HUMAN ERROR PREVENTION
By BW (Ben) Marguglio

"Having attended two of Ben’s courses, Human Error Prevention and Root Cause Analysis, I found the course material well researched and presented in a manner that brought out both the underlying theory and practical applications.  Our company continues to send employees to Ben’s courses and has now contracted Ben to assist with improvements to our investigation and analysis processes.”

”I want to tell you that I enjoyed your seminars very much. Although we have a very useful human error analysis tool, I realize now that it is incomplete without many of the concepts and analyses you taught. I will definitely recommend your seminars to others.”

Tutorial Evaluation Form: 

Written Comments:

·    “Excellent course by an exultant presenter/teacher.”
·   “It might be beneficial to have a 3-day class and include root cause analysis as part of this as they go hand in hand. Case studies were very beneficial.”
·   “Video exercise was much more interesting to me – easier to apply material to a visual. Suggest more videos.  Presenter very concerned with achieving attendees experience – NICE!”
·   “Gave me good input to evaluate my company’s current practice.”
·   “Material is very good.”
·   “I got a lot from this course. The instructor was very good at establishing a good group culture that lent itself to significant contributions from the class.”

“I have had the opportunity to be student in Ben Marguglio’s seminars on Human Error Prevention and Root Cause Analysis.  Both of these topics are nontraditional areas of information that my organization has grown into.  The information that I gained in these courses I use on an almost daily basis.  I found the format, content and method of presentation on target for information that I could apply in my organization almost immediately.”

”With the Institute of Medicine’s to "Err Is Human" and the continuing media accounts of hospital errors, it's hard to deny the unsafe conditions that exist in US hospitals today.

"Most of the technical know-how to improve these unsafe conditions already exists in other industries.   Many safety experts have likened the current situation in hospitals today to that in aviation and nuclear power in the 1950s."

Attending Ben Marguglio’s seminar on Human Error Prevention is a very time and cost effective way to get up to speed on critical distinctions necessary for analyzing and improving patient safety.

Personally, I found his seminar to be extremely valuable and would highly recommend it to others in health care.”

"Thanks for the great seminar. I know that as an instructor you always wonder how valuable the seminar is to those attending.  As you repeatedly emphasized, moving these tools into the design phase really helped me as a Design Engineering Manager.  I have many notes for topics for upcoming staff meetings. The seminar facilities and location were outstanding."
