Error Mitigation Workshop, presented by MEA Field Leader Training - Human performance improvement looks at how people think about and perform their work. It recognizes the unavoidable truth that people make mistakes and identifies causes of human errors to provide tools to help minimize their occurrance. Studies show that 70-90% of events can be attributed to human error.

In fact, it doesn't matter how long a person has been in their job or how much skill or training they've received, mistakes and errors are bound to happen. The good news is by understanding the concepts of human performance improvement, leaders and their crew can reduce the number of errors and the severity of those error driven events.

In this workshop, we will look at the basics of human performance improvement including the what/how/why's of errors and events. A simple framework for analyzing errors and events to ensure prevention will also be discussed.

An introduction to human performance improvement
