The highly anticipated HFACS Advanced Course is designed to provide participants with an advanced understanding of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) and its application in safety management. This course goes beyond the basic concepts of HFACS and the Human Factors Intervention Matrix (HFIX) taught in the 2-day introductory course and explores advanced techniques for integrating proactive safety tools and data analytics into the framework.
