Investigating Human Factors to Correct Operator Errors
Registration Options
Individual Registration
Group Registration
Investigating human error usually begins with root cause analysis, understanding why the error occurred, and generating corrective actions to fix the problem. But when repeat errors happen, we question the robustness of our CAPA process. As investigators, we need to understand how the error occurred first before understanding why it happened, and then align corrective actions that map back to the root cause.
This training course will provide updated insights and best practice techniques to help investigators get beyond operator error-retrain-repeat incidents. Attendees will participate in interactive exercises and group activities, covering these content sections: Training Root Cause Analysis, New View of Human Error, 11 System Interfaces as Factors, and Corrective Actions Aligned with Human Error Categories.
Familiarity with Root Cause Analysis and CAPA Investigations is highly recommended prior to attending this training course.
- Demonstrate conducting a training root cause analysis
- Distinguish between hindsight bias and new view of human errors
- Examine 3 sets of human errors that can influence successful corrective actions
- Identify system linkages as potential enablers and barriers
- Apply decision making criteria for implementing corrective actions
