Embrace a Human: Error Prevention and Management Strategies

Tim P. Bottorff

People are often ashamed to admit they’ve made a mistake—but human error is unavoidable. The reality of the situation is that simple mistakes can often have serious injury outcomes. Should you focus on helping people prevent making errors in the first place or focus on managing errors with sound systems thinking?
Tim will demonstrate how to do both. See why individual, group, and systems thinking is needed to effectively prevent injuries and continuously learn from every day variances in work to avoid serious consequences. Presented by Tim P. Bottorff, CSP, CIT – SafeStart Senior Consultant, Lecturer, Central Washington University and Vice President, Region II ASSP.
