How to Facilitate Your Own Reducing Human Error Shutdowns Workshops

If managers (OIMs and terminal managers, for example) could conduct their own brief human error shutdown workshops they could save the stress, hassle and considerable costs of unplanned shutdowns on an platform, rigs or land-base sites.

Now they can!

After successfully assisting one North Sea operator to reduce human error shutdowns by 50% over four platforms, Dr Bill Robb of Profit Improvers would like to share his insights and expertise with managers.

Until recently many people believed that there was no way to reduce unplanned shutdowns."We are human and we'll always make mistakes" , they say. That statement is misleading. It would be better to say "Every human will always have the potential to make mistakes but with training can reduce the number of them".

During this one-day workshop you'll gain insight into why the behavioural approach is so successful in reducing human error shutdowns. In addition you'll know exactly how to select case studies and write them in a way that maximises discussion and change.

A full schedule for the day is shown below. Maximum time will be devoted to questions and discussion. We will actually do a workshop within a workshop and stop at points to discuss then process. Extensive detail will be given on the "hidden aspects" that make these workshops a success. You'll also hear about some big mistakes you could make and how to avoid them!

A disc containing electronic copies of guidelines to set up and the handouts for the 3-hour workshop are included so you can easily amend these to suit your organisation.

Since the workshops are offered on demand, please register initial interest by email;
