Writing Procedures With The Human In Mind: The Secret To Human Error Reduction

Why You Should Attend

Procedures are essential for both execution and audits. These should be written for users without missing relevant information for regulators. Usually, procedures have weaknesses that harm productivity, quality, and regulatory standing. We will discuss from content development to formats designed for human error reduction due to procedures.

Description of the Topic

Although it is unlikely that human error will ever be eliminated, many human performance problems can be prevented. Human errors start at the design stage.
