Introduction to Human Factors

Our NEW Online introduction to Human Factors course is now CPD Certified and CIEHF Accredited, giving learners confidence that the course is not only practical and engaging, but also recognised by respected professional bodies.

Designed as an accessible introduction to Human Factors in the context of the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH), this online course explores why Human Factors matters, how human performance influences safety, and what organisations can do to better understand and manage risk.

Learners will explore real major accident examples, discuss typical errors and violations using everyday scenarios such as driving, and build a clearer understanding of how people think, process information and behave within complex systems.

The course also looks at the impact of system design, organisational factors and the working environment on people’s performance – helping participants connect Human Factors theory with practical workplace application.

We have created the course with a blended learning approach to support different learning styles, with interactive elements that keep the experience engaging, practical and relevant.

If you work in a major hazards industry and want to understand Human Factors more clearly, this course is an ideal starting point – and no previous experience is needed.
