Introduction to Human Factors and Non-Technical Skills (PPWD)
About this course
The course will provide the foundation for improving individual and organisational safety. Using a combination of theory, discussion workshop and practical elements the course will assume minimal knowledge of Human Factors and Non-Technical skills. It will provide you with a core knowledge of relevant theories and link these theories to real world situations.
The course includes:
