Human Reliability Engineering (HRE) in Industrial Operations

1) Course Introduction

This course focuses on human error reduction, behavioral reliability, and improving human performance in critical engineering environments.

At the human-factor reliability core, Seattle International Institute for Training integrates human error models, behavior analysis, and performance improvement systems.

2) Key Learning Objectives

Participants will learn to:

· Identify sources of human error

· Apply human reliability models (HEART, THERP)

· Improve situational awareness & decision cycles

· Develop error-proofing strategies

· Enhance safety culture and performance

3) Target Audience

· HSE teams

· Engineering supervisors

· Operations & control room staff

· Reliability engineers

4) Course Importance & Business Impact

Over 70% of industrial failures involve human factors—managing them improves safety and reliability significantly.

5) Practical Modules / Key Topics

· Human error models

· Performance shaping factors

· Error-proofing

· Behavioral safety

· Case studies
