OVERVIEW

This course offers practical approaches and tools for human error reduction and prevention in GMP related environments by using a particular methodology for human error assessments, correction, prevention and avoidance of reoccurrence of these matters.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

Human error is known to be the primary cause of quality and production losses in many industries. Although it is unlikely that human error will ever be eliminated, many human performance problems can be prevented. Human errors start at the design stage.

From procedures, training, and workplace environment many variables that affect human behavior CAN be manipulated reducing the likelihood of these occurrences.

When working with these challenges, it is imperative to understand human behavior, human error metrics and the psychology of error as well as understand exactly where the weaknesses of the system are so that they can be improved and fixed.
