DO YOU NEED ANY HELP?
My job is to support you to deliver your human factors strategy from conceptual planning, through implementation, to delivery of training.
What are Human Factors and Why do they Matter?
The HSE definition states:
‘Human factors refer to environmental, organisational and job factors, and human and individual characteristics, which influence behaviour at work in a way which can affect health and safety.’
It is often stated that ‘human error’ is to blame for more than 80% of all accidents.
How can Human Factors Help Save Money
In the words of the late Trevor Kletz,
‘There’s an old saying that if you think safety is expensive, try an accident. Accidents cost a lot of money. And, not only in damage to plant and in claims for injury, but also in the loss of the company’s reputation’.
