Learning Outcomes

Participants will develop a comprehensive understanding of human factors in military safety investigations. They will learn to classify human errors, identify systemic and organizational contributors, and apply frameworks like HFACS (Human Factors Analysis and Classification System). By the end of the course, learners will be proficient in integrating human factors analysis into investigations to enhance military operational safety.

Focus Points

The course delves into human error taxonomy, organizational influences, and decision-making under stress. Key topics include situational awareness, crew resource management, communication breakdowns, and cognitive biases. Practical examples and case studies of military incidents will solidify concepts and prepare participants for applying human factors classification effectively.

Participants

This course is designed for military investigators, safety officers, and command personnel involved in incident analysis and prevention. A basic understanding of investigation processes is helpful but not required. Participants will gain essential insights into the role of human factors in shaping military safety and operational outcomes.
