ASSP Gulf Coast North Section Meeting

Topic What?!?! Why did they do that?

Please join us Thursday, February 20, 2020, at Pallotta’s Italian Grill as we host Norman Ritchie in a discussion about human performance as it pertains to incident investigations.

• Human performance is a factor in many incidents
• Appropriate and effective corrective actions can be developed
• Learning from incidents can be measured

Five Principles of Human Performance (from https://incident-prevention.com/ip-articles/human-performance):

• People are fallible, and even the best make mistakes.
• Error-likely situations are predictable, manageable and preventable.
• Individual behavior is influenced by organizational processes and values.
• People achieve high levels of performance-based largely on the encouragement and reinforcement received from leaders, peers, and subordinates.
• Events can be avoided by an understanding of the reasons mistakes occur and the application of the lessons learned from past events.

This should be a great discussion about one of the key dilemmas affecting safety professionals – why did they do that?
