A SafeStart Human Factors Analysis (HFA) is conducted as a pre-engagement diagnostic. It helps you understand how human factors are currently influencing risk, errors, and safety performance, and to develop a strategy to positively impact the organization’s climate and culture. SafeStart's best HFA consultants will engage you in this session about why an HFA is important. With HSE standards placing an increasing emphasis on both leadership commitment and employee engagement, this systems-based analysis will help you to identify where human factors exist within your organization’s operations, enabling you to prioritize high-leverage areas for improvement by embracing the principles of human factors management and HOP principles. Participants can expect a scenario-based analysis exercise with role play, discussion and reflection. They will leave with a better understanding of how human factors impact safety, quality and production.

Forward-thinking companies that implement SafeStart Now are looking beyond compliance to implement human factors elements into their existing safety management systems. But when it comes to sustaining a SafeStart Now implementation, there typically isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It can be helpful to hear what worked for others, and more importantly, what didn’t. SafeStart training allows you to rely less on luck and more on skill. But what if you could rely on work that trusted advisors have already done? Attending this panel will also allow you to consider the methods other sites have tried and tested. The panelists will discuss the four powerful techniques in a successful SafeStart implementation and the benefits of a 24/7 mindset with representation from small and large sites.
