Presenter

Ed Milnes, Guildford Ergonomics

Overview

Human failure – errors, mistakes are believed to be behind around 90% of workplace incidents. This webinar looks at how non-high-hazard businesses and SMEs in particular can benefit from focusing on the underlying causes of human failure at work.

The webinar will focus on safety at work, but the same concept can be applied to quality and other production issues. How often do we look at the root cause of human failure to see how we can stop the error from happening again? There are business benefits in looking further and longer than the error itself.

In this unmissable webinar, health and safety expert Ed Milnes will provide five key take-away messages with details of how to get further help and information.
