Human Factors Methods for Process Safety

Course Description

This course is intended for personnel who need to understand the broad topic of human factors as it applies to improving process safety. Many companies have not properly addressed human factors in their process safety programs and this course provides the information needed to do so.

At the conclusion of the course attendees will have a tool kit to comprehensively address human factors in process safety.

The course is taught by Dr. Paul Baybutt, one of the principal authors of the book, Human Factors Methods for Improving Performance in the Process Industries, AIChE/CCPS, Wiley, 2007.
