This one-day course will introduce you to Human Reliability Analysis, used to pro-actively assess safety critical tasks and other business critical tasks to identify realistic potential human errors and so to take steps to reduce the probability of their occurrence. It will place Human Reliability Analysis in the context of the wider subject of Human Factors, and discuss the expectations of the Competent Authority.

Attendees will be taken through a Human Reliability Analysis methodology, starting with capturing and decomposing a task to understand its content and context using hierarchical task analysis, through to identifying potential human errors and relevant actions to reduce human error.

The course will include practical activities to embed and provide experiential learning. Assessment templates are provided for you to take away and use within your own organisation.

At the end of the course you will be able to lead or undertake simpler Human Reliability Analyses, and to participate in more complex safety critical Human Reliability Analyses either under supervision or as a team member under the guidance of a Human Factors specialist.
