Abstract
Human Performance issues may be complex and can cover a broad range of disciplines. Investigating incidents from a Human Performance perspective requires a different approach than conventional incident analysis methodologies allow. This presentation offers a pragmatic set of concepts that can be applied through the entire process of responding to the learning opportunities presented by incidents, including data acquisition, analysis, and developing appropriate and optimized corrective actions for Human Performance causal factors.
