Book Course
HSL is to run a 2 day course on Human Factors in Accident and Incident Investigations.
5-6 July 2016
Introduction
It is estimated that as much as 90% of incidents involve Human
Factors causes. For those wishing to improve human
performance, personal safety, management systems and loss control,
effective 
investigation of the Human
Factors within accidents and incidents is an essential part of
achieving this aim. The lessons to be learnt from
investigating accidents provides the insights needed to make
effective improvements. Effective accident investigation
identifies critical issues using the minimum of resources possible,
and results in changes being implemented which reduce the risk of
similar accidents happening again, for an appropriate cost.
This is a big challenge, and this course aims to help delegates
find ways of achieving effective accident investigation within
their own organisational context.
This course is designed to give participants an impartial and
pragmatic understanding (and experience) of some of the techniques
that are available for investigating Human Factors issues.
Because of its role as HSE’s scientific centre for accident and
incident investigation, and because of its strong theoretical as
well as extensive practical experience in this area, HSL is
uniquely placed to provide a balanced appreciation of the very wide
range of different approaches and techniques that are employed
across various sectors.
This course is aimed at those relatively new to accident
investigation and human factors or wish to consolidate their medium
level of competence and to share experience and learning with
others from a range organisations and sectors.
What will the course cover?
-
Essential background understanding for accident
investigation -
Basic principles of a range of accident / incident
investigation techniques to identify causal and contributory
factors -
Practical exercises in investigation

Who should attend?
