Human Performance in Maintenance Part 2

This two-day workshop was designed to be a follow up to the Part 1(about a year later) and reinforces lessons learned in Part 1 as well as covering new material.  Part 2 serves to promote the AME/AMT as the true professional that he/she is

Day One

Introduction, Course Objective and Review of Part 1

Part 2 begins, as do all the workshops, with  the objective and motivator. (Why should I be here?)  Following this is a review of the Part 1 "Dirty Dozen" in the form of a video case study that challenges them to spot the "Dirty Dozen" and "Early Life Decisions" in a mock accident interview.

Attitudes

A quiz gives them an idea of their attitude and then goes on to develop how attitudes are formed and what they can do to improve their attitude.

The afternoon is spent with "Personal Case Studies." These stories about human errors made are a powerful training tool to illustrate how simple errors can happen to anyone.

Day Two

Communication - The Written Word"

This focuses on how to ensure the writer and the reader's "mental pictures" match.  An actual case study where an incorrect logbook entry results in 24 deaths gives them a chance to rewrite the entry

Company Culture

This is looked at in order to provide an understanding of it's influence on the work safety environment

Norms - The Way We Do It Here

Norms are studied for their positive and negative influence.  Participants are trained on how to recognize the difference and how to deal with the negative ones

Case Studies

Two rather complex case studies are used that illustrate the influence of company culture as well as of the role of maintenance in the accidents. 

Wrap up

The workshops all end with the participants setting safety goals from what they have learned

A certificate of training is issued to the participants 

 

Some comments from participants

Q This is one of the most valuable workshops ever been presented to maintenance people.

Q   Once again it was serious and entertaining at the same time: for me it was valuable.

Q Can’t wait for next one

Audit Review of Workshop

Many participants have indicated that it is better than Part 1 but the participant’s attitude on beginning this second workshop, likely accounts for the positive acceptance.

This workshop is designed so it can be cut down to one day with less review of Part 1. This is not recommended but can be done.

The Magnificent 7 series of posters were designed to be the follow up to this workshop and all 8 posters promote the maintenance person as a professional.  The 8th in the series of 7 is a list of 10 reasons why the maintenance person is a professional. 

These posters are designed to be a follow up to the Human Performance in Maintenance Part II workshop. They promote the maintenance technician as a professional.
