Human Factors training is set to take flight
‘If you think safety is expensive, try having an accident at work.’ This oft- quoted truism is behind the emphasis on Human Factors in the aviation industry. Despite rapid gains in technology, humans are ultimately responsible for ensuring the safety of planes and passengers. Human error has been identified as the primary cause of more than 70% of airline accidents. At Virtual Jet Centre, the team of professional pilots have years of
experience in designing and delivering Human Factors programmes aimed at improving people’s awareness of their own strengths, limitations and decision making processes. Reducing error and influencing behaviour is critical to safety at work. The more highly trained people are the more able they are to control the factors that cause mistakes to happen. “We have delivered Human Factors training to people
who have never flown a plane because the training is relevant whatever your industry,” said Andy Wilkins, MD at Virtual Jet. “The construction industry, public sector and emergency services in particular are very interested in how Human Factors can improve leadership skills and decision making at work.” “People love flying our Boeing 737 flight simulator and it
makes a memorable, exciting gift experience. However, there’s a very serious side to our business and corporate events are taking off. We can offer more light hearted events too, with the emphasis on fun with a competitive edge.”
