How to implement an effective Human Error Investigation Program

Recorded Session
90 Minutes

Human error is a leading cause of quality and production losses in many industries. It will never disappear completely, but many human performance problems can be prevented, because errors often start at the design stage, in procedures, training and the work environment.

This 90-minute human error investigation program training gives practical approaches and models for GMP-related environments. You'll learn what human error is, how it is controlled, how to determine root and near-root causes, and a 6-step method for preventing errors and avoiding repeats.

The session also covers an error reduction system and tools, a cognitive load tool, human factors categories and their risk multipliers, measuring error rates, trending, tracking and prediction, CAPA effectiveness, implementation steps, metrics and KPIs, and current trends in human error issues.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Reducing human error means understanding human behavior and the psychology of error, and knowing exactly where your system is weak. This training gives you practical tools you can put to use straight after the session.

It suits training managers and coordinators, operations, manufacturing and plant engineering staff, QA/QC, process improvement professionals, industrial and process engineers, compliance officers, regulatory affairs professionals and corporate counsel.
