Does Error Prevention Training Work?

Absolutely! Error Prevention Training is Fast, Fun, and IT WORKS!

There has been considerable research in the area of human error prevention. However, most of it has been at the theoretical, design, or engineering level. Until now, very little of this research has been applied to practical instruction that can have an immediate impact on peoples' lives.

  • EPI has developed practical Error Prevention Training that people at all levels find easy to understand and implement. Even employees who were initially skeptical about Error Prevention Training say they really enjoyed the seminar and realized the value our training provides both professionally and personally. Managers typically report a significant increase in effective communications at all levels of the organization, followed by the precipitous drop in errors and incidents our clients quickly experience.
  • EPI has a team of dynamic speakers, meeting facilitators, and business consultants with years of management and training experience ready to help you and your team achieve ultimate effectiveness.
  • EPI's training does not leave people scratching their heads wondering, "What does that mean?" or "That's great, but how does it apply to me?" We have taken the academic base of this discipline and condensed it down to what really matters. No psycho-babble...just simple words and phrases that people can easily remember and start using immediately.
  • Our clients consistently report that their employees really enjoy Error Prevention Training. They particularly like the way our experienced instructors can customize each seminar or workshop to deal with their specific problems and help them to design solutions that are easy to implement.

Error Prevention Training

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.
