enabling controls: control effectiveness using human centered design
October 3 2024
Are you confident that the controls that workers depend upon are reliable and effective?
Writing of procedures is not sufficient to ensure safe work, the more we depend on people doing the right thing at the right time the greater the likelihood of unexpected failure.
Enabling Controls teaches you how to diagnose the strength and weaknesses of a given control and identify opportunities to improve control robustness using human centred design.
