Courses

HF Expertise have developed a suite of Human Factors courses that in total address the key features of the Health and Safety Executive’s Human Factors Road Map. You can choose to follow the courses in sequence or to jump into a particular area you want to know more about. Alternatively, if you know you are going to rely on consultants to carry out most of the work, then we really recommend you sign on to our Human Factors in Major Hazards: What the Regulator Wants training course. Delivered by the people who wrote the inspection standard and trained the COMAH (Control of Major Accident Hazards) Competent Authority’s inspectors to deliver it, we can provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to know that you are getting the right service and products.

Want to get a group of people trained up in Human Factors to support your business, we can deliver bespoke training at your premises at a discounted price. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
