Implementing an Effective Human Error Reduction Program

If you work in the GMP-regulated industry you not only need to address human error deviations because they are an inconvenience, you must do it because the regulation requires it. For example the CFR - Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 Subpart B_Organization and Personnel Sec. 211.22 talks about the “responsibilities of quality control unit” and it states that “(a) There shall be a quality control unit that shall have the responsibility and authority to approve or reject all components, drug product containers, closures, in-process materials, packaging material, labeling and drug products, and the authority to review production records to assure that no errors have occurred, or if errors have occurred, they have been fully investigated…”

Also, the European Commission reads, “Where a human error is suspected or identified as the cause; this should be justified having taken care to ensure that process, procedural or system-based errors or problems have not been overlooked if present. Appropriate corrective actions and/or preventative actions (CAPAs) should be identified and taken in response to investigations. The effectiveness of such actions should be monitored and assessed, in line with Quality Risk Management principles.” We, in Human Error Solutions (HES), have created the simplest and most effective human error reduction program, with 100% effectiveness when fully implemented in different organizations around the world. This valid scientific model combines qualitative and quantitative methodologies and provides practical tools that would assist your organization in achieving desired results.
