Human Performance…. is the study of those elements that make people both brilliant and stupid, invincible and vulnerable, infallible and accident-prone... is about implementing processes and initiatives aimed at eliminating or reducing the influence of human factors in the work environment results in Performance Improvement in all areas of your business

from James Reason…. It is crucial that personnel and particularly their managers become more aware of: the human potential for errors, and the task, workplace, and organizational factors that shape their likelihood and their consequences. Understanding how and why unsafe acts occur is the essential first step in effective error management.

Behaviour Human Performance is a series of behaviours executed to accomplish specific task objectives INDIVIDUAL worker behaviours are an extremely crucial aspect of any performance improvement initiative However, ORGANISATION and MANAGEMENT influences on human behaviour are equally important, but often overlooked

Individual The collective behaviours of individuals determines the level of safety and performance achieved Execution of work is a product of mental processes influenced by diverse factors relating to work environment and the demands of the task, as well as the capabilities of the individual

Organisation The goals, policies, processes and priorities of an organisation directly influence individual and leader behaviours The organisation needs to take human fallibility into account, and create an environment that is aware of, and mitigates the severity of consequences from the inevitable human error

The Challenge! We need to influence 3 things!

The Basics All Performance is Human Performance All Error is Human Error All Events have a Human Error somewhere in the causal chain Initiatives targeting the reduction of Human Error better protects the organisation from Events

Defining Human Error Generic definitions for human error are; An inappropriate or undesirable human decision or behaviour that reduces, or has the potential for reducing, effectiveness, safety, or system performance An action that led the task or system outside its acceptable limits An action whose result was not desired by a set of rules or an external observer

The Goal To improve safety and productivity by proactively preventing events caused by human error Events An EVENT is an unwanted, undesirable change in the state of plant structures, systems, or components or in human/organizational conditions (health, behaviour, administrative controls, environment, and so on) that exceeds established significance criteria.

ORGANISATION & PROCESSES Zero is not a number – “It’s a Vision” The Goal INDIVIDUAL Work Preparation Work Performance Work Feedback ORGANISATION & PROCESSES Engineered Controls Administrative Controls Cultural Controls Zero is not a number – “It’s a Vision”

How do we reduce Human error? It involves creating willingness to stay attentive to situations and the environment.

How do we reduce Human error? We offer a once of course for awareness but we develop methods (systems) of sustaining a HER program to in your organisation to complete the error reduction process. By actively raising the staff awareness and following a simple HER system to avoid error your overall availability will continuously improve while having a SAFER more productive work environment. .  

A HP Program….. is a structured organizational initiative is driven by senior management and leadership requires resources and official infrastructure becomes an entrenched “way of business” becomes part of the fabric of your organization

A HP Program is NOT….. a short-term project only about fixing the workers an “add-on” that maintains status quo a quick fix to worker error

Misunderstandings about Human Performance HP is only about the workers and their practices Kicking butt will achieve good HP HP can be done with a “one-stop” training course Human Performance can be delegated No events means no HP problem Competence means no errors Errors are bad

A Typical HP Program 1. An Infrastructure to support the program Leadership educated in Human Performance Principles 1. An Infrastructure to support the program 2. A Site-Wide Reporting Culture, with low reporting thresholds 3. An Event Investigation dept to establish Human and Organisational causes 5. A Corrective Actions Program to track and monitor actions 4. A database to collect data for trending purposes, and to determine thresholds 6. An OE facility to share lessons learnt Alignment to HP Principles at all levels 7. An Observations & Coaching Program to gather “real-time” data on worker practices 8. A Rewards and Recognition program to identify, publicise and reward desired behaviours 9. An HP Toolbox for workers, supervisors and managers Embedding HP practices into all technical training Recruit advocates Continual communication and education throughout the organisation
