Course Summary

This Human Failures & Safety Critical Task Analysis training course equips professionals with the essential knowledge and practical skills to identify, analyse, and mitigate human errors in safety-critical environments. Human failure continues to be a leading contributor to major accidents and operational losses in high-risk industries such as oil and gas, manufacturing, aviation, and utilities. Through this training course, participants will explore various types of human failures, delve into the Human Factors Analysis Classification System (HFACS), and master the processes of task analysis and risk assessment.

By attending this training course, participants will be able to evaluate task-criticality, apply analytical techniques, and design controls to minimise human error. The training course also emphasizes regulatory expectations and industry best practices to support compliance and performance improvements. Each module is designed to ensure practical application in workplace scenarios, with a focus on elevating safety standards, reducing operational risks, and embedding a culture of accountability and awareness.
