Human Factors Safety Training
Overview
Human Factors Safety Training helps build the defences that reduce and mitigate human errors at airports by developing an awareness of the individual factors that can impact human performance that lead to errors in the first place.
Please note – this course is also available in French.
Historically, research estimates that 85% of aviation accidents are attributed to human factors.
The Flight Safety Foundation estimates that the annual cost of employee injuries in the global aviation industry is $5.8 billion USD, and a further $4.2 billion USD in costs for ground accidents and incidents.
Human Factors Safety Training helps build the defences that reduce and mitigate human errors at airports by developing an awareness of the individual factors that can impact human performance that lead to errors in the first place.
This online course will provide participants with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of human factors and assist them to recognise, understand and mitigate human factors and errors on the airside.
It is highly recommended that all airside workers, service providers and contractors undertake Human Factors Safety Training to increase their awareness of the influence of human performance on safety.
