Implementation

The HFACS framework has found international success in helping companies to uncover many of the latent conditions that are contributing to accidents and incidents. But it is suffice to say that this type of success does not always come easy. One of the most challenging aspects of this framework is that HFACS is more than a simply a tool; it is a medium for instituting the Just Culture philosophy, in which people are encouraged, even rewarded, for providing essential safety-related information but where they are also held accountable for willful disregarding the rules. As a result, for HFACS to become truly useful, it must become part of the corporate culture. As a safety professional, you have no doubt witnessed short-lived safety efforts fizzle out over time, ultimately resulting in wasted money and trodden employee morale. For these reasons, HFACS needs to be more than just a “pet project” or a knee-jerk reaction to a recent event. Let us help you maximize the effectiveness and longevity of this robust tool for accident and incident prevention by customizing and integrating it into your company. In our experience, there are a number of steps that you can take to begin this process.

  1. Baseline HFACS Integration
    1. HFACS/HFIX Training
    2. HFACS Coding of Archival Data
    3. Target Area Identification
    4. Intervention Development

  2. Integrating HFACS for Practical Use
    1. Development of Policies and Procedures
    2. Development of Support Tools
    3. Development of Sustainability Program (e.g. train the trainer) Integrating HFACS into Current Safety Management System
