Workplaces and Organisations are easier to manage than the minds of individual workers. You cannot change the human condition, but you can change the conditions under which people work

Dr James Reason

Human Error Prevention Defined

The Human Error Prevention (HEP) process is about understanding that Human Error is never a true root cause for an issue. The basic assumption is that people do not want to make mistakes. Thinking systematically, HEP allows you to peel back more layers of the problem, uncover the true root cause and implement permanent fixes.
