Case Study: Examining the Impact of Human and Organizational Performance
9:45 am
- Understanding that behaviour is driven by the overall system and analysing how organizational design, procedures, and conditions influence choices made by workers in the field
- Utilizing HOPs to view safety and production as two interdependent outcomes of a single, highly reliable operating system, rather than competing priorities that must be balanced or traded off
- Implementing controls that focus on the organization’s ability to anticipate, absorb, and adapt to system pressures and failures, ensuring that safety is managed through system strength, not individual perfection
