Error Prevention Institute

rror Prevention Training. When implemented correctly, EP Training has proven to eliminate up to 90% of human-caused mistakes and accidents in the workplace, as well as at home. The concepts in Error Prevention Training center around what we call Traps of Human Nature. These are defined as:

weaknesses inherent in human nature that reduce our effectiveness and can lead us to take actions contrary to policy, procedures and simple common sense-putting people, equipment and projects at risk. Traps can lead us to make mistakes when we least expect it. We call them traps because we don’t realize when they are working – if we did, we wouldn’t make nearly as many mistakes or have as many accidents. Error Prevention Training will go in-depth, identifying these traps, helping you to recognize when they are working and provide practical, easy-to-use tools to avoid or deal with these traps.
