MAYDAY Human Factors Training Tool

We believe that interactive Safety Training for Maintenance is conducive to a more profound understanding of why human factors and human performance and limitations issues are relevant for staff functions in the operational environment.

MAYDAY Safety Training for Maintenance is an interactive classroom training tool for human factors training. The objective is to enhance the understanding of how knowledge of human factors can mitigate the risks of a negative impact or dangerous effects throughout your organisation.

This scenario-based learning concept enables your organisation to assess the non-technical skills of your employees:

• Teamwork
• Communication
• Decision-making
• Leadership
• Situational awareness
• Risk assessment

How does it work?

MAYDAY Safety Training for Maintenance is a self-facilitating learning tool which offers an interactive and dynamic approach to human factors. The participants play together and make operational decisions as a team, but in a non-operational (safe) environment. These decisions will affect the outcome of the game, and the consequences are displayed as extra:

• Risk
• Cost
• Time

To limit the consequences, the participants must train their skills in communication, teamwork, and decision-making. And they must mitigate the Dirty Dozen which highlight the twelve most common maintenance-related causes of error – and their subsequent impact on your organisation or staff.

Safety Culture Check

The training tool incorporates debriefing sessions to get unique and valuable feedback from participants in the following areas:

• Unresolved training needs
• Organisational problem areas or safety issues
• Your role and the impact of your decisions on your staff

The information is collected by the facilitator through the built-in assessment tool which monitors and assesses the learning outcome. Furthermore, the training tool offers a management report of Best Maintenance Practice.

The report contains evaluations of the team’s prioritisations on the factors Risk, Cost & Time. This insight constitutes a strong tool for evaluating the safety culture within your organisation – and it can serve as the steppingstone for corrective action to ensure a stronger and aligned safety culture through the entire organisation.
