About the HEAPLS Program
Most operational failures trace back to conditions that made human error likely, not to careless individuals. The program gives teams a structured way to classify errors, study the tasks and conditions behind them, and design controls that prevent repeats. It covers error types, performance shaping factors, task analysis, error proofing and a just culture approach to reporting. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual, using the organization's own incident and near miss data.
