Implementing an Effective Human Error Reduction Program

Recorded Session
90 Minutes

In GMP-regulated industries, human error deviations are more than an inconvenience: the regulations require you to deal with them. This 90-minute human error reduction program training explains what that means and how to build a program that works.

21 CFR 211.22 gives the quality control unit authority to review production records to make sure errors have not occurred or, if they have, that they were fully investigated. European Commission guidance adds that when human error is suspected, you must make sure process, procedural or system problems weren't overlooked, take appropriate CAPAs and monitor their effectiveness under quality risk management.

The program presented combines qualitative and quantitative methods with practical tools for controlling, measuring and predicting human error.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Regulators expect human error to be investigated properly, not used as a default root cause. This training gives you steps you can implement at your own site, including practical tools, a six-step implementation process and ways to measure effectiveness so human reliability keeps improving.

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