This training program will offer attendees an understanding of human errors in GMP related environments, factors and causes, and control measures to be put in place to reduce the same.
Why Should You Attend:
Human error is known to be the major cause of observations from regulatory agencies, quality deviations, and production losses in many organizations. Although it is unlikely that human error will ever be totally eliminated, many human performance problems can be prevented. Human errors start at the design stage. From procedures, training, and workplace environment many variables that affect human behavior CAN be manipulated reducing the likelihood of these occurrences.
To work with these challenges in a GMP environment it is really important to understand human behavior and the psychology of error as well as understand exactly where the systems weaknesses are, so they can be improved and/or fixed. This course offers practical approaches and models to address human performance issues in GMP related environments by using a specific methodology to correct, prevent and avoid re-occurrence of these issues.
