Without enabling and enhancing adequate behaviour, efforts to improve systems and technology could be in vain
Human Factors and Occupational Health

Research shows that over 80% of incidents can be attributed to human error. As a result, human factors need to be considered systematically.

For controlling risks, preventing accidents, incidents and ill-health, important efforts are taken to develop sophisticated management systems and technical solutions. But we cannot rely solely on systems and technology to achieve our objectives. Without enabling and enhancing adequate behaviour of management and staff, efforts to improve systems and technology could be in vain.

Our approach
DNV Consulting helps you to design safe and effective processes and work systems through the careful and systematic consideration of people issues throughout the entire system life cycle. We undertake feasibility studies and analysis, consider possible improvement processes, provide implementation support and assist in continually improving existing systems.

Possible improvement processes can be found in the following:

  • Leadership and management style
  • Human resource management
  • Organisation/Work place design
  • Group processes
  • Personality and individual factors

Our services include:

  • Diagnosis: Surveys, Interviews, Ratings, indicator and data analysis
  • Ergonomic expertise, work place design
  • Training and qualification: e.g leadership style, safe behaviour, communication
  • Stress management, health improvement programmes
  • Knowledge management and the development of learning processes
  • Team building, team development
  • Evaluation and improvement of safety culture

Benefits
