What is Stopping Human Error All About?

What is Stopping Human Error All About? When I wrote a book titled Stopping Human Error, several people told me: You can’t say that! They said that it was impossible to stop ALL human errors.

When should you compromise safety? Of course, the only correct answer is, resoundingly, never. Yet, we encounter many compromises of safety in the workplace every day: shortcuts, error-prevention violations, or well-intended actions in the effort to improve performance efficiency.  It’s easy to become distracted on the job—whether you’re performing routine job functions or something outside normal operating functions—perhaps, especially for less familiar tasks. What should you do when distraction occurs and/or you feel you need to hurry? One idea […]
