Presents: BETTER ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS: Understanding and Preventing Human Error Facilitated by: Maury Hill, M.Sc. Erg Maury Hill & Associates, Inc. - Adaptive Safety Concepts TM 8:30am - 4:30pm Fredericton Inn Continuing Education credits have been applied for with BCRSP, ABIH and CBROH BCRSP has approved this workshop for 0.5 CMPs - approval # 09079 On-Line Registration is available or download the seminar pamphlet (pdf) to fax or mail in your registration! Better Accident Investigations: Understanding & Preventing Human Error COURSE OUTLINE Often investigations find human error as a main contributor to accidents. Rather than a conclusion, this should be the starting point of an in depth investigation that will not only determine the various factors that lead to the error, but allow for better design of the equipment, environment, processes, systems and training related to the job tasks involved. Participants will learn how to systematically investigate for the physical, cognitive/mental and organizational factors that may have contributed to the accident, near miss or unsafe conditions. Using case studies, participants will develop and rehearse practical skills necessary to conduct investigations such as interviewing, fact gathering, constructing sequence of events diagrams, identifying and analyzing unsafe behaviours, synthesizing contributing factors and providing safety recommendations. WHO SHOULD ATTEND The workshop will be of interest to all those interested in developing skill in effectively investigating the causes of accidents, incidents and unsafe conditions in their environment, for example Managers, OHS Committee members, Ergonomists, Accident/Incident Investigators, OHS and Risk Managers, and Injury Prevention Coordinators. COURSE FACILITATOR Maury Hill, M.Sc. Erg Maury Hill served as the Transportation Safety Board's technical authority for human factors issues from 1992 to 2000. As such, he was responsible for the provision of human factors support to accident and incident investigations. For example, he was the lead human factors investigator for several major rail marine and aviation accidents, for example the Swissair Flight 111 accident at Peggy’s Cove. He used a systems approach to program development and implementation to successfully introduce a new approach to investigations, focusing on a systematic approach to the investigating for human factors in accident causation. The approach has received wide acceptance by international safety organizations and industries. In 2000, he became Manager, Macro Analysis, for the TSB, responsible for planning and directing a program of Macro Analysis projects, including cross-modal studies, in which trends, hazards and systemic safety deficiencies in the national transportation system are identified, analyzed and validated. Maury currently is providing authoritative consulting services to industry, government and universities in such areas as safety management and safety investigations, with a particular focus on human factors, through his firm Adaptive Safety Concepts. He has an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Carleton University, and a Master of Science in Ergonomics (Human Factors) degree from Loughborough University, U.K. Workshop Location Fredericton Inn This workshop will be held on in conjunction with the ACE Atlantic Region Annual conference.
