Human Performance Principles (HPPs)
“Human Performance Principals recognise people interact with systems, tools and processes across all levels of organisations. They encompass the way teams adapt to complex, dynamic environments, often navigating challenges and dilemmas to successfully carry out assigned tasks and activities with the goal of creating error-tolerant systems based around the capabilities, characteristics, and needs of people. (IOGP)"
Five Human Performance Principles (HPPs) have been endorsed by IOGP:
- Error is normal,
- Blame fixes nothing,
- Context drives behaviour,
- Learning is vital, and
- How leaders (you) respond matters.
These principles shift attention from who was involved to how the work was set up, to enable design of systems, tools and conditions that are tolerant of error and that help our people speak up and learn. Human Performance is the learning mindset that lays the foundation for the LSRs and PSFs. The HPPs support safer, more resilient operations by encouraging us to learn how work is done and to create conditions where people can succeed.
Safer Together is delighted to work with IOGP to promote a learning culture in our industry.
Safer Together will apply the HPPs as a foundation for how we learn and improve. We have incorporated them into our Safety Culture Framework — the "red thread" running through our Products and Programs, including our Safety Culture Survey, Industry Safety Induction (ISI) and Frontline Leadership Training.
