance - both virtual and in-seat participation options
Human Performance is the next generation of safety management. Human error is often identified as the cause of many accidents. However, it is the beginning point rather than the end point in truly understanding both accident causation and safety performance.
The old view of safety assumes that people can choose to make errors, and when they do, it is due to willful misconduct. The new view understands that all humans make mistakes every day, even every hour. This requires us to understand the system and leadership issues that can cause human error and how to create systems that reduce error or make it safer to fail.
We are excited to introduce member professionals responsible for any aspects of field leadership/management to this new course that will be offered on October 20, 2022.
