Error Prevention Institute

Mistakes cause many of the problems that limit an organization's effectiveness. The results of mistakes can range from severe financial liability or unproductive downtime and rework to property destruction and damaging injuries or even a loss of life. Any attempt to improve an organization must address the human factor issues involved in mistakes.

EPI has developed Error Prevention Training that blasts through the human factor roadblocks and improves individual and team effectiveness. Our interactive seminar addresses the issues that everyone is thinking about, but no one wants to talk about. There are no trite buzzwords, no complicated system—just practical Tools that help teams and leaders proceed together as an energized unit.

EPI's successful approach to preventing human error is based on the clear identification of more than thirty human factor Traps using simple language and practical illustrations anyone can understand. Our training shows people how to set warning flags in their heads that alert them when these Traps are working. Finally, EPI has developed more than twenty practical Tools people can use to avoid or deal with error prone situations once they are aware of the potential for error.

Even the best training won't result in continuing effectiveness unless it is reinforced on a regular basis. The key to EPI's Error Prevention Training is the Huddle Process which encourages people to "keep their radar on" at all times and to share their knowledge and ideas with others.

Our top-notch leadership training and informative Huddle Guides make the implementation of Error Prevention a smooth process in any organization.
