Human Factors & Safety

Ensuring safe, resilient and adaptable learning organisations

A human factors approach is important for safe and reliable operations. Human Factors is the study of all the factors, whether at the individual, team or organisation level, that make it easier to do things the right way, and hence reduce the likelihood of any human error becoming a full-blown accident.

Organisations that incorporate human factors thinking and train their employees in human factors spend effort to find out why people make mistakes, and are mindful in designing their work environments, processes, policies and guidelines to minimise human error.

In our work in aviation organisations, we know it is possible to achieve both zero-accidents and operational performance. We have deep understanding of what it takes to build a positive safety culture and the factors that shape safe behaviour. Our training can help your organisation reduce accidents and mitigate human error through practical skills, grounded in psychology, safety science research and engineering.
