Human Factors in Safety-Critical Organisations Trainer Course
Build Sustainable, In-House Safety Expertise
Transform Your Technical Experts into World-Class Human Factors Facilitators
For 30 years, Global Air Training has been recognized worldwide as the benchmark for Human Factors (HF) instructor development. In safety-critical and high-reliability environments, the effectiveness of your safety culture depends on the quality of your training.
Our 5-Day Human Factors Trainer Programme is a comprehensive "Train the Trainer" solution. We move beyond theory to provide your instructors with the practical skills, psychological insights, and ready-to-use materials required to deliver high-impact HF training within your specific operating environment.
Why Internal Trainers are the Key to High Reliability
While external experts provide the foundation, internal trainers understand your specific site risks, local procedures, and cultural nuances. This course empowers them to:
- Master Facilitation Over Instruction: We move beyond "death by PowerPoint" to focus on dynamic facilitation and questioning techniques that engage adult learners and change behaviors.
- Deliver Proactive Safety Strategies: Equip your workforce with skills that go beyond technical knowledge, focusing on the core aviation principles of Error Avoidance, Trapping, and Mitigation.
- Utilize Real-World Case Studies: Learn how to use landmark industry incidents—such as the Santa Fe rail incident, Costa Concordia, or BNSF Coal Train—to teach critical lessons in human performance.
- Break the Error Chain: Develop an in-depth understanding of the human and organizational causes of error to foster a more resilient workplace.
