Human & Organizational Performance
Human & Organizational Performance RSS FeedSubscribe

Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) assumes that human error is inevitable and that error is a symptom of problems within organizational systems. The HOP approach emphasizes the use of leading indicators, lessens negative consequences that lead to underreporting of incidents and near misses and includes workers in identifying safety solutions.

Saying 'everyone is responsible for safety' is problematic

The entire group should not be held accountable for individual behavior
